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.

As I was about to type before Oompa decided he was going to single-handedly win this game, for anyone interested, the NHL Network showing a half hour special on the captaincy of St. Nick. TiVo it if you can.

Motherfu**ers. Verizon’s not carrying the NHLN yet. Dammit.

Great work from FSN-D to take a look at Oompa’s time on ice before the goal...40 seconds.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/04/08 at 08:00 PM ET
The Captians interviews are always good! Norris Nick!

Maybe a natural one Cwix.

Good job by Ozzie to bail out Pavel after a bad turnover behind his own net.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/04/08 at 08:02 PM ET
Its great that we have had two of the classiest guys to ever play the game as back to back captians...another reason why we are the best
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 12/04/08 at 08:04 PM ET
Geez, how did that stay out. Ozzy didnt have a clue.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 12/04/08 at 08:05 PM ET
OZZIE!!!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 12/04/08 at 08:05 PM ET
What a job by Ozzie to keep his composure there.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/04/08 at 08:06 PM ET
The whole damn Bernstein family just reeks of reliability.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/04/08 at 08:07 PM ET
Goalies making saves is nice, getting help from the D is great.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/04/08 at 08:08 PM ET
Heh, got some mics at ice level that time.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 12/04/08 at 08:09 PM ET
Knocked Z’s mask down over his nose. can’t miss that one.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/04/08 at 08:10 PM ET
Bah, the umbrella needs to drop a bit lower for this PP. Some Shots wouldnt hurt either.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 12/04/08 at 08:12 PM ET
Raffi has points, sure. But he’s another that can’t hit a bull in the a$$ with a bucket of rice this year.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/04/08 at 08:12 PM ET
man. fox sucks this season. anyone else notice that? i take it i’m not the only one who went to commercial there for a few on the PP.
Posted by ColdWar on 12/04/08 at 08:15 PM ET
I had to skip over to survivor,Bob is so HOT!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 12/04/08 at 08:20 PM ET

Posted by Cwix from Roanoke, VA on 12/04/08 at 08:20 PM ET
That’s the latest TV trick....A tire commercial starts with 6 seconds left in the 5 on 3.

Yep. I’m almost glad I didn’t miss anything.

Same up in Bay City area, and irritates the hell out of my dad. Started at $5, but they bumped the price up 33 cents every few months.
Murphy is sounding good tonite. Somebody steal his flask?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 12/04/08 at 08:24 PM ET
Guts:
Before Lilja threw that perfect “post-pattern” pass to Oompah, he was high-sticked, cut on the lip (later required stictches on the bench). So he quickly drags himself up onto his skates and makes a pass worthy of Bret Favre.
Andreas, I salute you!
Posted by w2j2 on 12/04/08 at 08:24 PM ET
Quick, before the second starts, post your high sticks missed to high sticks called ratio
4:2

I love that Molson commercial too… Nobody in the south would get it. And note that the two hockey players are Wings and Hawks…
Posted by Cwix from Roanoke, VA on 12/04/08 at 08:27 PM ET
Gotta give Fox a break on that commercial.
It is usually the Cable company that cuts in unexpected with their
designated commercial time.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 12/04/08 at 08:30 PM ET
As much as I hate having to watch a feed, there is something about watching hometown commercials that makes me smile - and get a little homesick…
Posted by Aimee in Austin on 12/04/08 at 08:31 PM ET
Mick says, “barely enough room for the puck”. My ass. Osgood left the short side wide open.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/04/08 at 08:36 PM ET
There’s the number we’ve come to appreciate. 3.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 12/04/08 at 08:39 PM ET
Cant blame that one. But give him the hook anyway.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 12/04/08 at 08:39 PM ET
Kopecky pulling the puck back right before he crosses the line. Did they not have blue lines where he grew up?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/04/08 at 08:41 PM ET

Ask Hossa.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 12/04/08 at 08:41 PM ET
Hossa seems to understand how to keep from putting his linemates offsides.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 12/04/08 at 08:46 PM ET
Nick frickin Lidstrom! nice tip by who ever

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
