I Went To Church Incognito. Why? For The Live Blog.

Oh yes he did. The Chief whipped out a Vincent Furnier lyric for a live blog. That, in itself, should indicate just how important I (back to the first person, thanks) feel tonite’s game is.
Why is it important?
Because I have to invent reasons to stay up for the late, late games.
Don’t know Vince? Oh alright. Alice Cooper. And he’s from Hockeytown bitches.
It’s a Live Blog and your objectivity, tact and mild manners are more than welcome.
A couple of insider notes from Mike Chen at Battle of California:
-Joe Thornton’s groin injury seems more obvious with each game. He simply doesn’t use his legs or lower body to protect the puck the way that he normally does, and assuming he didn’t just revert into a craptacular player over the off-season, I’m assuming this is the lingering effects of his injury.
-For all you King fans...um...well, I see what you were complaining about with Rob Blake.

Whoever said saying “First” is gay, obviously doesn’t hunt for virgin bitches.

Osrt, what you doin here? I thought you were gonna be crashin’ the crease tonite?
Good to have you along anyway, even if there were better things to do.

Better things to do… gawd… I’m still moving mu second fish tank for the second time in about 24 hours. Gettin’ kinda sick of this moving stuff. But almost DONE.
Almost game time. Let’s roll Bitches.
How’s about a 60 minute campaign?

She’s with a girlfriend who is going through a major personal crisis. Big hearted person.

That was me Osrt… and I don’t hunt for virgins either… unless I know they are worth being a long-term relationship they take too long to train (and I am not being derogatory or misogynistic). Young girls have a lot misconceptions and psychological barriers to fully enjoying sex… so unless I am in for the long run, I’d rather find a woman more in touch with herself and her body.
Hey, this is a hockey blog bitches… let’s keep our heads up and our sticks on the ice!
Anyone know the lines tonight?

Man. Sounds a lot like me when I was a young Sailor stationed in the Philippines.
Oh wait. No it doesn’t.

George says Conk gets the start. Other than that, prolly same as last nite.

Right. Turn in your penis.

During pre-game they showed that Datsyuk’s first goal scored in the NHL was against the canes. They interviewed him about it and commented on how he scored it and Ketting asked him where the goal is now and in his normal humor Pavel said he sold it for $3.50, lol, nope it is really in his basement. thought is was classic Dats humor.
I am here, no crashing or moving anything for me, no vicodin high either, I’m sorta back to as normal as I get aside from the boo boo ankle.
lets go wings!!! a solid tough effort!!!!!
Anyone catch the prospect camp special Under the Lights? It was cool!

Oh my too funny!! i will just listen , laugh and not comment.lol

Anyone else creeped out by the soft-light closeup of Murph?

Hey Chief, I’ve done some sailing for work but the cruise ship variety… more prime targets among the staff and the passengers. Working as the audio guy in the production shows meant many of the sexy female dancers and singers were my best friends in more ways than one.
And for the record, when younger I was far less concerned about the things I look for in women now… I have had a lot of fun already in my life so I now prefer quality over quantity, unless we’re talking about simultaneous quantity.
Chief, I am glad you found some nubile Filipino women to keep you comapany, some are not so lucky. From what I’ve heard, if you find an “18 year old virgin girl” in the Phillipines while on shore leave, she usually has a pimp or a penis.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/30/08 at 09:35 PM ET
Right. Turn in your penis.
LOL.
Long haul Voox? This is what disposable cell phones are for.
Yeah right. I have no heart to be ball out like that. Maybe I need to visit the Islands
Posted by Osrt on 10/30/08 at 09:36 PM ET
Right. Turn in your penis.
I have plenty to spare, you need me to give you a couple of inches? 
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/30/08 at 09:37 PM ET

This isn’t a Denver board, VooX. But thanks.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/30/08 at 09:38 PM ET
Damn, there goes the game feed as a movie is loaded by my brother… talk to you all tomorrow. 1:30 am gametime for me off PVR.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/30/08 at 09:39 PM ET
I’ll break you off some Gabe, I don’t go where the good Lord didn’t intend me to go, so don’t get your hopes up.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/30/08 at 09:40 PM ET
‘First’ is SOOOO Pensblog…
It’s CinciNasty football while I wait for the game to come on the air-- I woke up at 3:30 AM for this? Oh, they’ll pay.
And did I ever mention that I’ll miss screaming ‘MUUUUUUULE!’?
From what I’ve seen of Blake (hasn’t been much) he’s been pretty decent. Fish fans have been spoiled with good blueliners in recent years.
Time to show ‘em their sh*t still stinks…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 09:40 PM ET
What the hell is this?!
I go to the gamecenter on nhl.com, the main game they’re advertising as free is the Wings/Sharks, and I only get audio?!
Flagarant false advertising!

Nuff of that.
It’s whipped out.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 09:42 PM ET
San Jose announcers say Sharks are nervous. I’m just waiting for the “too much respect” line that’s sure to follow soon.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/30/08 at 09:43 PM ET
Later Gabe, Chief and the A2Y 19! So far it is quite with just a few of us addicted to methamphetamines. I’ll quit next season, I promise, or whenever we’re back in the Eastern Conference.
What are the lines before I close the page??
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/30/08 at 09:43 PM ET
quiet not quite… d’oh
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/30/08 at 09:44 PM ET
I’ll break you off some Gabe,
Insert ‘stick of rock’ comment here.
On second thought, maybe I shouldn’t be inserting anything.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 09:44 PM ET
yeah, i’m not getting the NHL feed of that game either. A couple others work just fine. But i’m here for ya all.
http://atdhe.net/live-tv-16.html
There’s your game.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/30/08 at 09:44 PM ET
What a save!
They’re head hunting our guys. Lots of gloves up
Posted by Osrt on 10/30/08 at 09:45 PM ET
Same as Wednesday Voox. No change that I can see yet.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/30/08 at 09:45 PM ET
D is a little sloppy, but they’re collapsing and clearing pretty well.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/30/08 at 09:47 PM ET
I am making a list of all the red Wing winter classic items I want, jersey, Z t-shirt and hat. now who wants to buy tem for me?hehe!
A few nice saves thus. Could really do without the turnovers and i am sure conks thinks so too.
So what is the benefit of having mac again? to protect our superstars and thus end up getting macs but beat like last night. taking one on the nose for the team!
Clear the puck please!!! A strong third for a change and hopefully fatigue doesn’t caught up with them!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 10/30/08 at 09:47 PM ET
Nate, thank you thank you!! I don’t know where you find these feeds, but i’m glad you do!
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 10/30/08 at 09:47 PM ET
Fer crap’s sake, the game has started. Any time they want to switch over from these overfed Cincy kids would be fine with me. After all, the listings DO say that this is supposed to be the HOCKEY GAME…
False advertising. Don’t make me switch over to the Lithuanian women’s honey wrestling…
Oh well. Least the Dive are trailing the BJs, of all teams.

Nervous? Remenada is a DC junior.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 09:53 PM ET
I don’t know why but Todd MClellen doesn’t look like an NHL coach.
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 10/30/08 at 09:54 PM ET
Earth to friggin’ NASN...the football game is over. Time to switch to a hockey game ALREADY IN-PROGRESS. I don’t need to see them interview the Cincy coash while he gets his ass patted by his players.
Now a commercial for Pardon the Interruption. I don’t want that blowhard Kornheiser-- I just want my game!
I don’t have the bandwidth to keep up with an internet video feed either. Man.
I’m sure The Chief appreciates me coming on the liveblog to bellyache.
Aaaaand...Finally! Only took ‘em HALF THE FREAKIN’ PERIOD…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 09:57 PM ET
our left d men are getting beat quite a bit thus far!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 10/30/08 at 09:58 PM ET
Wings are going to be outshot this game. Conklin’s going to have to be real good.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/30/08 at 09:58 PM ET
They’ve just praised Michalek for backchecking, meanwhile our team defense has disappeared. Did it move out west?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 09:59 PM ET
We look pretty sloppy tonight. The Sharks do too though. Why do I get the feeling that this game is gonna be one of those “every goal is a deflection off a skate” games?
And come on Babs, give Z some talent to play with, not mile-wide and blurry vision.
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 10/30/08 at 09:59 PM ET
Conklin’s going to have to be real good.
Has been so far...but there’s going to be nothing left in most of this team by the 3rd.

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

I think that’s an appropriate theme for tonite. Here’s hoping NHL.com doesn’t *#$%@& up and lets me watch my game.
