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.

I would lose all respect for my team if they had CROCS sponsoring the boards at center ice. WTF do Crocs have to do with hockey? Might as well be Massengil !!!!

Not sure which is worse. This or this.

Huh. I would have lost respect for my team right around the time they retired the jersey of a rental player...but that’s just me.

Forsberg has an interest in what?
Oh. Crocs.

Someone needs to take your internet away when your drinking Southern Comfort.

Man, I come back and nothing is happening.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/27/08 at 11:13 PM ET
I like the Hossa/Zetterberg combo. GO WINGS.

Maybe a stupid question but....
Is it possible the Lidstrom injury is bogus? With Cheli back to full strength and an impending salary cap issue....I am wondering if it’s just a Babcockian hoodwink....
Cheli isn’t playing all that bad!

Game is starting to get interesting.
I’m going to just forget I read the first hlf of this live blog.

My retort was far less considerate

Probably a good idea Gramps.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 11:16 PM ET
Too many men, again.
Posted by Seaner on 12/27/08 at 11:18 PM ET
Bitter Brittle Bitches 3
San Jose 2
Shootout.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 11:19 PM ET
Ouch...Cleary just bounced face-first off the ice…
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/27/08 at 11:19 PM ET
Watching Altitude: I found myself in CA. It’s strange here compared to the Mitten.
Posted by Seaner on 12/27/08 at 11:21 PM ET
Surprised Maltby didn’t get a charge there...he took like, 6 strides.
Ugh, Hossa and Datsyuk had chances.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/27/08 at 11:21 PM ET
I’m going to give those shifts where Cleary is running all over the place down low just creating havoc their own term: Dances.
After all, there’s nothing better than a Charlie Foxtrot in the offensive zone.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 11:21 PM ET
Smyth was throwing punches at Conklin while they were both down. That’s why Mule was going after him.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 11:23 PM ET

Well, when the Sasquatch Raping Trannys are on the loose, you never know what you’ll find. Must have something to do what Dater’s “good, stiff drink”. Enjoy the “crocs”, Trannylanche.
Posted by Ha Hockey on 12/27/08 at 11:23 PM ET
This is a good game, however the refs may try to screw it up.
Posted by Seaner on 12/27/08 at 11:26 PM ET
Did he just say Laperierre is one of the smartest players in his end?
Huh? Really?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 11:28 PM ET
OTT just pissed away a 2 goal lead to CGY inside of 3 minutes, in the 2nd

Maybe he was talking about his rear end.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 11:29 PM ET
LaPerriere wins Oscar for Best Dramatic Performance.
Posted by Seaner on 12/27/08 at 11:30 PM ET
CGY ahead now 3-2, all inside of 4 min.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 12/27/08 at 11:31 PM ET
I’ll be damned, the Wings get a point. Let’s see how this plays out.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 12/27/08 at 11:31 PM ET
Nice reaction time by Laperriere! Hahahaha…
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/27/08 at 11:31 PM ET
all things considered i guess we’re glad to have this 1 point at least, but damn colorado is actually lucky to get 1 point out of this with all the gifts they were given in the first period.
that is the way you dominate a 2d tier team.

What the *#$%@& was that weird-ass save by Conks?
Posted by DetroitHockey on 12/27/08 at 11:34 PM ET
LET’S GO RED WINGS CHANT in the AssCan
Posted by Seaner from San Jose on 12/27/08 at 11:36 PM ET
Pissin away a lead Gramps.... sounds all too familiar unfortunatley.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 11:36 PM ET
What a retard, doesn’t even know who called the TO
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 11:38 PM ET
Red Wings fan caught that puck that came over the boards. From the sounds of the crowd tonight, the law of averages were on our side for that.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 11:41 PM ET
Great now the Avs have just as good a chance at winning as us after all that crap in the third.
Hope Datsyuk has a new move.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/27/08 at 11:41 PM ET
Shootout, huh? I say go with Buckets, the Oompa Loompa, and Hossa. Just for fun.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 12/27/08 at 11:41 PM ET
Wings looked tired tonight. I don’t recall seeing so many one handed swipes at the puck.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 12/27/08 at 11:42 PM ET
Can’t be satisfied with 1 here, unfortunately. Not with Little Toddy’s boys leaving a point on the table.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 11:42 PM ET
I rather dislike deciding a game with a novelty item of a shootout
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 11:42 PM ET
Jesus. He could have sold Conk a bridge.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/27/08 at 11:44 PM ET
Anyone missing Osgood after that first shootout chance?
And Pavs hits the post.

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”
