SB Nation Welcomes...uh...Tolerates New Wings Blog

Well, you knew it had to happen eventually.  SB Nation continues its expansion into the National Hockey League with its newest hockey blog, the third so far.  That's great news!  Unfortunately, the bad news is it's a Dead Wings blog.  

Christy, whom some of you may know from her original blog Behind The Jersey, will be the author of Winging It In Motown.  If she wasn't so ridiculously nice I'd suggest that we harass her and make her feel unwelcome, but she is, so I won't.*  Instead, I'll extend the olive branch (for now) to the new blog with the exception that I will be forced to call it "Slinging It In EmptyTown" henceforth.  Slinging as in slinging feces, or poo, if you will.  You get the idea.

So, welcome aboard Christy, and congratulations on having a way cooler site graphic than I have.

And may your team lose 80 games this season.

*For further reference on how disarmingly nice Christy can be, even when she's dissing the Avs, listen to the radio interview we did for the NPR show Weekend America a couple of months back.

Re: congratulations

Don't force me to start posting pictures of myself wearing a bikini.  I'll do it.

Thanks for the welcome

Thanks for the welcome Joe! Yes, I am nice. I can get angry and mean, but it rarely happens especially when I'm talking about hockey (unless it's that Andreas Lilja turnover that cost us the Stanley Cup this year or Patrick Roy or Claude Lemieux).

Anyways, I wish to see the Avs struggle into the playoffs and earn the No. 8 seed. Upon which, the Wings will take the top seed after dominating the Central Division (which is even weaker than last year, is that even possible?) and then rock the Avs in round one of the playoffs.

Thanks again.

Welcome!

Christy,

The Red Wings can have the President's Trophy every year and get those hopes sky high. We love the incredulous look on your faces after every loss.  It's pure gold.

Good luck this season.

you know

I actually think that Central division is going to be surprisingly tight this year. I don't Nashville is going to tank quite like people think they will, and St Louis, Chicago and Columbus can't keep sucking forever, can they?

actually...

they can.  detroit should have a nice easy schedule en route to the inevitable playoff upset.

Yes they can

Yes they can keep sucking forever. ;)
Well at least Columbus can, at least the Blues and hawks have improved somewhat.

go wings

Re: Yes they can

The Hawks may be a little better, but I can't wait to see the look on Jonathan Toews' face when Lidstrom shuts him down shift after shift.
