Like Yours, Homer’s Groin Is Good To Go

Last year we titled a post, “Massaging Your Groin Without Shame.” That phrase applies today. Many would say it applies every day. In fact, some would say it’s the state logo of Tennessee. Not me. I try to avoid insulting rival fan bases.
My point? Homer’s still got his eyesight and, apparently, his groin is ok too.
The ultrasound results are back and showed nothing wrong. The MRI results will be back later today.
Encouragingly, Holmstrom said that after feeling sharp pain Saturday, he felt better on Sunday and better still today.
“It feels better and better every day,” said Holmstrom. “Saturday was so bad. There was no way I could practice. I was worried.”
Holmstrom said that he hopes to be able to practice with the Red Wings, tomorrow.

Ah.. the anti-digger. I’d venture to call him the “Filler”, but thats the name for all the hooves, testicles and raccoon flesh in my hot dog.

Why is MacLeod so much better than any other reporter in Detroit?
Because he is the Highlander.

There can be only ONE!

If the trainers have been massaging Homer’s groin for him, does that mean he’s still “master of his own domain?”

I don’t know about Homer OTC, but as for me..."I’m out!”

BUt just when you thought you were out, you pull yourself back in… and out.

Rather than HockeyinHD, I though hockeychik said that. I was like, “oh, hell yes, a victory for juvenile fans” and then realized it was just the choir singing (or moaning).
You know, the Highlander used to cut peoples heads off and suck their energy that way. All in favor of Bruce doing that… “yay” ... and it’s unanimous.

That assumes they have any energy worth sucking.
If they just plain suck, the process stops at beheading. I still vote yea!
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 03/11/08 at 05:08 AM ET
I think that’s the point.

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

Why is MacLeod so much better than any other reporter in Detroit? Why does this make me so angry! Give this guy one paragraph and he’s already told me more about the Wings this week than Khan, St. James, Kulfan, and GorelwitEwokWiki have.
Seriously! Why is it so hard to attend a practice and wow! Observe who’s actually playing and in what line combination! I really like MacLeod’s blog, but it’s kind of sad how it unerlines how terrible the Freep and the Detnews are. Although props to the Free Press for reporting on Kilpatrick.
Getting close to a healthy team again!
