Saw this yesterday and decided to save it for tonite’s extravaganza from the Ass Can. Adrian Dater, after several paragraphs devoted to the Dive’s number one center---Tyler Arnason---has this recommendation for the 14 die hard Denver fans left in his dear city.
...if I’m a fan of the Avs, I’m taking a good, stiff drink before tomorrow’s game.
All the spritzers you can sip, Dive fans. Send the bill to Adrian.
It’s a Live Blog bitches. Let’s hope this one turns out better than the one December 15th.

Evening bitches. Since I’m hanging with the family, I’m not sure I can get away with live blogging tonight. But I’ll jump in when I can. Luckily my dad has good booze so I can manage to sit through this one.

LOL Gabe! Flame on my brother…
Anyone with feeds? I think this one is going to be hard to find for some!

We lost to Nashville last night, and of course, these guys before that, so just because Stastny is out, if I were Avs fans I wouldn’t be completely freaked out.

I’ve polled the interns on that Gabe. You’re safe. Snow blower jokes are fair game.

Malik reports Chelios in for Lidstrom.

Evening ladies!
Alright Gabe going for the jugular right outta the blocks! Joe’s learning that opposable thumbs are a gift!

I’m fine with Conks again. Hopefully Nik isn’t out more than a game or 2. Be awful nice for him to play in Little Gary’s WC.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 08:47 PM ET
I’m praying Lids gets to play in the WC. Chelios too.
BTW, I’m still looking for recommendations on 19-based signage to be displayed at Wrigley if you all have suggestions.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 08:50 PM ET
Yeah, My awesome sis got tickets for us. We’re on the 1st base side. I’ve already got my Chelios jersey laid out in preparation for all of the friends I’m bound to make.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 08:53 PM ET
J.J. You MUST include a shout out to the Douche Canoe from the rear of the Hasek.
Vinegar and water freezes in sub-zero temperatures doesn’t it? Now I’m concerned.
Slow hockey day = talking about Hank’s beard. I’d rather hear them talk about his lack of performance last night.

Nothing up on Justin TV.
Time to pause the search and pour a splash of 10 Cane rum. Cheers MO!

By the way....was the Knitting Lady a member of the 19...honorary or otherwise? I imagine that old lady had a brick and a vial or two of Octopus urine in her purse.
Another landmark gone....thanks Gary! ASS!
Posted by The Hurricane on 12/27/08 at 08:58 PM ET
I think knitting lady should be made an honorary member of the 19 postumhousely.

Bill takes the early lead on that one. I like it.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 09:05 PM ET
MO, the access code should be: detroitsports. i tried it and it took me to the emerald bowl. not sure if that’s going to switch at game time or not.
RWBill: i like the second one.
And JJ, if it’s 45 and slushy my recommendation for a sign would be: It’s freezing in Ann Arbor Gary. Ass.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 09:06 PM ET
Access code “detroitsports” but I get the Emerald Bowl from ESPN on that link.
Looks like I’ll have to delay the video feed cuz they’re showing the freaking Altitude Sports.
wxyt.com it is.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 12/27/08 at 09:08 PM ET
Altitude idiots: “...looking for a revival of this rivalry.” Sorry boys. That thing is dead and buried.

With a broom stick shoved in the ass of the Dive for good measure.

We found the body that way. Honest.

So I’m stuck watching my folks play mario kart on the wii while we DVD the game. Argh. Gonna need a LOT more alcohol.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 12/27/08 at 09:12 PM ET
Oops meant dvr the game. Stupid spell check.

That is classic Jen. We may need pictures.

Sup peoples…
Lilja got saved by Raffy, but I’m generally liking this “try to take them out early” approach to stepping up. They’ll think twice about going up the middle.
Lilja on the first line should be a sign of the appocalypse.
Posted by Osrt on 12/27/08 at 09:16 PM ET
Hmmm already tired of seeing the little old lady behind Uncle Mike. She scares me.
Posted by The Hurricane on 12/27/08 at 09:17 PM ET
Chelios almost beat up a ginger kid...I would have paid good money to see that.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/27/08 at 09:17 PM ET
Altitude now talking about how old Chelios is. Only took them 5 and a half minutes of game time.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/27/08 at 09:18 PM ET
terrible. we were scrambling like kids with add.
Why the hell is Raffy trying to cover a point shot?
Posted by Osrt on 12/27/08 at 09:19 PM ET
Deflected off a Wing stick, a shaft if you will.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 09:19 PM ET
Wings look listless at best. Mentioned this today, I think. Two days in a row, each day flying into a road city the day of the game, is *#$%@& ridiculous.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 09:21 PM ET
Looks like it’ll be another bad start. No flow…
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/27/08 at 09:21 PM ET
WTF 3 things wrong on that goal.
1. Rafalski should have going with momentum behind Conklin and blasted the puck out instead of stopping and reversing.
2. All 4 Red Wings were below the goal line at the same time.
3. Rafalski back handed the puck out in front of the net (did I see that right?)
Is this why we are not the same team without #5 on the ice?
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 12/27/08 at 09:22 PM ET
Big save by Conks there. we need some energy out there.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 09:24 PM ET
I’m running around…
from the BBQ, to the big screen to the computer (no F$@@*&% link!), another drink and back again.....
just like the the Wings.
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 12/27/08 at 09:26 PM ET
Leopold has no balance and Kopecky gets punished for it?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 09:27 PM ET
What was the call on that? The specific penalty? What a horseshit call.

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
