Expanding Horizons For An O-6 Live Blog

Some of you felt I was shortchanging our Motown heritage by not including some traditional acts of the 60’s and 70’s. I listened to you and caved, as usual.
I’ve excluded Grand Funk, the winners of the last home Live Blog and I took out Lightfoot because I discovered last week that he’s actually Canadia(e)n. We just can’t have that.

Pick a good one kids. I need good mojo for going to the Joe. Btw… we have Olympia Room passes too. I’m hoping to try to get some autographs after the game. See you bitches later!

Oooh The Stooges! I vote for the Stooges.

you bitches enjoy the hockey game. i’m traveling tonight.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 11/26/08 at 04:05 PM ET
Oooh The Stooges! I vote for the Stooges.
I would’ve too. Not that Marvin Gaye (or Smokey, or the Nuge) is a bad second choice…

I said that last polling and nobody else was a deer slayer amongst us that evening.
So I’ll say Ted again.

Thanks HockeyJoe, that makes a lot more sense than Chief skipping 20 paygrades. Also thought it might be a reference to THE Captain. Turns out I’m just retarded.
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 11/26/08 at 04:26 PM ET
Definitley gotta have the Stooges in there!!!
Posted by Jockey full of bourbon on 11/26/08 at 04:42 PM ET
Alright. I added the frigging Stooges and gave them 4 votes.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 11/26/08 at 04:55 PM ET
Should I vote for The Stooges or The Stooges?

I’d say the Stooges.

Fine, you pukes. I’ll go with the Nuge as well. I was gonna go for a little known group called the Detroit Cobras but that ain’t on the list. Gotta respect the Nuge.

Sweet, the Stooges! Not that my vote should count anyway, since I’m skipping the live blog tonight to actually see the game in person. Got the tickets from my parents in exchange for agreeing to have Thanksgiving at my place. I hope the game’s worth it.
Posted by Sadie from Ann Arbor, MI on 11/26/08 at 05:15 PM ET
Went with the Nuge, but come on Chief, where’s the White Stripes option?
I actually get to watch this game on TSN tonight. I’ll have to bear with Pierre, diarrhea-of-the-mouth McGuire, but it’ll be worth it so long as we get a victory for Motown.
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 11/26/08 at 05:57 PM ET
Detroit Cobras
I’ll see your Detroit Cobras with a Gories and raise you a Dirtbombs.
Are the White Stripes even a band anymore?
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 11/26/08 at 06:21 PM ET
As far as I know mudshark.
And this is the same alex from canada. I just finally registered for KK, because I was tired of only having a puck for an avatar.

Anyone remember frickin’ Halloween? Yeah, the band Halloween.
The guitar player for Creed is also from Detroit.

Happy Thanksgiving Bitches!!
Bring on the Wango Tango!!
I’m jealous Jen, have lots of fun. I’ll be in Big “D” on the 12th. I’ll try to think of some imaginative sign to take to the game!!
I’ll try to check in later in the game—family stuff tonight.

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
