Hide Your Eyes Blues Fans….This One’s Gonna Hurt

Michael Rosenberg of Detroit’s Free Press, has a good look at Super Scout Hakan Andersson. Interesting anecdotes, a story that had to be told. A casual Monday morning read. Until you reach a paragraph toward the end. Hell yes.
Andersson was apparently on his way to Russia, waiting on the tarmac.
“And I look at the window and there’s this big ring of fire—flames in the middle, and in the back of it there’s a fan. It was a fan blowing wind through this ring of fire so the hot air would de-ice the plane. It was old-style Russian de-icing.
“So I was scared looking out. And at about 4:30 in the afternoon they said, ‘OK, no flight. Get off the plane. Try again tomorrow if you want.’ But then the game was going to be over, of course.”
Thankfully, Andersson had already seen the prospect. Another scout on the plane, from St. Louis, had not.
And that’s how the Wings got Pavel Datsyuk.
Ahhh. Don’t worry about it Blues fans. I’m sure Datsyuk wouldn’t have helped you.

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.
