Wow. Big day. For the first time in three years, a savant actually used the word “brah” in the comment section.
It threw us all for a loop, but I think we’ll recover.
When? Now.
Just in time for the Live Blog Bitches. BJ’s for all, courtesy of Rick Nash.

Spit it out Murph.... sounds like he’s lightly slurring his words all the time these days.

I could watch Datsyuk’s shootout goal over and over and over in the pregame.
My mom didn’t see it until the highlights on the news - she and my dad just got a new HDTV (it was their 40th anniversary gift to each other) and even my dad, who is not a big sports fan, was watching the game. My mom was in and out, and after a bit she asked my dad who won the game. He told her it was tied at the end of overtime. She asked again who won, and he said, “I turned it off before they started that asinine tiebreaker crap.”

This is so I don’t forget!
And also to remind all the Maple Leaf Canadians driving down I-95 to Florida and back.

MO - I think Murph had some undisclosed concussions.
Errr...ok, he just drinks a lot these days. WCII he was looking haggard.

I suspect a big BJ night from Dick Rash. I hope we can contain him!
Go WINGS....enjoy the game Bitches.
Happy Birthday/Anniversary Chief.

I like seeing Murphy on NHL Network...a familiar face, Wing-friendly. He is definitely not a Douche Canoe.

See Baroque, you reappear and we are on page 2 and the game hasn’t started.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/06/09 at 07:37 PM ET
Hugs?
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/09 at 07:29 PM ET
Gropes?
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 01/06/09 at 07:38 PM ET
Yeah, I think that may be a record MO.
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 01/06/09 at 07:38 PM ET
Thanks for the link....my Directv is blocked out by a 10 mile deep cloud bank. Geez, I had to put on 2x reading glasses to see the screen.....The upside to it is that I won’t have to look at Murphy and Keating in HiDef.

Dammit....why don’t they ever show Karen singing anymore?
ARRGH!

This better not be a long night boys.

Side-track:
In the Buffalo-Ottawa game, Jarkko Ruutu bit Andrew Peters’ thumb during a face wash/scrum, leaving teeth marks in Peters finger. Peters drops his gloves and picks up an unsportsmanlike penalty. He didn’t drop his gloves to fight, he dropped them to show the ref his bitten digit.
This league is amazing.

2 giveaways? 1 minute in?
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 01/06/09 at 07:39 PM ET
Yikes, that was pretty ugly breakouts there. Lil more work on puck support please.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/06/09 at 07:40 PM ET
I already miss Lilja,
No, I’m not being sarcastic.
Posted by dougie on 01/06/09 at 07:40 PM ET
that’s a nice link, 1/2 second behind my Center Ice feed.
Also, nice turn over inside our blue line, lucky we’re not down 1-0 already.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 01/06/09 at 07:40 PM ET
Hossa is due. Big time.
I don’t even remember seeing him in the windy city....
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 01/06/09 at 07:40 PM ET
Dammit....why don’t they ever show Karen singing anymore?
Notice Baroque is here, someone had to take her place..... RWBill, what say you?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/06/09 at 07:40 PM ET
Gropes?
Maybe not. Depends how the game goes and what kind of mood I’m in, maybe. 
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/09 at 07:41 PM ET
Whoa. Hoss on the third line now? Happy, Wally and him?

Someone start feeding her Strohs, or PBR!

I, for one, have not noticed the guy lately. Maybe Babs is sending a message?

JFC, another shit my pants moment at the 4 minute mark.. thats 2 already
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/06/09 at 07:43 PM ET
Wow, that was a Hasek moment.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/06/09 at 07:43 PM ET
Request to Ty -
PLEASE don’t give me a heart attack! I have too much work to do!
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/09 at 07:44 PM ET
Speaking of PBR, where’s Dub lately?
Still selling crafts in his spare time?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/06/09 at 07:44 PM ET
Maybe Babs is sending a message?
Isn’t he still up there in points though?
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 01/06/09 at 07:45 PM ET
William Tell LMAO 10 feet over the net
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 01/06/09 at 07:45 PM ET
I don’t know about a message - Hossa has looked more snakebit than anything else. It’s not like he’s demoted to skating with a couple of nobodies.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/09 at 07:46 PM ET
Looks like that was just a partial change. He was out with Z last couple.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/06/09 at 07:46 PM ET
There is NO reason for Sammy to not have hit the 24 SQUARE FEET where the goalie stands....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/06/09 at 07:47 PM ET
Chief, I think Wally just stayed on a bit long on that shift, so Hank couldn’t get on. He’s been going with Cleary and William Tell to start the game so far, and the Big Hoss is with Hank and Happy.
Posted by Alzy from Innisfail, Alberta, Canada on 01/06/09 at 07:47 PM ET

Zero points in five of the last six games. Three assists at Wrigley.
Posted by monkey from Waiting for the lambs to stop screaming on 01/06/09 at 07:48 PM ET
Nate beat me to the punch…
I think the lines are kinda funky anyway. The only reason we changed them last year was because of injury, for the most part. Seems like Uncle Mike is changing them quite a bit.
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 01/06/09 at 07:48 PM ET

Maybe he has an iron allergy.
And it’s transmitted to his pucks.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/09 at 07:48 PM ET
Well Hossa had 3 assists in the Gary.Ass.Bridgestone game.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 01/06/09 at 07:50 PM ET
ah crap, Stu may just have given Cheli/Lebda/Meech a starting spot for a while.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/06/09 at 07:50 PM ET
I’ll bet that’s a broken nose for Stuart.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/06/09 at 07:50 PM ET
Stuck in a loft in Chelsea, waiting for the tenant. No jokes now.
So I thought I’d pick up the live feed and join in because I’ve had six bottles of eight percent and no dinner. This is pretty much what my childhood was like when I’d been bad.
Baroque, a sincere welcome back. Good to have you.
Just try not to bring any idiotic penalties like that one with you.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from a foreign computer on 01/06/09 at 07:51 PM ET
Stuart caught a stick in the face on a BJ follow-through - officials didn’t notice.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/06/09 at 07:51 PM ET
Zero points in five of the last six games. Three assists at Wrigley.
Posted by monkey from The AQ on 01/06/09 at 07:48 PM ET
Well in that case I’ll go with Chief. overdue.

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
