Not that he’s all that disappointed in missing out on the tropical tail end of the west West Coast trip, but Tomas Holmstrom will be missing tonite’s game with Calgary and Monday’s againt Vancouver.
Forward Tomas Holmstrom was sent home to have an MRI done on his ailing back, coach Mike Babcock said.
“We’re going to send him home so we can get an MRI tomorrow,” Babcock said. “So he won’t be on the trip.”
St. James, in her morning report, also pointed out that Tomas Kopecky is politicking a bit to get his second goal from the Edmonton game back where it belongs. Kopecky and a few others claim it grazed his uniform. Pavel Datsyuk, who would stand to lose the goal if it goes to Kopecky, is highly upset.
“Holmstrom or Kopecky,” Datsyuk said, “they’re always, ‘I touch, I touch,’ both. I care not, my friend.”
St. James, of all the Diggers, seems to be the best at relaying Datsyuk’s sense of humor.
Me? I’m a little numb from the UM trouncing. Jesus. Just let football season end so we can all focus on what’s important.
Live Blog tonite? Sure. Although I’m stressing a bit. Verizon promised. I’m serious, they promised me yesterday that the absence of the NHL Network in my home is their fault...and that they’d have it resolved by 2200 EST. As of now? No resolution.
So, just in case, anybody with a good feed...post that biotch.
No poll today. I wanted Triumph the other night and it didn’t happen. So it’s out of your hands. Sorry.

Don’t be so selfish Pav. Koppy deserves it!

That UM game was gut-wrenching, and the MSU game is just as bad.
Too bad all the talent in Michigan is split between 2 teams.
UM could have won their game if they just had OSU’s 2nd string quarterback, Boeckman.
RR will do well if he can recruit. It will take years.
Thank heavens we have the Red Wings!

Hey Chief, weren’t you supposed to be in San Diego tonight?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/22/08 at 06:33 PM ET
I was supposed to be there Gabe. Canc’d, maybe postponed. I’ll let you know if it’s gonna happen later this month.

Ah, just as well...the whole family’s sick here. Would be great to catch a game next time you’re in town though.
Mmm...beer and robitussin.

I’m beyond numb. Missed a deer today, first freaking time I’ve done that since I was a damn teenager… I thought I’d grown out of buck fever damnit.

On the brighter side, Bobby Geaser Lou is most likely out as he left in the 1st period last night against the Pens.... so no Kipper n Luongo back to back

Hmmmm.......I’m a green Nyquil and Rum kinda guy myself. Fogs rolling over the point down here.

No poll today… it’s out of your hands. Sorry.
The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.

Thanks for the updates on the last game Gabe.....
Glad I could help! And just paying back the favor from last year’s playoffs.
By the way, anyone looking to pass some time until gametime should tune into the Montreal/Boston game. I haven’t been paying attention to the Eastern Conference and was surprised by how good these teams are.

I was at my brother’s today. Younger than me but a Michigan Fan First. He took it all in stride but, after all he is a Michigan man first and foremost. He didn’t kill anything. Including me. And his loyalty to the Maze and Blue is amazing. That is what he lives for. Ritch Rod really needs to get the message about what Michigan Football is. Yes I do get that he had only one player coming back from last year. But there is the Michigan tradition. Up and above that I am a totally dedicated Detroit Red Wings Fan! I feel for my little brother, but, Oh Well. Shit Happens. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

As a Red Wings fan, I’m rooting for the Canadiens to lose 11-1 tonight. You know, to properly honor Patrick Roy.

Hi. Binky. A message to one of my son’s. Ha Ha Binky!
“ Love Ya!”
Mom
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

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
"Like them or hate them, it's not a good idea to start a battle with "the 19" and the Chief. 'Nuff said."
--Astute reader at Dater's All Things Avs
"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
