I fear

2007-10-04T10:46:00.000-04:00

that the Wings have stoked the flames of the optimists coming into the game against the Hawks on Saturday. Such positive emotions are like spitting into the wind. It always comes back to get you. As the Wings enter game 2 things could not be worse. There are those that will tell you that pessimism is nothing but a lot of bull. They are playing with fire and will bear the brunt of the disappointment later. A daley dose of pessimism will help avoid disappointment later. Conventional wisdom would have you believing that the Wings will dominate their divison, towering over the likes of Chicago. As the season goes South, the pessimists will soldier on while the optimists nervously chomp on a stick of Wrigley's. By Valentines Day, the massacre should be finished and the Wings hopes dashed. By that time they will be languishing in last place. The Wings best chance would be to sign Steve Bartman to play goal, as he is the only sure way to stop a Chicago team. The time to prepare is now. Doom is lurking around the corner.

Prepare for the worst!

Prepare now as the Wings head to preseason camp!

As the Wings descend upon Traverse City for their preseason camp, I fear the top priority will be working on their golf games in anticipation of an early exit next spring. This season will not be one for the faint of heart. It would be prudent to avoid any hope for success so as to avoid disappointment later. Things could not be worse at this time. The team is a year older, they have lost their entire third line, and their hopes rest on the shaky groin of Hasek. With little left in the way of scoring, the Dominator will have to set a record for goals against and shutouts this year. Do not let yourself be swept up in the promise of a new season. Those feelings of optimism will lure you in, only to crush you later in a streak of bitter defeats. The time to prepare is now, before the season starts, rather than wait until it is too late. Those that have prepared will survive the long season. Those fans that have allowed optimism to cloud their thinking will wonder later how it all went wrong so fast. Lang will have Chicago on fire with a 50+ goal season, Kariya will have St. Louis playing a different tune this season, and the Preds will make easy prey of the Wings, showing Detroit what a true fan base looks like. Doom is lurking around the corner, storm clouds are building on the horizon, and the time to take cover is now.

An alarm clock for Pessimists

I knew doom was lurking around the corner but I did not know it was only 7 minutes away!

There is little time to prepare.

"Man thinks, cause he rules the earth,
he can do as he pleases,
and if things don't change soon, he will
Cause man has invented his doom,
the first step, was touching the moon"

Bob Dylan

Don't be doomed twice!!!
