This is a live blog to spite a certain reader who said I wouldn’t show due to the Rocky marathon on Versus. Yes, I watched several hours of Rocky today. And, yes, I’ve stopped watching because the Wings are on. In fact, the Wings are on HDNet tonite. Hasek in net. I have no idea what to expect. I do know that cranberries were available on my dinner table today and I shunned them, because I’m an adult and I eat only the things I enjoy.
Wings/Bubba. Live blog here.

Downey draws another penalty just by being near the crease. Another example of what he brings to the team that Drake hasn’t shown us.

Mason looks sharp tonight, and the preds just scored while I was typing this. Arnott..1-1

The intermission round-up was on the Nashville network was just pretty awful.

I guess Nik is going to work Hasek out of his slump by making the saves for him.

*Throw a THAT in between round-up and was in my above post.

Evenin’ all.
Just emerging from my Trytophan stupor, hope everyone had/is having a good one.
Need beer, back soon.
Chief - if you get a sec, email me from your most readily accessible account, I have something for ya. If you need the addy again just let me know.
And yes, I succumbed to the wiles of that canned crimson devil and ate two bites - Grandma was well pleased.
I felt shame.

Wings aren’t holding up so well along the boards, against the preds they look small.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 11/22/07 at 09:30 PM ET
Interesting contrast tonite. Wings, in general, look like warmed over crap. Hasek, specifically, looks great.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 11/22/07 at 09:31 PM ET
No doubt Dub. Nice saucer pass from Datsyuk too.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 11/22/07 at 09:40 PM ET
Dom, Dom, Dom… you flopping mofo.
Methinks they have your floppage figured out.
OZZIE! OZZIE!

Dom, Dom, Dom… you flopping mofo.
Quiet over at my place, I wondered if anyone else was thinking that.

What is going on..the full moon isn’t until Saturday.
OTT/PIT 5-5 1/2 way thru the third and penalties are OTT-9, PIT-6
DET/NAS 14 penalties in 2 periods.
Do all the good Refs get Thanksgiving off ?

Yep.
You know what, Dom?
You’re not always posing for an SI cover, sometimes you just gotta make the #%&*%^$ save.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 11/22/07 at 09:54 PM ET
Both wing goals were pp
NAS 1 ESG, and 1 4 on 4
Preds outshot the Wings 16-7 in the 2nd.
Just not looking good

Wings defense are just leaving Hasek naked in the crease. Mick says they are afraid to touch anyone because of tonights officiating.

I’m getting the Bubba feed tonight on NHL TV. I turned off the sound, but I’m still feeling nauseas from these BS penalties.
Posted by soft watch from ontario on 11/22/07 at 10:23 PM ET
When all of these crappy little calls are being made, how do they choose which hooks are okay and which ones aren’t?
Posted by Clark on 11/22/07 at 10:33 PM ET
Oofa.
Ugly for a variety of reasons, all of them obvious.
Thanks Gary!
Thanks Dom!
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 11/22/07 at 10:41 PM ET
Dom was excellent, and his teammates let him down. He stopped 16 shots in the 2nd alone, and he was the reason the Wings had an opportunity to win in the 3rd, but the Wings blew it.
Posted by George James Malik from South Lyon, MI on 11/22/07 at 10:42 PM ET
In spite of the penalties, Nashville deserved to win that, they dominated the boards from the 2nd period on. I’m with George on the Dominator.
Mason kept the Preds in that game in the first, he looked pretty sharp. Not exactly confident..but right on his game.
Redmond said the Preds home games were almost all against teams that played the night before when NAS was rested.
Thanks IWO

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:
A2Y Stuff

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
"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

Ok...if you’re watching HDNet you saw the two large specimens holding their go bubba signs then the Pat-like thing that sang the anthem. And you wonder why hockey is leaving Nashville soon?
