Heard This One Before? Datsyuk’s Got A “Minor” Injury

And how, you’re wondering, did it occur? Ready. Set. Vomit.
In addition to contributing two goals and one assist in Tuesday’s 5-4 victory at Vancouver, Datsyuk also prevented the Canucks from scoring.
“I have blocked shot,” he said today. “I’m surprised myself, too. Today, it’s hard to put on skates.”
According to people who lie professionally, AKA the Red Wing coaches and trainers, Datsyuk is, umm, good to go. Kinda like last year’s Finals, I guess.
Oh, and Jimmah’s starting tomorrow. Maltby and Home Keys will be healthy scratches.
And...speaking of the Finals? Uncle Mike’s got some humor for you. Gather the kids because this is just plain funny.
“I told you that last year in the playoffs, when he got a shot in the foot, too, and it ended up being a hole in his thigh, so you can’t trust me one bit,’’ Babcock joked. “No, he got a shot in the foot and he should go. He just was sore today and it wasn’t going to be comfortable getting his skate on.’’
Ha ha. Mothefu**er’s got jokes.

Happy Birthday, Guilherme!
Oilers haven’t scored a goal in their last two games.... They looked awful against the Dive the other night.

Noo! Don’t say such things! I’m even using non-ironic exclamation to show my regret!

Hector, get your fuching ingorant ass to Arlington National Cemetery. Spend the day there walking around. Listen to the families of the newly dead sobbing at the loss of their loved ones...and so on.
Great post! Where are serving, Iraq or Afghanistan?

Where are serving
What are things that Alexcutter says at thanksgiving dinner between fits of drooling?

Thanks, Alex. I am not serving, but unlike hector and lilja4mvp, I appreciate the hard work and sacrifice that our men and women in uniform make to protect us.

Posted by alexcutter on 10/29/09 at 01:25 PM ET
You see alex, only a true dumbass like yourself would ask that question. As if serving in the military somewhere other than Iraq or Afganistan has anything to do with anything. But heh, keep up the good work alex, I always enjoy posters like you who prove their ignorance without me having to ask.

In an attempt to lighten the mood, let’s keep this running joke going…
“Bimbos make me want to pretend to be a Zetter-man"--Neil Patrick Harris as Barney on “How I Met Your Mother”
...and yes, the fact that I found a pic of NPH with a troll was a wonderful surprise, given today’s comments.

Now, back to our regularly scheduled program.
Over on the main KK page, Paul links a Scott Burnside interview with Tick Tock:
Last season, the Wings scored a league-high 295 goals. For purposes of comparison, the league’s best regular-season team, San Jose, scored 38 fewer goals. If the Wings played 45 minutes of good hockey on most nights, it was good enough to win.
“We could outplay our mistakes,” Holland explained.
But with the departure of lineup regulars Marian Hossa, Mikael Samuelsson, Jiri Hudler, Chris Chelios and Tomas Kopecky, and the early loss of Johan Franzen to a left knee injury that required surgery, the Wings don’t have that luxury every night. When they play 45 minutes instead of 60 now, it usually costs them a point, maybe two, as their 4-4-2 record suggests.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 19 on 10/29/09 at 02:32 PM ET
I just wish the Wings had Dany Heatley. He’s going to score 70 goals, dontchaknow?
*thump*
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 10/29/09 at 02:56 PM ET
Happy Birthday, Guilherme.
Did the lilja guy really say “duder? Jesus.
Alex and Hector: nice effort. I’m sorry you weren’t received well.

Anyone besides Williams remember this guy:....?
The Anaheim Ducks yesterday added veteran depth to their forward lines on Wednesday, signing former LA Kings winger Kyle Calder to a two-way contract.
Calder was immediately sent to the Ducks ECHL affiliate in Bakersfield but already there’s speculation he might be brought up in a couple of weeks which could result in a current Ducks forward losing his spot.
It remains to be seen how much help Calder can be to a struggling Ducks team. A former two-time 20-goal, 50-point performer with the Chicago Blackhawks earlier in the decade Calder’s offensive game has been in decline since the 2005-06 season.
In 2008-09 Calder had only 8 goals and 27 points with the LA Kings and became an unrestricted free agent this past summer.

Dats in tonight ...according to Helene St.James
With Datsyuk available, the top three lines are expected to stay the same:
Datsyuk-Zetterberg-Holmstrom
Bertuzzi-Filppula-Cleary
Leino-Draper-Williams
And then the fourth line will be Helm with May and Eaves. Jimmy Howard is starting in net.
As much as I dislike tinkering with a line-up after a win.....
Kinda relieved that Helm replaces Gator.

Timmay!

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:

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
Oh, and Happy Birthday, Guilherme.
