And how, you’re wondering, did it occur? Ready. Set. Vomit.
In addition to contributing two goals and one assist in Tuesday’s 5-4 victory at Vancouver, Datsyuk also prevented the Canucks from scoring.
“I have blocked shot,” he said today. “I’m surprised myself, too. Today, it’s hard to put on skates.”
According to people who lie professionally, AKA the Red Wing coaches and trainers, Datsyuk is, umm, good to go. Kinda like last year’s Finals, I guess.
Oh, and Jimmah’s starting tomorrow. Maltby and Home Keys will be healthy scratches.
And...speaking of the Finals? Uncle Mike’s got some humor for you. Gather the kids because this is just plain funny.
“I told you that last year in the playoffs, when he got a shot in the foot, too, and it ended up being a hole in his thigh, so you can’t trust me one bit,’’ Babcock joked. “No, he got a shot in the foot and he should go. He just was sore today and it wasn’t going to be comfortable getting his skate on.’’
Ha ha. Mothefu**er’s got jokes.

Whatever. Just cut off the foot and give him a peg-leg, no matter how serious it is.

You know what I love about you this young season, C3PO? Your idiocy is pointed inwards at the suddenly dysfunctional Dead Things organisation. So much funnier to watch you take out your heroes, rather than other teams. You’re such a classy guy, you dumbass military lunkhead.

dynastical Red Wings organization
fixed that for you
Hate on the military, you broken condom. Also, learn to speak German and Heil the Fuhrer.

Throwing in the towel so soon?
Anyways, nothing like coming home from a 12 hour day to a report like this.

The next game at The Joe will feature an on ice heart-attack on captain Nicklas Lidstrom, in front of 20066 people.
When everybody is crying their asses off, Uncle Mike (as in that dirty old fat drunken uncle that shows up once an year at Christmas) will tell everyone it was a practical joke, via Jumbotron.

Yeah, so I was wrong a little bit, but look at the time, I posted this when we were behind so give me some kind of credit.

Dats has a hole in his thigh? So does Karen.

I’m guessing, Yes?

“I have blocked shot,” he said today. “I’m surprised myself, too.”
Is “blocked shot” a new form of VD or other communicable disease?
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Sunny SoCal on 10/28/09 at 07:41 PM ET
At this point in the year, if he needs a day or 3 to heal… it is what it is. Don’t rush just cause we’re on a one game winning streak now or anything.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/28/09 at 08:00 PM ET
Prolly just a flesh wound. No worries. None at all.
Set em up Voox.
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 10/28/09 at 08:07 PM ET
Yeah, I noticed the play that I’m pretty sure he got hurt on. If I remember right it was in the 3rd period, he was near the bottom of the left faceoff circle as the Canucks were attacking. He kinda buckled when it hit him and I thought oh no, here we go, but I didn’t notice any limp for the remainder of the game. Just hope his foot fits in his skate.

Some consolation is tonight’s Live Blog should be epic, Chief.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/28/09 at 08:16 PM ET
Yeah, John W. I remember the shot too and panicking for a half-second. I thought it was nothing after he skated it off.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/28/09 at 08:20 PM ET
Calgary scores 2 in the first 70 seconds against the Dive.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from the "NOT QUITE DEAD PIRATE" on 10/28/09 at 09:43 PM ET
I saw him take what I assume was that shot in the 3rd and was worried about it when it happened. He skated off without showing any ill effects so I thought no more of it. I hope it isn’t serious. Figures though…
Posted by Bent from The U.P. on 10/28/09 at 10:07 PM ET
Guess I should have read some of the comments more thoroughly, I basically repeated everything John W. said. I wasn’t copying, honest!
Posted by Bent from The U.P. on 10/28/09 at 10:08 PM ET
Maybe it’s all the Guinness but I think you’re all just freaking a little bit. Maybe I make it tattoo..
“I’m a shooter now, shooter,” Datsyuk said. “I’m happy to shoot. I need more shoot. I’m looking forward to shoot. Sometimes I shoot, sometimes I forget I need to shoot—maybe I make it tattoo.”
Pure poetry....

Yes sir, time to fire that bitch up.
Posted by monkey from Jesus and the Dinosaurs on 10/28/09 at 10:23 PM ET
Like everyone, I saw the play too and was surprised to see Dats play so well for the rest of the game. It probably swelled after he took his skate off. But yea, MO is right. Think bigger and let him heal. I’m sure he’s itching to go, especially since he’s a tattooed shooter.
From last post, but I need to clear something up.
I’ve been called worse by better.
Cap’n Dennis. This a good insult. But it’s unwarranted. That post, as my hyper-butch-bitch TDT pointed out, actually I don’t know what the fuch he said.
Basically, if I was insulting anyone they would know it. I’m not shy. But that post was for shits and giggles. I wasn’t actually schematize the range of reactions people were having in three sentences. That’s Chief’s gift.

Posted by Osrt on 10/28/09 at 11:27 PM ET
Yeah, John W. I remember the shot too and panicking for a half-second.
I pretty much panic on every shot block and fight after what we’ve gone through the last year or so. Even more so when we have Franzen finish a game with little to no indication anything is wrong, only to find out he’s gone 4 months.

Good game in Calagry right now.

Week 4 Power Rankings
21. (20) Detroit Red Wings (4-4-2): The Wings are still kind of treading water but got a boost from goaltender Jimmy Howard, who relieved Chris Osgood on Tuesday in Vancouver.
1. (3) Colorado Avalanche (10-1-2): Goaltender Craig Anderson wins the 13-game MVP with his 10 wins, 1.97 goals-against average and .940 save percentage.
2. (1) Pittsburgh Penguins (10-2-0): The Penguins reached 10 wins first in the league, a few hours before the Avalanche did. Sidney Crosby had three goals against Montreal.

Just wanted to share this little ditty from the NHL.com game “preview”
On a roster that currently looks like the proverbial leaderboard in a golf tournament with all the minuses, Nicklas Lidstrom leads the Wings with a plus-4.
Posted by MarkK from Maryland on 10/29/09 at 06:40 AM ET
I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again. Uncle Mike should give the fans a kiss. I always like a kiss when somebody’s pulling my doodle.
Man’s a better liar than Al Lasker.

Just a flesh wound.
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 10/29/09 at 08:35 AM ET
As a precautionary measure, I suggest we take the Hasek out of mothballs to the refit facility. Anyone still curled up inside might want to make for the exits.
EGAD.
Red Wings 09-10 is starting to resemble the proverbial SNAFU.

You’re such a classy guy, you dumbass military lunkhead
Hector, usually such asinine comments like that are ignored.
But what the military does, and who these people are, really hit home this past week for me. You see, I lost a former student in Afghanistan. It’s the first time as a teacher I’ve ever had to deal with that. And it really puts things in perspective.
And this isn’t about me, it’s about them, the military. Chief and others like him do more ‘real’ work every day then either one of us could even fathom in a lifetime. To call our military personally “dumbasses” and “lunkheads” is so detached from reality it boggles the mind.
So, at the risk of getting banned, I’ll go ahead anyways: F*** off you massive piece of sh**.

Who’ll get me plane tickets for Edmonton, or for the next home game (or, fuch, I’m now 21, take me to Vegas, baby!)?
And I hope I’ll be a zetter man at 21 than I was at 20.

The Oil are riddled with the flu/H1N1 or something. The Wings better win and not catch any flu bug/mad cow or any of that nonsense.

I apologize osrt. As TDT pointed out, I’ve been bitchy, especially yesterday.
Hector, get your fuching ingorant ass to Arlington National Cemetery. Spend the day there walking around. Listen to the families of the newly dead sobbing at the loss of their loved ones. Loved ones who died protecting the liberty and freedom you enjoy but obviously do not deserve. Make that trip Hector. And if after that trip you do not feel compelled to come back to A2Y and apologize to the Chief, then I feel sorry for you because you lack even the tiniest shred of humanity. Enjoy rotting in hell.
There, is that less bitchy?

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y.

All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome:

How Others View The A2Y 19
"Like them or hate them, it's not a good idea to start a battle with "the 19" and the Chief. 'Nuff said."
--Astute reader at Dater's All Things Avs
"Hell, I guarantee the content co-opters at Abel to Yzerman were about to link this article under the heading “Bitter Blues Fans” again right up until they just read that last half-sentance. Thanks but no thanks, you Kukla hangers-on."
--St. Louis Game Time
"I realize it’s the slow summer season, but can this guy tone down the tough-guy histrionics? His posts are fatiguing on an otherwise excellent site."
--A2Y Fan, Eternal_Fields
"I constantly marvel at how Bill (IwoCPO) and his disciples at Abel To Yzerman can be so pompous and full of themselves throughout every regular season, but come playoff time they collapse into wavering puddles of stress and nervousness as they anxiously await the impending and unavoidable collapse of the Red Wings in the post-season."
--Mile High Hockey
"I hate them because they are better than us. Of all the frigging teams…"
--In The Cheap Seats
"It's just a shame that the most classless, uneducated, lowbrow fanbase in the league gets this sweep. Red Wing fans don't deserve their team."
--Thhom
"I really don’t care what fans or bloggers think."
--Drew Sharp
"Why is it you Detroit fans are still so classless when you have such a classy hockey team, with such a professional GM and gentlemen players? I understand that the author of this blog is a manner-less cad, but the rest of you should be better."
--A2Y Fan, Jeff Beaumont
"Have you ever *read* A2Y? Its the most opinionated, juvenile stuff i've read."
--Paul Nicholson
"I actually like the Detroit team and have a sh&% load of respect for them, but their fans are the biggest douches next to Canadians."
--KStewy, PensBlog Commenter
"Just when it looks like we have bottomed out, the 19 hit a new low."
-A2Y legend, Hockeytown Todd
"And for the record, I don't hate the Red Wings, I hate their fans."
--Douche Bag at Puck Daddy who isn't Wyshynski
"You’re nothing but a douchebag ****, c3po. Go f**k yourself, and learn something about hockey in the process. Nothing ruins my day more than seeing your byline on the kk page."
--Hector, A2Y fan, statesman, Pittsburgh Chapter of Jonas Brothers Fan Club President
"I can just imagine the kindergarten teacher’s reaction when the tyke blurts out 'Mommy says Gary Bettman is a f*cking f*ckface! He wants to give ‘Rosby the bad touch.' ”
--Bella, of the 19
"A2Y is what other blog sites aspire to be when they fail to grow up: intelligent immaturity for the juvenile genius set”
--Captain Dennis Polonich, of the 19
For all we know, based on info from the organ-i-zation, (i.e. Babblespeak),
