...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.

Ha, nice Gabe.
Hell of a spin move by Dats after getting that pass. Just a bit too wide.

I was kinda hoping for more than one goal in the third. But I guess they want to make it exciting again.

I heart Lilja.
Who are you and what have you done with Gabe? lol.

I hear Hiller and I think of John hiller.

I’ve got a bad feeling....
I’m just sayin’.

Would anyone else like to sign my petition that says Ozzie may no longer handle the puck behind the net? He gets himself into more trouble than any other goalie in the league.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 12/01/08 at 09:53 PM ET
Can’t get away with dangerous passes into the middle of the ice high in our own zone… Straighten that up, fellas.

Which makes me think of Steve Kemp.

Can’t help it. He crushed Selanne, which made me all warm and fuzzy.

Mick: “If Detroit is sound defensively, they should be able to put this one to bed.”
Uh huh.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/01/08 at 09:56 PM ET
Put four defensemen on the ice and either Zetterberg or Datsyuk as the lone forward for the next 90 seconds.

ozzzzzzieeeee. let’s go boys. one more minute

Uh huh
He did say for 2 minutes I think.. not like 20 or something. Or even 60.... gaawd forbid

What if 2 of those D-men are Lebda and Lilja? *shudder*
I’d rather stick with some grinders who just play D.

Bon Jovi rockin the Joe....it’s 1986 all over again.
*sigh*

Lidstrom and Rafalski, Stuart and Kronwall.
Posted by SYF from Las Vegas, NV on 12/01/08 at 09:59 PM ET
don’t forget Jason Thompson , rusty staub, or Ricky Peters.
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 12/01/08 at 09:59 PM ET
yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
finally, a complete game victory. nice work all around
Posted by ckittle from Durham, New Hampshire on 12/01/08 at 10:00 PM ET
Now I can breathe easy again until Thursday.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 12/01/08 at 10:00 PM ET
What was that?
Oh.
Sixty minutes of Red Wing hockey. Bitches.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/01/08 at 10:00 PM ET
Wo dominated, DOMINATED that game and come away with a one-goal victory. You know what? I don’t care; I’m going to sleep well after that performance.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/01/08 at 10:01 PM ET
Have they put together a better 60 minutes this year? I think not. Great game.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/01/08 at 10:02 PM ET
Good game, now if they can just be consistent, I will quiet down.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs dont live up to my expectations on 12/01/08 at 10:05 PM ET
I would have felt better with 60 minutes with a 3 goal lead at the end. . . . I mean. . . yeah.
Posted by halomasterd4n on 12/01/08 at 10:19 PM ET
Maybe not as good as the shutout against Edmonton, but a pretty damn good game either way.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/01/08 at 10:51 PM ET
“We have a quality, quality leadership group here,’’ Babcock said. “When I asked them today about (who is) the hardest-working team in the league, if they don’t believe they are, they’ll get that fixed.’’
Sounds like the placeholder did his job. Great win.

I think they figured out earlier in the year their usual cross-ice passes were now getting picked off so they had to stop doing that. problem is, they don’t seem to know what else to do with it after a few years of getting away with the cross-icers.

Dan Cleary was a beast last night.
He was the fastest guy on the ice, always on the puck, and made some great passes, including the game winner assist to Hossa.
Welcome back, Danny Boy!
Posted by w2j2 on 12/02/08 at 09:01 AM ET
AHHH! Finally, 60 minutes of good hockey! Thank you!

Dan Cleary was a beast last night.
Ken and Mick did not give Cleary enough credit for that pass
to Hoss, perfect for the one timer.

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
