Pretty sure every one of you has H1N1, which is why I’ve kept my distance today. Oh, I was tempted. The discussion that just wouldn’t end about points and won/losses and hookers...a thriller.
Thank god it’s almost game time on Little Gary’s Closed Circuit TV Station.
It’s Gary’s world. If one accurate thing was uttered today that was it. The little troll’s got us by the nads.
So we might as well Live Blog this bitch.

Versus is selling the Wings a little too hard.
Bad Omen

I was perusing the Pen(i)sblog today for the first time since last spring. Some cool dude on there was criticizing KK for having A2Y on the site. They then proceeded to call the Chief a professional hockey blogger. Funny sh1t.

Sorry, slightly detained at the feed trough.

Ozzie’s been hot. Good to see. Only drawback is it may give Tick Tock enough confidence to not put Jimmah on waivers like, yesterday.
myoho renge kyo
myoho renge kyo
the wings are going to make the playoffs
myoho renge kyo

Let Jimmah earn his spot, and lose it, he has the time to prove himself. We are going to make the playoffs, even if he isn’t spectacular. Trade deadline we can do something if necessary, but let’s give Jimmah a dozen or so shots before we ride him out on a rail.
Remember how useless many thought Quincy was? He has more in him than many thought.

If anyone has to go, it is TheLinkGoesHere. He is unreadable on an otherwise amazing KK site. Especially considering Paul is independent, and isn’t Yahoo!-rich.
I’ll consider the drunken opinions of urine-stained street people before I think anything at Pen(i)sblog has merit. Hell, they banned me for talking hockey (repeatedly, and finally permanently) the cowards they are.
Like the douche at redwings hardware.
I can’t keep track of all your beefs, Chief, I know you don’t like something about RWH’s attitude. What exactly pisses you off about him?

You say that like you expect there will be a good result?
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 19 on 11/03/09 at 09:37 PM ET
Wow—two P/K kills. Maybe the proverbial worm is in fact turning.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 19 on 11/03/09 at 09:39 PM ET
Alright bitches, off to Euchre and Dollar Tacos at Sedgwick’s. Only time I’ll be happy the game is on versus. I’ll have the tasty little waitress hook us up.

Voox: this.
If you want to hear some real blazing hyperbolic nonsense, you should head over to Abel to Yzerman (check the Red Wings Pro Sites on the right). The lesson here, folks, is that as soon as you place ads on your blog and start using it as a place to generate revenue, you keep your eyes on viewership statistics more than quality control or cool concepts like rationality. I mean, I’m dumb, I’m the guy who questioned the acquisition of Chris Chelios over nine years ago by asking “yeah, but how long can he play?”, but I’m not so callous as to, you know, incite sensationalistic controversy regarding the defending Stanley Cup Champions.
These blogs dudes, once they go pro, they start writing like effing amateurs.

Ozzie putting together his first shut the fuch up of the season.
Posted by pgoody from #8 spot in the West on 11/03/09 at 09:40 PM ET
That was good 40 minute effort. Ozzie’s standing on his head. Skate to the throat for the next 20. Just make sure it’s on the foot before you press down.
I friggin hate two-goal leads.
Posted by WingsFanInBeanLand from Earth. on 11/03/09 at 09:41 PM ET
Scoreless second.
Both teams were lucky.
Outshot again 8-7.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from the "NOT QUITE DEAD PIRATE" on 11/03/09 at 09:42 PM ET

Hard to really feel good about it considering Boston’s PP this year though.

See if she’ll put on the game as well, bra.

Shut. Whore. Mouth.
I just thought of a new word to describe TheLinkGoesHere:
He is a voyeURL. A linking tom. Someone who masturbates through linking exclusively to their own writing in new blog posts.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 11/03/09 at 09:44 PM ET
We’re lucky so far...really lucky
Gotta play better, I can just feel it being one of those games if they don’t
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 11/03/09 at 09:45 PM ET
Bert is looking slow out there. Flu?
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

I know dude. And outshot 8-7. Mail it in.

Just for tonight I wish Sasquatch was still with the Ducks.
Posted by WingsFanInBeanLand from Earth. on 11/03/09 at 09:46 PM ET
Another meaning of voyeURL:
A voyeURL is a person who uses the internet to spy on somebody and otherwise invade their privacy.
I like this new word.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 11/03/09 at 09:48 PM ET
Tyler from Arizona and HockeyTownTodd are A2Y’s Optimists Club.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 11/03/09 at 09:49 PM ET
Felt like we weren’t pressuring their zone enough that period. Need to put the foot down.
Posted by stayouttamalibu from Temporarily in Tempe, AZ on 11/03/09 at 09:50 PM ET
I miss the Jackatoreum commercial.
Posted by WingsFanInBeanLand from Earth. on 11/03/09 at 09:50 PM ET
Datsyuk is just a wizard. that pass of the board to himself. simple i guess, and I’m sure I’d see more of it if I watched any other hockey...but effortless.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 11/03/09 at 08:15 PM ET
I watch other hockey. There are no others as good as Datsyuk. He is truly one of a kind.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa. on 11/03/09 at 09:51 PM ET
Hard to reallydy feel good about it considering Boston’s PP this year though
Dude, I know the BOS PP is pathetic.
But 2-2 on the kill against anybody is good for the Wings.
Imagine how they’d feel if they surrendered one or two against them.
Gotta take the positive where and when you can.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 19 on 11/03/09 at 09:52 PM ET
Don’ even say it. That jackass announcer on Versuxs. Bitches.

Fair enough. I’m not saying it’s totally their PP’s fault, we have looked strong on the PK tonight, aggressive and smart.
Posted by stayouttamalibu from Temporarily in Tempe, AZ on 11/03/09 at 09:55 PM ET
I love the hillbilly hottub
Maybe my neck is too pale; maybe my science doesn’t work in some parts of the backwoods; but I just don’t get how that is a good idea.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 11/03/09 at 09:56 PM ET
Helm is on a mission to avoid being a healthy scratch ever again.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 19 on 11/03/09 at 09:57 PM ET

You called it Chief.
Posted by WingsFanInBeanLand from Earth. on 11/03/09 at 10:00 PM ET
Just because the US needs a Versus contract, why do us Canadians have to be subjected to their announcers as TSN picks up their broadcast?
Gary Bettman is a pedarast.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 11/03/09 at 10:00 PM ET
Anyone have anything smart to say about this PK? Anyone?
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 11/03/09 at 10:01 PM ET
Made it back for the start of the 3rd.
By the score, I didn’t miss much. Did I?
Boston looks determined to get things going for themselves.
Ozzie hanging tough ...
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 11/03/09 at 10:02 PM ET
Zetterman shows why he is the Future Captain. Goes to the ice to block the shot on the PK.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 11/03/09 at 10:02 PM ET
BOS PP looks awful. No-one moving at all.

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. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. 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:

Wanna Feel Smart?
Does confusion make you sad? When you read words like "enigma" and phrases like "Thanks Gary. Ass", do you wonder why mean people speak in languages you don't understand? Fret no longer friend! The A2Y Glossary will bring you great joy and enlightenment.

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
Yep. I like Eaves.
