The polls are closed. And after 119 votes, I’ll admit it. I recorded the first one this morning and it went to Triumph. “Magic Power” is easily in the IwoCPO top ten. I’m also a big Guess Who fan and I even dig me some Neil Young when the time is right.
I can also tell you this: I’ve never listened to a second of a Tragically Hip song, I don’t think. But peer pressure’s a bitch so I stuck ‘em in there. It came down to the wire between Rush and Young, with a push from Ronnie Van Zant’s pal the last 90 minutes or so. The selected lyric? Well, that just fits.
Oh, and Subdivisions? Not the song we chose, obviously. But to set the record straight..."Conform or be cast out..” followed later by “be cool or be cast out.”
I’m just sayin’.
It’s a 3-man genius of a Provincial Live Blog bitches.
And if you’re without TV? Yahoo’s got it.

Well not only is the food questionable at best, but it takes like 11 bucks to fill me up whenever I’ve been there. That, and I think I could recreate the Arby’s meat with motor oil and some construction paper.

Crapola. Seems like Ozzie hasn’t been able to control the puck very well tonight.

Sammuelson “tried” to clear it....
Fil to the bin. 4 on 3… almost the Gary. Ass. 5 on 3

Sounds like the call from Toronto was heard loud and clear?

Uncle Mike should waive the white flag, Nielson style

You can’t do that to my boy.
Are you F*(#$&%*($#% KIDDING ME???

Ack!!!! What the crap. I’m having awful flashbacks right now.

Zeeeeeeeeeeebrrrrraaaaaaa. In that nasal voice......

That stick looks a bit illegal…

See all you guys started going on about hat-tricks and what-not. ARGH… jinxes.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/20/08 at 11:22 PM ET
Looks like Oz is guessin’ alot hence the lack of rebound control
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 11:24 PM ET
WHAT THE HELL DRAPER!!
Shoot it down the F$^^#&^%#& ice!

I tried to warn them. The hockey gods hate hubris. They become vengeful and angry gods.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 11/20/08 at 11:26 PM ET
Yeah, I hate hubris too.... especially with pita bread.
Posted by calquake on 11/20/08 at 11:28 PM ET
They become vengeful and angry gods.
Kinda like a 3 goal lead tends to lead to sloppy borderline lazy play at times.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 11:28 PM ET
That’s totally unrealistic. My girlfriend would rather I give her the clap than Arby’s.
Posted by Tyler from Lansing on 11/20/08 at 11:29 PM ET
I’m not going to be able to breathe for this last freaking minute and a half.

Awesome. Truly.

I hate it when I hate having a lead at them very end of a game. Doesn’t make sense unless you are a Wings fan.

That should be a permanent staple of this blog somewhere.

Damn Fil, you couldn’t hit that empty net? Shanny hit one from centre ice under much more strenuous conditions.
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 11/20/08 at 11:33 PM ET
I’ll take an ugly win over a pretty loss any day.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/20/08 at 11:34 PM ET
Score not indicitave of the game really. We carry much of the play but have to pucker up at the end.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 11:34 PM ET
Shanny hit one from centre ice
hell, ozzie can hit it too

Z wasn’t under much stress on his chance either
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/20/08 at 11:36 PM ET
Fil and Z missed the gaping net. Wings just love one-goal games I guess.

My own Wingian version of a Yogi-ism. Makes perfect sense in it’s nonsense.

happy:
“we’re in canada, and they love hockey here”
GD i love hockey player interviews
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 11/20/08 at 11:40 PM ET
Maybe it’s a good thing that I rarely get to watch the Wings. I’d probably have a heart attack by the end of the regular season if I watched every game.
Posted by Alex from Innisfail, Alberta on 11/20/08 at 11:40 PM ET
Night all..... up a o’dark thirty for deer hunting.

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
