...you put the Duck’s head on a block of wood. Hold it down and flick the beak for a few minutes, just to torture it. Do Ducks even have beaks? Is that how “beak” is spelled?
Then you chop it off. The whole thing. The head and the beak, beek.
This game is very important. The most important regular season game of the month so far.
So I thought we’d drink a little, and have ourselves a Live Blog.

It’s kinda terrifying.
What if fatigue is a big factor? I know they’re athletes in top physical condition, but at the same time I don’t know just how hard on their bodies the last year has been. And, hypothetically speaking, if we win the Cup again this year, imagine the hangover in 09-10…
Hockey is insane.
Oh well...let’s focus on here and now. And by focus I mean stress.

My son is responsible for giving me this link ATDHE.Net. I think it’s in the Netherlands. I have the Center Ice package but it’s a pretty good back-up.Enjoy. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Thanks Aimee!!

Forgot the Ducks played last night. They’re going to come out of the gate firing. If we can stay calm for the first 10-15 minutes, we should be fine this game.

so i figured out how to hook up my laptop to my tv. this link is pretty clear, so it works out well

Well....crap. As a goalie, that is why I hate watching goaltenders on their knees when the puck is behind the net.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 12/01/08 at 07:41 PM ET
Wow. First game with my fancy dancy new tv and oddly enough LCD technology doesnt make us look any better....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 07:41 PM ET
I might be the bounces, but it doesn’t help when you turn the puck over behind your own net.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 12/01/08 at 07:42 PM ET
Guess what Wings, if they trap tonight. . . the only way to get around it is to freakin skate and go after loose pucks. . . you know like we did last year. That’s why it has been so effective against us lately.

Hence the call out by Uncle Mike today.... who’s the hardest working team......???
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Clem, the bounces seem to go to whichever team is moving their feet more.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/01/08 at 07:45 PM ET
The only teams who shouldn’t trap against us are th teams who think they have equal talent. There are only two of those: San Jose and Anaheim. Oh, and Pittsburgh but they’re stupid.

Where’s Gabe, I need another grumpy bastard (like me) to feed off tonight....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 07:45 PM ET
I couldn’t agree more, J.J. Funny how hard work pays off, eh?
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 12/01/08 at 07:45 PM ET
No reason to worry Wings fans, it shouldn’t take long to exploit Jiggy’s lateral movement. I just wonder if Pronger will take a cheapshot soon.

I’m here. I’ve typed in a dozen posts and deleted them all...I can’t decide whether I’m more disgusted or just completely unsurprised.

As predictable as a bank needing a bailout!

Hate to say it but I’m almost finding humor at the avatar Gabe, just sayin’
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 07:49 PM ET
It’s going to be one of those nights.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/01/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Thats how the night’s going to go right there.... just wide.... whatever… what a stop… double whatever
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Mannnn.......we better score on this power play. How many frigging chances in the last 40 seconds?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/01/08 at 07:51 PM ET
the fact that we didn’t get a goal there pretty much describes our current predicament.
Posted by halomasterd4n on 12/01/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Hank’s flying again tonite
With an anchor of a Sammy on one wing.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 07:55 PM ET
Is that the new nickname for Z’s line? The Missing Man Formation?
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 12/01/08 at 07:56 PM ET
Hearing we have the best power play in the world is getting a wee bit tiresome....like hearing Chelios is the oldest player on earth…
I’m just saying.....
Posted by Rumbear from the den.... on 12/01/08 at 07:56 PM ET
I’m not doubting that Kopecky is working his ass off, but the kid really needs to start receiving passes. He just seems like he’s always a step behind the rest of his teammates on the ice.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/01/08 at 07:58 PM ET

How ‘bout MIA line?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 07:58 PM ET
How ‘bout MIA line?
Nice. I’m going to start referring to him as SamMIA.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 12/01/08 at 08:00 PM ET
What gives with that interference call? I think The Wall should take out the ref.
Posted by Wild Wing from Orange County, CA on 12/01/08 at 08:01 PM ET
Nice PK. A bit scrambled after Osgood’s botched play, but not bad.
Posted by halomasterd4n on 12/01/08 at 08:02 PM ET
I can’t remember a time when I’ve seen a Draper slapshot off the rush that didn’t go straight into the crest. No glove saves, blocker saves, nada. Just Draper flying, the goalie cutting down the angle and rubber into the chest. A thousand times again and again and again.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/01/08 at 08:03 PM ET
Wow, Draper on net TWO times in a whole period.
I don’t think Draper has any problem hitting the net. Or, more accurately, he has no problem at all hitting the goaltender.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/01/08 at 08:03 PM ET
Draper is no Datsyuk but jeez, try something other than a slapshot.
Also Kronwall is sucking ass 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

Well, hopefully this goes more smoothly than the “How to Cook a Bruin” advice you must have given earlier this week.
Have fun tonight. I’ll be catching up on the game later in my own time zone.
