We celebrated when Zetterberg scored the 2nd goal on a power play with a wrist shot, then Draper tip-in the third goal, and the celebration continued with Kronwall slap-shot the fourth goal and Filppula finished up the night with a snap shot. Here is how nasty I was - the St. Louis Blues has a promotion that offers 35 cents for each taco when the Blues score 5 or more goals. The fans usually chant - We Want Tacos - when St. Louis on the scoring track. I could not resist when I said to a Blues fan (he started it when he tried to hurt me with a reminder of the Red Wings loss 0-8 to the Predators over the weekend) "Do you still get 35 cents tacos? Wait, my mistake, the Red Wings scored 5 goals not the Blues." HAA HAA HAA
Here is the dark side of TOTA, the Hockey Junkie. As my husband and I were walking towards Scottrade Center, we minded our business but a Blues fan saw our Red Wings jerseys and tried to hurt us with a comment, "What happened to the dead wings in Nashville?". The Red Wings suffered the worst loss of the season, 0-8 to the Predators on Saturday night. I refused to tolerate this kind of unsportsmanlike conduct. I calmly responded, "Pity us, we are just trying to make the playoffs. I am sure the Blues need only one more point to get the Presidents' Trophy for the best record". The man did not expect such a sharp comment coming from a little chubby Chinese woman, and he almost ran away with "you know what" between his legs! He started it - HAA HAA HAA (TOTA, Be Nice!)
This is My Dream Line - (photo above) Zetterberg, Datsyuk and Franzen - unbelievable puck possession skills, smooth accurate passing and out-of-this-world take-away the puck before opponents knew what happened. It is always a treat to watch this trio in actions. (Hey Greg - how could you or anyone not love the Red Wings?)
