November 2, 2001: Chris Osgood Returns to the Joe
Road Trippers: Willi and Magoo
    I was planning to watch Ozzie’s return with the Isles on TV. Then, about 5 days before the game, Willi asks me how bad I really want to go to that game. We know the answer to that one…so she finds two tickets on ticketmaster, thing was they weren’t together and they were expensive. So we decided against that and didn’t really think we would go, but then her dad said he thought he might be able to buy Doc Tim’s tickets. (Doc Tim is their dentist) We had a backup plan too, of course. If we couldn’t get his, we were just gonna head down to Detroit anyway…and find us some tickets. Mmhmm, that’s all that needs to be said about that. But luckily we got his seats, and off we went to the Joe!
I wore Jenni’s Shanny jersey bc my Stevie jersey is unwearable…I don’t want some drunken bastard to fling beer onto my autographs lol. We get to the Joe and go down to watch the pregame warmup with our signs for Ozzie. This may sound strange, since we’re huge Wings fans, but we stood on the Isles side for warmup. (We were going to a game again in two wks so we could watch the Wings then) At the end of the pregame show we got on TV, it’s pretty damn cool; I’ve got it on tape. So we watched the game, Kris Draper scored 2 goals and we won the game 2-1 or 3-1, I don’t remember if we got an empty-netter or not. The point is, we won, and the next home game was going to be the game we were going to again.
Note: At this point, I’d like to point out that none of us are rich mo fo’s. We all scrap together our meager excuses for money to go see the Wings, and while this may seem foolish to some, it freakin rules man! lol…
