...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.

I’d give up my LCD for rabbit ears if we’d play worth a $hit.

Rum,
The game is blacked out for you because you’re in the Duck’s home b-cast area. go to the channel that carries the ducks games, should be playing there.

Good pressure and lots of iron. Just keep pressing.

Like we said Gabe… one of those nights.
Huds couldn’t ring that iron any harder there

Rummy, they want you to tune into the FSW channel. I’m, once again, watching TV with the streaming audio feed in the background.

“Precipitated”...big word from Mick.
Not bad. Not a bad final ten minutes. Good energy. Good chances.

Anyone catch Lilja giving Moen the skunk eye?

Of course he’s the hardest working Red Wing of the Month. You work that much harder having to pick yourself up off the ice after you fall on your ass.

“Where are the WIngs in the all star voting”???
Dude, right now who gives a $hit.
Then again our team D is rather similar to what one sees in an All Star game....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 08:13 PM ET
Biggest goat of that period? Not Stuart, the crowd. How do we put two solid minutes of pressure on them and the people in the stands sound like they’re watching a tennis match with only the occasional “ooh” or “aah”?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/01/08 at 08:13 PM ET
This team puts too much pressure on Kopecky to be physical. The guy isn’t a very good hitter, but he’s making a much bigger impact on a line with players who can actually score.
Not a bad period, but we could be better. They can build on it for the second.

All I have on the satellite is the Center Ice and football package. None of the regular junk.......FSW is not available. I used to call Direct TV last year and bitch a lot and they would patch me thru....I’ll check again
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 12/01/08 at 08:15 PM ET
I also forgot to mention that Meech brings absolutely nothing while he is a forward.
Can’t we get Leino up here?
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/01/08 at 08:16 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.
The ‘Draper rib shot”
I heard a HNIC play by play man accuse a BUF player of taking a ‘Draper shot’ last year.

While bitching will make you feel better… watching this team leaves you far more frustrated once getting the tube hooked up.

“You won’t see another goalie as wide across the chest"--Murph
that’s because Giguire is still the biggest cheater in the league when it comes to pad size...without them, he’s a tier C goalie.

“Oh, and Pittsburgh but they’re stupid.”
You be nice, Chief....

Check this out Tyler. From Red Wings Central today:
The lack of production from forward Ville Leino (Grand Rapids, AHL) is cause for concern. Leino doesn’t have a point in three contests; doesn’t have a goal since Oct. 25; and has just five assists in his past 10 games.

Sounds like he tried to show a little restraint…

WHO THE HELL VOTES FOR RAFFI THIS YEAR?
straight ticket voters.
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 12/01/08 at 08:22 PM ET
You be nice, Chief....
Dammit. Sorry Tony.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/01/08 at 08:23 PM ET
Raffi does lead Red Wings D-Men in points this year. I’m wondering how Ozzie is #2 in goalie voting.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/01/08 at 08:23 PM ET
Howdy bitches, I was just saying the same thing about Draper to the wife. I’ll give him points for energy, but a solid F- for creativity.

That was being nice.

Look, I had OHSA inspectors show up at my business this morning, dealt with opposition attorneys in a lawsuit this afternoon, made the mistake of checking the stock market and watching another years worth of retirement savings vaporized in 4 hours, so I come over here for some friggin’ amusement and a good laugh, and it’s like a goddamn funeral!
Didn’t we lose , ummmmm, TEN games in a row when Lidstrom was out last year? As I recall, we all went home with a happy ending. Sheesh....
Posted by dougie on 12/01/08 at 08:29 PM ET
what’s the deal with Flip this season? he has been very unimpressive.
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 12/01/08 at 08:29 PM ET
Hoss n Pavel each on one side of Z jump over the boards. Why not send the one in the middle over with them for a period… really...?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 08:30 PM ET
another quality shot by Sammy...***gag***
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 12/01/08 at 08:34 PM ET
Score doesn’t indicate, but the Red Wings are really out there playing a heck of a game to this point.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/01/08 at 08:34 PM ET
Ah, that memory warms my soul a tad Mick n Ken.... the hit on Stevie… tearing the ACL for Sasquatch.... better than a hug right there.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/01/08 at 08:35 PM ET
nothing like that cement head going after our wounded captain and ending up injured for the remainder of the playoffs...kharma bitches!
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 12/01/08 at 08:37 PM ET
I’d at least like to know that the fans who gave that stick back at least tried to break it first.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/01/08 at 08:37 PM ET
Sup bitches…
Meech is playing a strong game. We’re hustling at least.
Posted by Osrt on 12/01/08 at 08:38 PM ET

If they actually get rewarded for this play, I’ll be happy. For a few minutes.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/01/08 at 08:38 PM ET
Aww, give Pronger a break, the guy must spend a fortune on gloves; what, with his knuckles always dragging everywhere.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/01/08 at 08:38 PM ET
Datsyuk nearly had a breakaway, didn’t try a shot. Franzen pretty much had a breakaway, tried a cute move even though he has one of the best shots in the league.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/01/08 at 08:39 PM ET
Ducks feed just showed a graphic of free agents Hossa, Z and Mule with the headline “Red Wings Ready to Fly?” Pricks.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/01/08 at 08:40 PM ET
Alright, let’s do something with this.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 12/01/08 at 08:40 PM ET
did mick just say that pronger has learned NOT to do all of the things that they just showed him doing...this season?!?!
Posted by Animal Drew from A Nightmare on Helm Street on 12/01/08 at 08:40 PM ET
Just deleted about 5 posts here ...trying to be nice...as we need not be patted on the ass playing well with one goal deficit. This is how we need to play with a lead ferchristsakes.

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

That practice makes him the best empty net scorer in the league though.
