Hugely important evening in our world.
The gutters have been overflowing the last few weeks with your obscenity and grade-school humor. How could a family-oriented, well-intentioned, mild-mannered hockey blog turn into something so immature, so reeking of juvenistickidness?
I just don’t know.
Tonite, you begin the process of electing your champion. Watch the remarks closely, stay awake, don’t pass out drooling on your keyboard (Osrt)...and make your recommendations along the way for the five comments we’ll vote on tomorrow.
It’s a Live Blog bitches. A big, fat, west coast live blog.

Did anyone else catch that banter?
I wasn’t going to say anything because I was actually enjoying not hearing Murph guffaw with useless quips much in that period, but I sense a little tension between he and Ken?
Maybe Ken hid his fifth from him?

I think Oz regressed to his peewee days on that last goal.
I could see him thinking ‘next game I am gonna play Defense’.

Getzlack looks like his helmet is about 4 sizes too small

I tried that once. Didn’t fool my wife for a second!

Who was that dude Pav was playing around with in practice? He made him look beer-league-esque.
Best hands in the game. I’ll second that.

2 PPG for Ottawa over Atlanta 3-2.
Speaking of Atlanta, anyone else notice Justin Williams will be playing for Hitchcock when he isn’t injured.

was that Larry Murphy trying to get the puck from Datsyuk?
that video illustrates one thing a lot of people miss about pro sports - how much better they really are than us. sure, against players of their own caliber it can look not so impressive...but throw a regular person out there and it becomes clear.
I used to like that Pros vs Joes show - the best was when they put them in the octagon with Randy Couture.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 01/14/09 at 10:54 PM ET
HTT, wrong Williams. Justin is in Carolina. Former Wing Jason, was with Atlanta.
I really don’t understand that trade. Not that the BJs gave anything up (go figure), but they really need a centerman.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/14/09 at 10:57 PM ET
Hawks over Sabres, 4-1. Hawks controlled the majority of the game. Lalime in net. The 2nd goal he gave up was horrid.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/14/09 at 10:58 PM ET
Do the poultry have any fans or just a bunch of dumb $#%@! and thier kids who saw one of the ficticous Mighty Ducks movies and thought hockey was cool...and btw F the Hawks!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 01/14/09 at 11:00 PM ET
Nate, I just got the first names mixed up....I have 2 nephews named Justin...simple mistake. If it was the other Williams I wouldn’t have even mentioned it.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 01/14/09 at 11:01 PM ET
Damn it. Big scramble. How doesn’t one of those go in??
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/14/09 at 11:02 PM ET
Apparently Cleary offered Pronger some beef jerky there, only to take it away from him.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 01/14/09 at 11:02 PM ET
hahahahahahah even his own fans are booing the sasquatch!!!!! what a moron and dirty ass hole!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 01/14/09 at 11:02 PM ET
we should be on a 5-on-3. a Wing got blatantly tripped in front of the Ducks’ net and...no call.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 01/14/09 at 11:03 PM ET
Sasquatch in the sin bin?
Gary didn’t arrange that for tonight against the Wings, hence the warning to Homer
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/14/09 at 11:03 PM ET
Fashionably late but present and accounted for.
I see Pronger just got sent to his thinking chair again.
Posted by aaron from phoenix on 01/14/09 at 11:03 PM ET
Almost a Datsyuk goal for the ages. That could have been his best ever.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/14/09 at 11:03 PM ET
HA HA HA HA HA Thattaboy Z. nice counter on neidermeijer or however you spell its attempted run.
Posted by CRoy from Redford MI on 01/14/09 at 11:04 PM ET
I’m convinced Datsyuk’s hands arms are made of rubber. It’s the only way they move like that.
HAPPY!
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/14/09 at 11:04 PM ET
Evening bitches, and happy birthday eyesris.
Been very busy lately, but is great catching up on all you bitches. And Chief, if you think any contest will lead me to contribute anything of value, you don’t know me very well.
I hate the *ucks.
And Oompa Loompa lowers the stress level around here to just below nuclear.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 01/14/09 at 11:04 PM ET
Eat that slugworth you thieving son of a bitch. Oompa Loompa.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/14/09 at 11:04 PM ET
yesssss!!!! wow! what a sho! that was friggin awesome! Oompa Loompa!!!!!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 01/14/09 at 11:04 PM ET
Hudler just bend Jiggy over backwards. One-on-one, Giguere squared up, Huds still beats him.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 01/14/09 at 11:04 PM ET
There was a Wings fan with a proper salute after that goal.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 01/14/09 at 11:05 PM ET
Awesome...home crowd boos Sasquaclit as he takes a stupid penalty, and than Happy turns Jiggybear inside out. CLASSIC!
Posted by The Hurricane on 01/14/09 at 11:05 PM ET
Kronner all but backed off contact with Getzlack. Ugh
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/14/09 at 11:06 PM ET
Hudler wound up for that shot when he got out of bed this morning…
Posted by Hap from Grand Rapids, MI on 01/14/09 at 11:06 PM ET
HTT, an easy mixup to make.
BJs would’ve been better off with Justin. Seems he’s still not found his game after his long injury, but at least he’s got genuine scoring talent. As we saw first hand several years ago, Jason has nothing but a slapshot, is slow to accelerate, and cant hold the point on the PP.
Also, good for Hudler. 35 goals anyone?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/14/09 at 11:07 PM ET
Murph: “ the parting of the sea”
no murph thats the parting of the V
Posted by CRoy from Redford MI on 01/14/09 at 11:08 PM ET
Christ. Meech about put it into the rafters.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/14/09 at 11:08 PM ET
This is the first game since the Winter Classic that I haven’t watched off the DVR. Good to be back among all the bitches.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 01/14/09 at 11:08 PM ET
We’re gonna lose someone to injury if the Wings don’t stand up physically. We aren’t gonna take the Ducks out of this game with goals...unless we get more freaky bounces.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 01/14/09 at 11:10 PM ET
Also, good for Hudler. 35 goals anyone?
And 3 million a season next year? Hell, Charlie Buckets got 2.8.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 01/14/09 at 11:10 PM ET
Voox, I’m as happy to see you as I am to see the better half… you figure it out if that’s a compliment or not.
Posted by calquake on 01/14/09 at 11:10 PM ET
ATL traded Williams for basically nothing, makes one think...Damaged goods or maybe Dressing room poison. They have never hesitated to hold onto one-dimensional players.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 01/14/09 at 11:12 PM ET
Damn. Wally’s been practicing with Dats, it would seem. Too bad he couldn’t bury it.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/14/09 at 11:14 PM ET
Filppula almost got his head taken off a couple times on that play and nearly scored. Hopefully that’s a hint of more to come on his new contract.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 01/14/09 at 11:15 PM ET
Giggy, what a pussy. move the puck. what are ya, yella?

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
