You know how they mike players for games sometimes? And then afterwards they post funny clips of things the player said during the game? I could link to a bazillion different examples. If I get bored during intermission, I’ll find some.
This, for example:
At around 00:11 in the video, little Matty admits that might have had a little too much fun the night before.
Think of this as the equivalent of mike-ing me. Everything that suddenly pops into my head is about to get typed and posted. It makes my Twitter feed less polluted so that people who don’t like hockey won’t unfollow me for all the #hockeytweets.
So here we go. Everything you read after this point is a random in-game thought. Some of them might be intelligent. Some of them might be just plain stupid.

-Nick Lidstrom eye doctor commercial: how much would YOU like to say, “the same guy that pokes around in my eyes also pokes around in Nick Lidstrom’s?” Mmmmm.
-Kid in a pre-game video with a Sharks jersey with a red circle and slash painted through the logo on the chest. Question: why would you buy a jersey and then destroy it? I mean, I realize they’re a rival team….jerseys are damn expensive!
-Mike Modano is playing tonight. All I think about him when I look at him is his little cameo appearance in Mighty Ducks when they went to a Minnesota North Stars practice and game.
-FUN FACT: Mike Modano was the FIRST OVERALL draft pick of the 1988 NHL Entry Draft. I did not know this. Apparently is IS possible to be a first-overall draft pick and not have the whole universe collectively drool over you like people drool over Sindy Crosby. Oops. Did I misspell that?
-THEY’RE PLAYING LOSE YOURSELF. I can hear it over the TV.
-National Anthem: is Todd Bertuzzi chewing on his helmet or kissing it? Also, I love Justin Abdelkader. But you already knew that.
-I follow Logan Couture and Devin Setoguchi on Twitter. I have to keep reminding myself that as fun as they are to follow on Twitter, they’re the bad guys tonight.
-I LOVE replays of Kronwall hits. He’s a freakin’ monster out there.
-They say Clowe has the flu, but are skeptical over why he didn’t travel? I have to intervene here. If he had the vomit kind of flu, I wouldn’t have let him travel either. A) that’s gross B) I bet it spreads like wildfire. Wouldn’t want the whole team being sick right now, would they? Although…it’d be great for Detroit!
-DID CLEARY HIT HIS HEAD?! He’s lookin’ a little spaced out. Or maybe he always looks like that? No…he’s just got some crazy eyes.
They look like lasers.
-There should’ve been a goal there.
-WHOAAA. So the shot from the blueline should’ve gone in.
-I’m trying to decide what’s better: putting a lot of pressure on the Sharks in their zone so early in the first…or getting a lot of pressure in our own zone during the first and then coming back to apply pressure to THEM later. What tires a team out less? Applying pressure, or fighting it off?
-Wait. Are Cleary’s eyes Photoshopped in that picture? Because they definitely weren’t that blue in that interview clip they just showed.
-Kronwall just…really likes to knock people to the ground. It’s kind of awesome.
-I’m starting to talk to the TV screen. #ohboy
-Penalty kill after the commercial break.
-The Motor City Casino commercial is really cool. It’s one of those things that makes me hope that 50 years down the road Detroit is a sparkling mecca of awesomeness like Chicago or New York. But it’ll probably take longer than 50 years. And I do think that even if it does become a sparkling mecca of awesomeness, it needs to keep some of the grit and abandoned car factories. They’re so beautiful in such a derelict, urban kind of way. I’ll stop now. #easilydistracted
-WOOO! 4-on-4!!
-13 seconds of powerplay? Get itttttt.
-I only like Devin Setoguchi because we have the same name. Minus that one pesky letter “I” that should be an “O.” That’s why I liked Devin Thomas on the MSU football team so much my freshman year, too.
-Sharks being outshot 17-5 and took 9.5 minutes to make their second shot after they finally made their first one. Like I said…this might be a good thing, provided the Wings have the stamina tonight to keep applying pressure like this and the Sharks don’t have a second wind.
-Don’t touch Datsyuk!!!!!!! Jerk.
-I love Brian Rafalski. And I also wonder if media coaches teach players to always say the same things. This is a legitimate question. If I ever meet an NHL player, I will be asking him that question.
Second Period
-Someday, I want to be cool enough to stand in that little gap between the benches. I’d be way less annoying than Pierre McGuire is when he stands there.
-I’m surprised at how many empty seats there are. Is it because it’s a Tuesday night? Or because people are still in line for the bathroom? If I weren’t poor, I would’ve totally helped out with the empty seat situation by going to this game.
-If Drew Miller had been five inches back from where he was when he made that shot, it might’ve gone in. Rats.
-Twitter just told me that there’s a livestream of the Glendale City Council meeting that will decide—
-Oh wait. A fight! I can’t decide who did more damage in that one.
-Anyway. The city council meeting in Glendale, AZ that decides whether the Phoenix Coyotes stay or move back to Winnipeg next season is being livestreamed tonight. Might watch that. Because I’m legit interested.
-CLEARY…how in the WORLD did that not go in?! I was already starting my goal celly!
-The Wings have had Niemi beaten SO many times in this game and just can’t seem to get it in! Weird! Come on, guys!
