That's a Paddlin'

Written by Drew on .

thatsapaddlinNot getting the the Fourth Seed?
That's a paddlin'.

Losing to Chicago?
That's a paddlin'.

Having Datsyuk get shown up by Patrick "Cabbie Slapping" Kane in the shootout?
That's a paddlin'.

We have exactly two more nights until we all will pretty much be reduced to puddles of stress.  The play-offs are no longer upon us...they are here.  What's done is done in the regular season.  A record-breaking season that ended in mediocrity with a fifth place seed.

Our Wings head into Music City for Game One on Wednesday and at least we can watch the game and still get some sleep (depending on the outcome).

Not making the jump? That's a paddlin'.

winged_wheelNot showing up with that play-off jump FROM THE OPENING FACE-OFF on Wednesday?
That's a paddlin'.

Not winning the Stanley Cup?
That's a paddlin'.

Paddlin' the school canoe?
Oh, you better believe that's a paddlin'.

What else would you readers consider "a paddlin'" heading into Wednesday's post-season action?  Let's hear your gripes, your fears...I figure we might as well try and use a little humor and try to have some fun with the stress.

Let's get it all out now shall we?

The wings not scoring 3 or more goals when we have pav, hank, mule, huds, fil, lids and kronner, among others ? That's a paddlin

Going to school where I'll be on lockdown for a majority of the time for the next 17 days and not being able to watch the first round of the playoffs. That's a paddlin'

Not shootin' on the net. That's a paddlin'. Playing like they don't care. That's a double paddlin'. Letting Nashville smile. That's a paddlin'. Punching on the first date. That's a handshake and high-five.

For the first time in my life I truly have no idea what to expect from this team in the playoffs. I can see us getting sent packing in the first round and I can see us making a run. Nashville was a bad draw for a first round opponent based on the other potential first rounders we could have played but could be beneficial long term (less travel). But first we have to get passed them...

 @marti783 I've heard that argument a lot lately, but I'm glad we got Nashville. Nashville is a great litmus test for this team. If we can't beat them, then it's over quickly. If we can beat them, well they won't be weary from travel, won't be banged up from playing a physical team (hopefully), and will have beaten one of the tough teams from the West.

 @marti783 I would hope that the boys realize this could be a certain somebody's last season wearing the #5 Winged Wheel and play like it. An early exit in the first round is not an option

#gettingchrisontwitter isn't a paddlin'

 

but not having home ice against the team who's defensemen we'd like to convince would be better off in our organization... paddlin.

 @Twig Working on it.  I'll post something before the start of the playoffs.

Letting Jim Howard get run by Jordin Tootoo. That's a paddlin'. Not capitalising on the power play to deter NSH from gooning it up. That's a paddlin'. Brendan Smith not playing, and it's not just that I'm soft on the kid because he was named after me  (way after).
