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.

My sis is blonde with a red Zatta hat on.. just sayin.
Isn’t this the time RWBill usually chimes in?

Patrick Kane just reminded me the Hawks didn’t make the playoffs last year. That just makes me warm.

We are lucky to still be in this game! we are not playing that bad it’s just the Sharks are playing that good! Dishing it out to us like we usually do to the opponent!

Been to Ireland twice.... beer n whiskey without the window dressing here…
I was waiting for that Chief. He’s been quiet lately

Well, an NASN ad showcasing the Wings...about freakin’ time.
And apparently not only have they outshot us, they’ve dominated in the faceoff circle and in the physicality department (well duh) as well. Regroup and pull it together, or this is going to be a long game…

Did plenty of that too, MO. Just got made the hot toddies…
HOSSA!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:31 PM ET
Hossome bitches.
SIGN HIM KENNY. TICK TOCK BITCH.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/30/08 at 11:31 PM ET
MARSSS!!!!

Maybe Hoss’s performance is making Z seem more lonely than I’m really seeing?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:33 PM ET
Right in the first minute, too. Maybe we really should find a way to keep the band together.
...As I was sayin’. Got made hot toddies by kindly old ladies when I was ill, and I was feeling under the weather last night, so fixed myself one before toddling off to bed.
Despite fhe flow of play, we have a one-goal lead. Nice.
And Lilja plays Grier well! Good signs.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:33 PM ET
Wow ! Bitches, what I’ve been saying 3 times this week, Hossa has a vicious hard quick release wrister. This guy makes something from nothing. We cannot let this guy go.
Posted by RWBill from Back aboard the Hasek. on 10/30/08 at 11:34 PM ET
Yeah, I’m sold. Hossa is a higher priority than Franzen.

Almost sidebar material… but not quite.....LOLOL

RWBill: read comments above until you find something interesting. I’m betting it won’t take long.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/30/08 at 11:35 PM ET
Hoss must stay. All “costs”. Just do it as early as he’ll agree to terms.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:35 PM ET
And Lukowich is out. Nice hit Drapes.
Wow. Who snatched the Blues in Wings uniforms from the first period and replaced them with the REAL Red Wings?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:36 PM ET
Yeah, I’m sold. Hossa is a higher priority than Franzen.
Alright...let’s play GM for a sec. Take your pick...Hossa & Franzen, or Zetterberg?
Our priority is Z. Everything else is gravy.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/30/08 at 11:36 PM ET
She’s got fake boobs too RWBill. Not huge… but just sayin
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:37 PM ET
Kopy is bangin again tonite. I think he likes the Grifs line.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/30/08 at 11:38 PM ET
Mo...you’re a cruel man.
My priorities? Zetterberg and Hossa.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/30/08 at 11:38 PM ET
No I won’t post a pic either
Don’t blame you. Most of my buddies - guys I grew up with - wouldn’t agree to travel more than 2 hours for my wedding unless they had a guarantee that my sister was going to be in attendance.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/30/08 at 11:38 PM ET
someone has had a talk with Kopecky because he has really has improved and woke up with his physical game.

What? But they’re so perfect for her! Ohhh, now I get it.
Posted by RWBill from Back aboard the Hasek. on 10/30/08 at 11:39 PM ET
Nate, I’m starting to lean that way too...scary. I can’t help but think maybe we’ve made Franzen look good. Even better, I think Hossa would be far easier to re-sign than The Mule.
And speaking of re-signings, Pistons extended Maxiell for four years...I’m not sure that was such a good idea.
First Led Zep, now AC/DC...who kidnapped the DJ at the Shark Tank and replaced him with someone with good taste?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:39 PM ET
First Led Zep, now AC/DC
Kings came out to “Hell’s Bells” at Staples on Monday to start the second. Pretty cool.

Bitches, you know me too well. After the kids are in bed and the midnight hour creeps around like the naked guy under a trenchcoat, here I come to the A2Y on queue.
Posted by RWBill from Back aboard the Hasek. on 10/30/08 at 11:41 PM ET
MO, there’s something distinctly unhealthy about you talking about your own sister’s large breasts. Was that strictly necessary?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:41 PM ET
Gabe, like she’s cute fairly independant etc… loves the Wings, knows football… but has a nard time finding a man in San Fran… go figure?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:41 PM ET
When Hossa gets us a ring he will fulfill expectations!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 10/30/08 at 11:42 PM ET
Okay, maybe we had no chance to defend against that...,yuck.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:43 PM ET
Wings averaging 7 power plays against?? Yeeesh.
Here’s another nugget...Holmstrom: 0 PIM
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago, on the poop deck, not over it yet on 10/30/08 at 11:44 PM ET
Boyle pinches in a lot. We need to take advantage of that.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/30/08 at 11:45 PM ET
Grind line visible or transparent..... a glimpse? Please?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/30/08 at 11:45 PM ET
All the good will generated by ACDC and Zep just got eliminated. Jonas Brothers at the Shark Tank. You’ll be reading about that in the future. I promise.

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
MO, sometimes I’d give my left arm for a good cold glass of fresh Michigan cider and hot doughnuts from the mill in Dexter, but I’d never really heard of a hot toddy until I lived in Ireland. There it’s camomile tea, cloves, lemon juice, honey, and whiskey. Different ingredients, same concept.
