Wings head to resort on their off day
On Thursday, the Wings took advantage of their two day break before Game #4 on Saturday night by heading to the Nemacolin Woodlands Resort and Spa, which is 90 minutes outside of Pittsburgh.
If you read one article this week outside of game recaps, read this Detroit Free Press article about their day of relaxation. I love feature type stories that highlight the humor of the players and makes them look human. This article does just that- a fun look at the Wings’ day off. This article was certainly the most entertaining one I have read all week. If I could blockquote the entire article, I would. But I can’t so here are a couple of excerpts:
“It was good for the whole team just to get away,” Kronwall said. “Just the bus ride brings guys together even more, so I think any time you do stuff like that, it just brings the team even closer together. It was an amazing place, just beautiful. They had everything.” …
Chelios had so much trouble casting that at one point, half the rod came off and landed in the water.
“I guess I would say I didn’t bring anything to shore,” Chelios conceded. “I had some on the line. I got frustrated. I’ve never fly-fished before and I didn’t like it and I’ll never do it again. You’ve got to have a little touch, a little more technique. Fishing should be relaxing. I thought I’d try it because I’d never done it, and now I know I don’t ever want to do it again.” …
While many players tried something exotic, several formed two groups and headed off to play a competitive round of miniature golf. Perhaps it’s a good omen heading into Game 4 that Chris Osgood was the reason his group won.
“It was a lot easier than we thought,” Draper said of winning. “Ozzie once again elevated his game. I rode Ozzie’s coattails like I have for the past two months. It was perfect.”
The Detroit Pistons just lost to the Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals, 89-81. This is the Pistons third straight loss in the ECF, which is frustrating to say the least. Between the series loss, the Lions continual suckage, and the Tigers disappointment, let’s hope the Wings can bring something nice and shiny to Detroit and give us all a reason to celebrate!
