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.

Anaheim needs to find their happy place. Too bad Disneyland sucks.

Ah. I may have spoken too soon.....
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/15/09 at 12:10 AM ET
As Ken Daniels just noted, the Wings were owed that one.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 01/15/09 at 12:10 AM ET
Must be an Avon call from that game earlier this year. I’ll take it.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/15/09 at 12:11 AM ET
VooX, Cleary cant move. No trade clause till the last year or so of his contract.
Franzen is the only one alowed to make highstick goals. i like it.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/15/09 at 12:11 AM ET
Way to go VooX, now talk about trading Zetterberg and maybe he will score.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 01/15/09 at 12:12 AM ET
What’s left? 9? Chances the Wings hold this lead?
Slim.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/15/09 at 12:12 AM ET
woooooo goal stand. and giggy is left whining and shaking his head. mule-tiful
Posted by ckittle from Durham, New Hampshire on 01/15/09 at 12:12 AM ET
Ref: Was it a high stick?
Toronto War Room: Who cares? *#$%@& the Ducks.
Ref: Agreed.

What the heck we’re scoring goals
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 01/15/09 at 12:12 AM ET
Gary. Ass. Must have been preoccupied as to not have gotten the call.
Every damn goal that lovely bastard the Mule scores makes this whole Hossa-Z-Mule thing so much more “interesting”.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/15/09 at 12:13 AM ET
9:00 minutes left. I’m still nervous.
Posted by WingsFanInBeanLand from Earth. on 01/15/09 at 12:13 AM ET
mule-tiful
Don’t let those Versus tools from Monday hear that one.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 01/15/09 at 12:13 AM ET

Even strength ones at that Tyler
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/15/09 at 12:13 AM ET
This just means that we’re looking at a 5-on-3 for the Ducks before it’s said and done.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/15/09 at 12:13 AM ET
We have to keep taking it to them. DO not give them anything to go on! I do not want to see another 5-4 ot game, losing to a very inferior team!

I can take request for those in hockey pools.

Razorific. Mastadonic even.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/15/09 at 12:15 AM ET
getzlaf just missed a pass that could have been a ducks goal. i bet dats would have completed it on his backhand, with his eyes closed while sasquatch was throwing an elbow in his back
Posted by ckittle from Durham, New Hampshire on 01/15/09 at 12:15 AM ET
So before the Wings decided to score two, Ken said something about Meech back on D in place of Lebda with Lilja. Is Lebda hurt?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/15/09 at 12:17 AM ET
Looks like Lebda is at the end of the bench by Conks. Probably figured Meech is playing better.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/15/09 at 12:18 AM ET
Homer looked confused behind the net.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/15/09 at 12:19 AM ET
best save I’ve seen from Osgood in a long, loooong time!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 01/15/09 at 12:19 AM ET
Has there been any talk about bad ice? Something doesn’t seem right in the Poultry’s end.
Posted by The Hurricane on 01/15/09 at 12:20 AM ET
nice save ozzie. of course, leave it to him to turn an easy high glove save into a shoulder deflection to nerve wracking mess in the crease
Posted by ckittle from Durham, New Hampshire on 01/15/09 at 12:20 AM ET
Datsyuk’s dekes are hanging the Niedermeyer (Hardly) Boys out to dry causing their jocks to be strewn around the arena like mama Niedermeyer is doing laundry in the stands.
Osgood checks in to the game with 5:00 minutes left in the third to make a great save. Better late than never to get a good goalie in between the pipes, unless it’s May then it’s too late.

Maltby’s salary: $883,333
Shanny signed today for $800,000.00, 1 yr.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 01/15/09 at 12:21 AM ET
Look at that emotion from Franzen. I’ll send it to Minnesota.

Came close to mentioning that in my Maltby post Gramps. But I’d already used like three statistics and was dizzy.

NJ right?

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

And as I post my opinion he is a moveable asset, Charlie Buckets ties the game to shut me up… momentarily.
