Hide The Kids…It’s The Unibomber and Satan’s Daughter At The Door

Note:  If you’re DVR’ing this game to watch later?  Let me save you some time.  Delete that bitch RFN.

We’ve got a spastic kid finally playing, a sociopath on the top line, two grinders sitting and a bunch of Wing fans talking about shaving their frigging heads for like six hours this afternoon.

There ain’t no use in crying, which leaves only one recourse when our Tuesday total drops to 32.

Good god.  Let’s Live Blog.

All that left me scratching my head. Of course, I have psoriasis.

Uh...go Wings?

Evenin’ 19, Chief.

I have to concur on Bertuzzi, I did a couple doubletakes last game just to make sure it was him. Nothing spectacular, but glimpses of what he might be able to do, and certainly his best game wearing the Winged Wheel.

Cannot wait to see Helm on the ice tonight; hopefully Eaves can put together a good game.

Hank finally scores. Datsyuk breaks someone’s ankle. Helm passes Stuart’s 16 hits in his first shift. Miller makes 42 saves. Wings win 2-1. This one will make us sweat.

I’ll have to catch it on the replay - scheduling conflict.

But I still don’t like the Unibomber, he still seems like an ineffective floater (for the most part) who skated right past someone and let Dan Cleary hit him instead.

Of course, I’m biased, so it will take a hell of a lot more than backchecking once in a while to give me any positive feelings whatsoever.

Evening, bitches.  Taz + Tuzzi is the Tazmanian Devil line automatically.

And did you guys catch Ovechkin trash talking Dangle-Dangle this week?  I am sure glad Dangle shut him up.  Now if someone would let me know how to shut up Pens fans.

Hi all. As we get into the season the feeling is coming back. I have to say I’ve been numb since June.
As far as Bert goes, he hasn’t really looked that bad. That’s not to say he’s looked good, because anytime you’re part of the circus you are going to score eventually.

Unless you are wearing #13. Man he has been snake bit for so long I would think he is due for a friggin hat trick tonight. Bitches.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

I asked what Pavel Datsyuk brought to the table as a player. Ovechkin’s answer?

“He’s won a Lady Bing trophy a lot,” Ovechkin said. “So, probably ladies love him.”

That’s it?

“Yeah.”

Thanks, Alex. Not usable for the magazine, but pretty funny.

PM me if you need a feed.

A deft touch with fingers and tongue is definitely a powerful weapon.  I’ve had a couple of girls faint on me while taking care of them.  I definitely consider that a compliment.

I’m glad there’s serious competition to replace me as the degenerate dirty old man.

We’ve got a DC trip in January I think, possibly a weeknight.  I don’t know if tickets have gone on sale yet.  I was so sick that day I could hardly breath, or maybe that was the sight of Chief’s lady.  OK!  Enough reclaiming the degenerate of The Group!

I was going to look up A3’s cell phone number and Skype-Cell him.  I’ve still got $9.81 of Skype credit b/c my computer hard drive crashed over there.

I didn’t mention I said hello to Ken Daniels at The Globe coming out of the cafeteria section back to the booth.... I don’t know who’s shorter, Ken Daniels or AndrewAnnArbor.  Seriously, Daniels is short, but there’s no mistaking that hair.

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
