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’ve retreated to the man cave to see something I’ve become rather used to sadly.
The Wings giving up the first one.....
Or 2

And they score on it. I wish Leopold had broken his ankles.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 12/27/08 at 09:28 PM ET
Are you *#$%@& kidding me? They score on a total bullshit penalty. Of course.

If the refs would like a reminder as to what interference is, they should have been watching as two of the Dive stepped in front of Z there to keep him from the puck.

Gary. Ass. Is simply having the ref’s set the tone for us so we’ll be used to it for the WC.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 09:32 PM ET
I also like the ref succeeding where the Avs had failed in taking the puck from Datsyuk.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 09:32 PM ET
Stuart has had several good hits as has and Lilja is playing pretty well too.
Posted by Osrt on 12/27/08 at 09:32 PM ET
Complain about the refs all you want, doesn’t help that the Wings suck…
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/27/08 at 09:34 PM ET
We aren’t losing to these mother#$#$*ers 2 in a row.
Really. Thats 1/2 as bad as we did to them in the Spring.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 09:35 PM ET
Ahh...Conk had to pee. FSD just showed him running into and out of the lockerroom.
Posted by Osrt on 12/27/08 at 09:36 PM ET
You mind if I keep complaining about the refs after that call, Tyler?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 09:36 PM ET
I’m gonna turn this off if the Avs score here. Kronwall didn’t do anything the Avs haven’t tonight.
And they score. Good night people.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 12/27/08 at 09:37 PM ET
That’s it. I’m getting drunk. *#$%@& refs. Un-*#$%@&-believable.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/27/08 at 09:37 PM ET
So, what are the chances we see Osgood tonite?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 09:38 PM ET
Holy shit.
Yup. Hariy, smelly, holy shit.
Maybe they’ll start playing now that it’s an exciting game.

+1

Put the little old lady behind Babcock in the friggin’ net. Couldn’t be MUCH worse.
Posted by The Hurricane on 12/27/08 at 09:39 PM ET
This team is broken. Lidstrom is the only reliable defenseman, Holmstrom is a klutz, Datsyuk makes too many fancy moves, Zetterberg can’t score this year, Franzen doesn’t look like he’s trying lately, Draper just flat out sucks
blah blah blah whatever I’m sick of it call me when this team is playing the way it did last year
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/27/08 at 09:40 PM ET
Jeff from Loveland is there tonight too with a child if I remember correctly.
I bet the kid is plugging his ears now saying “Daddy is scaring me”
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 09:40 PM ET
Uncle Mike broke up the Wonka line. Zetterberg, Hossa and Cleary have been out there consistently tonite.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 09:45 PM ET
I don’t wanna hear the same day travel excuse. Pull on your big boy pants
This @#*$& team is clearly not ready to play to start ANY game yet this year. Period. Even the 6-0 rippin of San Jose, we STUNK the first 10 minutes or so.
There is no excuse you can make for this kind of repetitive performance from this team this year.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 09:46 PM ET
I don’t usually pick fights on the intertubes but seriously Tyler, that was a hugely douchey thing to say.
Posted by Osrt on 12/27/08 at 09:46 PM ET
McNonuts on Altitude: “It wasn’t the power play. It was the work that drew the power play.”
Right.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 09:47 PM ET
If this shitty ass Dive team can pants us 3 zip in a period, what the hell are the Hawks going to do to us?
Gary. Ass. Is salivating.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 09:48 PM ET
This team is broken.
*#$%@& that, Tyler. This team flew in today and we just found out that they’re not playing the Dive tonight, they’re playing the refs. I’ll still take our D over any in the league, and that goes double for the offense. I hate the way they’re playing, but I’ll be right here watching anyway.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/27/08 at 09:49 PM ET
“It wasn’t the power play. It was the work that drew the power play.”
Right.
The work of Gary. Ass. And his minions in stripes.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 09:49 PM ET
It was the bs penalties that shouldn’t have been called. The only sort of legitimate call was the hold by Chelios.
Sigh
Posted by halomasterd4n on 12/27/08 at 09:49 PM ET
Or...what Osrt said. 
Oh jesus *#$%@& christ. Ignorant skank on Altitude couldn’t pronounce “Sawchuck”.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/27/08 at 09:50 PM ET
We’ll wake up...we always do. We’re letting them take a few minutes to get all mushy as they drool all over the effigy of Patrick Roy in their AssCan homo-hut so we can drill them like Phaneuf does Elisha Cuthbert.
Prepare for THE sloppy second (period), Bitches. Wrap that rascal, it’s about to get messy!!!

Anyone know how to fix the NFS Undercover freezing issue on Xbox 360? It’s going to be very hard for me to avoid this clusterfuck if I can’t go street racing in a fake version of Miami.

I don’t know about that Clark. But I’ve been pinned down by some bastard Germans in France on Call of Duty 3 for about three hours now and I’m starting to get pissed.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 10:02 PM ET
WTF was that Kronwall call… and OBTW the Kopy call, what you can’t bump shoulders anymore? F Me!
Also you notice how better the other teams’ defensive structure is? Nashville and tonight Avs there’s always 3 D back at least and we can’t get inside.

I hate the way they’re playing, but I’ll be right here watching anyway.
The few, the proud, the 19.
Rum, it’s not just for breakfast anymore.

Find grenades and smoke and throw like Hell.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 12/27/08 at 10:04 PM ET
Call of Duty 3
That game gives me headaches.
But I love the killing and stalking the shcmucks.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/27/08 at 10:05 PM ET
Anybody else’s high quality Altitude feed screwing up?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/27/08 at 10:06 PM ET
Altifreakingtude is fine here, or as good as can be given the score.

CoD 5...I spend a lot of time laying on the beach, my face buried in the sand with people screaming at me....it’s like summertime all over again. Okay, the bullets are something of a change.
Posted by Rumbear from the den.... on 12/27/08 at 10:09 PM ET
Man can’t catch a bounce!
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 12/27/08 at 10:09 PM ET
if by screwing up, you mean saying “people will rarely say a Wings shot missed the net”, then yes. These guys don’t know about Sammy.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/27/08 at 10:09 PM ET
CLANG again and again.
Freaking a. Another one of these nights.

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
