Just a quick update: it sounds like dear Aunt Annie is going to be spending the weekend in the hospital, and may have a cardiac catheterization of some sort on Monday. Details are murky right now, but the Friday doctors are still making their rounds, and I’ve been asked to come to the hospital later today, so I’m kind of stuck doing caregiver stuff instead of blogging.
Not being on the blog for a third day is absolutely driving me crazy with frustration, and I miss talking hockey with you all very badly, but right now, when Aunt Annie calls, I’ve got to haul ass to Royal Oak. I am hoping to return in a day or two, especially given that AA is going to spend the weekend in the hospital before the catheterization on Monday.
It also appears that we’ve gotten good news on the hockey front: the Red Wings Tweeted out an indication that tonight’s game vs. Washington will be streamed on DetroitRedWings.com as well as broadcast on WWJ Newsradio 950…

And tomorrow’s game vs. the Chicago Blackhawks (8:30 EDT start) will air on both NBC Sports Chicago and the NHL Network.
I also wanted to let you know that I am really, really not a fan of this:
The Red Wings moved the captain’s ‘C’ on Dylan Larkin’s sweater this season.

Next week, Monday and Friday’s home games will air on Bally Sports Detroit Extra and Bally Sports Detroit, respectively (October 3rd vs. Pittsburgh, and October 7th vs. Toronto), but Wednesday’s game at Washington (October 5th) is on NBC Sports Washington only, and Saturday’s exhibition finale in Toronto (October 8th) is only on TSN4 as of right now. Here’s hoping at least one of them gets streamed for us.
Okay, that’s it for me for now. Back to doing the hospital dance. I miss you all and I hope to be back ASAP!
