Everything that had been going wrong up to Monday went right against the dastardly Poultry. All ills: solved. Sustainability? We’ll see.
That’s the key: sustained superior performance.
It’s a Live Blog bitches. Your neutrality is valued and appreciated.

Neutrality be damned and the twins can go pork their mother.

Should provide a decent feed for you viewing pleasure closer to game time.

Has anyone heard whether any of our Deep Diggers are going to be laid-off by Gannet Corpration?
Posted by w2j2 on 12/04/08 at 06:57 PM ET
Sanford & Sons apparently has an injured back too. If we can play with the same intensity as against the poultry and keep getting shots on net, we should be pretty well off.

I’m looking for 60 minutes. 3 full periods. Buzzer to buzzer, win the small battles, tight in our end and turn up ice with crisp outlet passing. Thanks.
After that part our game is fun to watch.
Well, other than the goaltending of late. Huh, time for another beer.

WOW, Igor finally looks his age. usually I am into older guys but Igor doesn’t age as well as others. lol

I wish Center Ice would play the damn pregame and post game shows.

Well, he has what 2 or 3 teen age daughters.....

Second.

haha MO19, yeah two or three of those will do that. lol
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 12/04/08 at 07:26 PM ET
I’m looking for Wally to shoot instead of passing, and Cleary to keep skating like a madman.
Posted by w2j2 on 12/04/08 at 07:28 PM ET
I’m not bitching anymore. But I’m not backing off my expectations....
My thought earlier about bitching and being one of the 19.... and #19 never bitched....
Well, I’ll see how long it lasts.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/04/08 at 07:28 PM ET
We all love The Professor. Wasn’t Vancouver his first NHL team? Both teams to honor him. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Mickey singing Sammy’s praises now too?
Well crap, I’m still not backing off Kopecky until he steps up his game.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/04/08 at 07:32 PM ET
If Sammy would just move 2 strides closer to the net before shooting, he would be a beast.
Posted by w2j2 on 12/04/08 at 07:35 PM ET
thanks for the link, its a beautiful thing
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 12/04/08 at 07:37 PM ET
2 defensemen taking a draw. Brilliant!
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 12/04/08 at 07:38 PM ET
Pavel Datsyuk looked particularly pleased for Igor tonight.
Posted by w2j2 on 12/04/08 at 07:39 PM ET
Does Ozzie know he doesn’t have to let the first one in?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/04/08 at 07:41 PM ET
That will put a hitch in our git along........
Posted by Rumbear from the den.... on 12/04/08 at 07:41 PM ET
Was gonna say something nice about Sammy then Pyatt scored right over Ozzie’s glove hand. We may need Rahmani on scene...STAT.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/04/08 at 07:41 PM ET
I saw Dr R you should to Ozzie! I love the way Pav’s says that line.
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 12/04/08 at 07:43 PM ET
I said I wasn’t going to bitch.... we’ll see how long I can last.....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/04/08 at 07:43 PM ET
Blame Ozzie if you want, but Pyatt was open because Lidstrom had the puck carrier covered and instead of looking for the open man, Maltby decided to help Lidstrom.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 12/04/08 at 07:45 PM ET
Oompa. Happy.
And I agree with Gramps on Pyatt’s goal. Still a clear shot over his glove hand, but a tough save for Osgood.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/04/08 at 07:47 PM ET
notice no one Kopecky passes to can take it in stride, yes check that he makes a nice short pass and we are all tied up!!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 12/04/08 at 07:47 PM ET
Draper’s hurting. Didn’t see him get hit...ahhh, a puck to the back of the knee. He’ll be back in two shifts.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/04/08 at 07:48 PM ET
Well there goes our faceoff percentage.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/04/08 at 07:48 PM ET
I think Hossa may just be the strongest one handed hockey player I’ve seen. He does a lot with just one hand on the stick.
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 12/04/08 at 07:50 PM ET
He does a lot with just one hand on the stick.
*ahem*
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 12/04/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Great goal by the third liners. Kopecky holds the puck in, Filppula pressures at the right time and picks up a lose puck, nice passing and Hudler doesn’t screw up.
It’s funny how whenever someone criticizes a player he seems to go and do something good.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 12/04/08 at 07:51 PM ET
He does a lot with just one hand on the stick.
Now there’s a softball. Who wants it?
Draper back out yet?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 12/04/08 at 07:52 PM ET
He does a lot with just one hand on the stick.
See how well he does after he’s been to sea for six months straight.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/04/08 at 07:52 PM ET
Hey, if all it takes is for me to keep riding Kopecky for him to start dropping assists like that, then I think I can keep that up.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/04/08 at 07:53 PM ET
Oompa Loompa doopity frigging happy doo la hoopy hat trick tonite. I’m just sayin’.

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
