Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News says the Stars need a new backup goalie.
He says there are several to choose from.
Including?
Manny Legace, making $2.15 million this season in St. Louis, but a UFA at year’s end (He’s 1-5-1 with a 3.93 GAA and .849 save percentage).
Awesome.
It’s a Live Blog bitches.

It’s going to be a good game. For the first time in days, my girlfriend’s cat pooped inside the litterbox.

You should name him Samuelsson.

Hey everyone! You’d think I’d be watching this on tv since I live in Texas and last time I checked Dallas was in Texas (unfortunately), but no. We have two schools I have never heard of playing basketball. So, for everyone who needs a feed:

I can’t think of a better way to start the liveblog.

All the reminiscing has been nice but there’s no time like the present. A win would be a nice present. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Oh, and Yahoo is streaming the game…

So, is it too early to start grovelling for extra tickets to the Jan 31 game in DC?
It seems the game is sold out, according to Ticketbastard. Geez, back before the Whalers moved to Raleigh, we used to drive to DC on game nights, and buy 3rd row seats 10 minutes before game time(shrugs).WTF??
Hmmm....maybe the Chief, in his infinite wisdom, and deep pocketbook, purchased a huge block of tickets , anticipating these developments.
Chief??

I’ve been calling him the Mad Pooper, but Samuelsson is so much better. How did I not think of that??

I wish Dougie. And it’s a 1230 game. Wonder if any bars around the Verizon Center will be open at 0800?

Matt Saler linked to nhlLOLs in his blog today. I’m not a huge lolcats fan, but this one just cracked me the hell up.

I wish our cat with IBS would leave all his pies in the box…
Here’s hoping for a urine drenched Turco tonite.
LET’S GO RED WINGS!!!

Just getting in from the tree stand… crackin one and hoping to see Marty’s V, since he’s our bitch and all.

“I wish Dougie. And it’s a 1230 game. Wonder if any bars around the Verizon Center will be open at 0800? “
Bars?? We don’t need no steenking bars!!
I’ll bring 2(or3) Mason Jars full of Virginia moonshine (the Patron quality stuff), and 30 minutes in the parking lot at 11:30 will have you in good shape to watch the final warmups 30 minutes later.

Larry Murphy’s whoring himself to any network showing hockey these days.
Luckily for us there aren’t many of those.
Eh Gary? Ass.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/08/09 at 07:34 PM ET
Since the Jan 31 game in DC seems to be sold out.... there is a fair amount of time (like 1/2 a season or so) to plan on going to a game at the Joe.... just kickin it out there now as some of us with wife n kid and stufff need a little time to plan things out.
Thoughts anyone?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/08/09 at 07:37 PM ET
(or has it been like that lately? I’ve missed a few games.)
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 01/08/09 at 07:40 PM ET
Cats...fatten em up, save em for February. I’ll make throw pillows for the Hasek just like last year.

That’s too funny eyeris. I just got this message from a friend of mine: “Okay, my son just walked back from the park behind our house....with no shirt on. When questioned as to why, in 30 degree weather he has no shirt on, he replied “It has pee on it.” Someone find Murph and ask him how you can PEE on a shirt that you are WEARING?”
HA!!!!

Man Osgood was WAY out on the smack head (Ribeiro).
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/08/09 at 07:41 PM ET
I’ll be in one of those Verizon center bars at around 10am on the 31st. I’ll be forcing one of my college buddies into a Datsyuk t-shirt in exchange for morning shots before the game.
Posted by Aimee in Austin on 01/08/09 at 07:41 PM ET
MO, I’m going to assume you’re talking a weekend game. only Feb options are Sat the 7 v the Oil, or Sun the 15 vs those hot tub loving, sissy sipping, cross dressing superfans from the rockies.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/08/09 at 07:42 PM ET
pretty quick paced up and down game, never would have happened in a game between the Wings and Stars 2 years ago.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 01/08/09 at 07:42 PM ET
Nate....I’ll go to the Joe anytime, just need a lil heads up. 10 days notice is plenty for the day job. This year is the first in 7 I haven’t been to the Joe IF I don’t go this season
Hell yeah HOSS.

We’ll set something up Aimee, get a few of the 19 there.
HOSSA.

Sounds like a talented kid Jen.
Not sure Murph would have a good answer....
HOSS!!!!!!!!!

Mine? nah, just a cute puppy I saw on the internet
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 01/08/09 at 07:45 PM ET
Holy Cow!!!! That was impressive. HOSSSSSS!!!!

Methinks Hossa has found his touch again.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/08/09 at 07:46 PM ET
Whoa. Nice mention of the Emperor. OUTSTANDING.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/08/09 at 07:47 PM ET
I looked over and noticed my dachschund taking a dump in the floor at the EXACT second Hossa pull the trigger on that shot.
Coincidence?
Posted by dougie on 01/08/09 at 07:48 PM ET
Wow, we’re on to start a game. Awake in the first is unusual this year
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/08/09 at 07:49 PM ET
Feed that dog more dougie. And never let it outside.
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 01/08/09 at 07:50 PM ET
Mental note to wear shoes in cephalopod’s and dougie’s houses.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 01/08/09 at 07:51 PM ET
Defense looks sharp. Need more shots on goal though...even though the goal came from a shot from a strange place.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 01/08/09 at 07:51 PM ET
MO, I’m cool with pretty much any day for a game. Osrt was lookin’ at setting up a A2Y nite in Detroit at some point. Not sure what he had in mind. If he decides to show up tonite, perhaps he can elaborate.
I think Hossa wants #20 tonite too.

If it falls to the floor it stays on the floor. No “5 second rule”!
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 01/08/09 at 07:53 PM ET
Draper, what was that?
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago, on the poop deck, not over it yet on 01/08/09 at 07:54 PM ET
Where the hell was the penalty on that? Turk is a sneaky bastard.

And once again, I’m just so very proud.

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
