Marty…We’re Not Kidding. Put The “V” Away.

Dude. You gave up like 11 goals to the Wings last week. Enough is enough.
Put the V away. And to all you transplants out west? Good on ya.
It also doesn’t hurt that many ex-patriot Michiganders make their homes in some of those opposing towns. “It helps,” Osgood said. “In San Jose, they don’t like us there and it’s the same in Dallas, but there’s a lot of (Wings) fans in Anaheim and L.A. and especially in Phoenix, which just makes it fun and enjoyable for us to play. We enjoy the support and we want to perform well, because they only get a chance to see us once or twice a year.”
It’s a Live Blog bitches. On Versus. Oh, the quality.

I like picking on Marty too, given his record against us it’s an easy target.
Then again, we’re not exactly in position for picking on netminding. But Oz does have a great record against Dallas.....
Cheers.

Possibly, Tyler. The last game I saw there on television the cheers were definitely louder when Detroit did something than when Phoenix did.
God, I hate, hate, HATE versus with the white-hot intensity of a thousand stars. And not those measly brown dwarf deals, either. Wish it was possible to mute commentary and only hear the ambient noise.

Fabulous. I go find a feed, and bull riding is still on. Even on TSN.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/12/09 at 07:48 PM ET
Game’s at 8:00, hence the bulls.
If they go too long just shoot the buggers and make burgers out of them. Burgers and hockey go great together, right?

Evening All,
Feed is coming up ..

Looks like the Versus feed.

Hiya Nate, Baroque and Orst (if & when he shows).... in the next 2-3 days max… I will send an e-mail confirming the details I about the Poultry Pilgrimadge (just made that up too, nice touch I think). I am awaiting a repsonse from one non 19’er & anyone else tonight that might speak up.
So… anyone else? Feb 20th, Wings n Poultry at The Joe?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/12/09 at 07:55 PM ET
Not bull riding on the dish, Nate, but I’m not a big fan of The Contender, either. Regardless, it’s puck time, bitches. Hey Marty! Show us your 5-hole!
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/12/09 at 07:56 PM ET
Oh, I like that idea Mrs B. But do I have to wait?
Really, I was just hoping for some sort of pregame. I’d even take Poker over bullriding...well....maybe not.

One minute and counting.Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Beninatti. Great. What a tool. Thanks Gary. Ass.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/12/09 at 08:01 PM ET
At least Razor’s on there. That should make up for the other idiot.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/12/09 at 08:01 PM ET
What, do we get the VS B-team? Is there something more important for the other nimrods to do tonite?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/12/09 at 08:04 PM ET
At least we didn’t get ditched for dyke golf again. Wait...did we?
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 01/12/09 at 08:05 PM ET
So. I flip over to NHL Network during commercial and there’s some sort of NJ Devils highlight show on.
Narrated by Whoopi Goldberg. Interesting.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/12/09 at 08:05 PM ET
I hear there’s a stud Tiddly-Winks tourney the A team was sent to cover.

I just told you Clem....Whoopi’s on the NHL Network right now.

Whoa. Datsyuk is hotter than the four corners of hell!
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 01/12/09 at 08:08 PM ET
Well we got Jonesy........................

Early contender for Versus quote of the night:
“Pavel Datsyuk hotter than the four corners of Hell right now”
The funny thing is he believes in Dante’s version of hell. His still looking for the corner in the fifth circle.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 01/12/09 at 08:09 PM ET
Beninati.
Yippee.
@MOWings - I like “Poultry Pilgrimage” as a name. Very creative. 
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/12/09 at 08:10 PM ET
So when does Steve Ott make an ass of himself first in this game? First shift?
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 01/12/09 at 08:11 PM ET
Not only does hell have corners, but “Turco has to be the shiny penny and not the reserve stickboy.”
I don’t have a clue what that is even supposed to mean.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/12/09 at 08:12 PM ET
Baroque, sitting in a tree stand affords the “luxury” of thinking time. It’s actually good for my umm… soul. Really.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/12/09 at 08:12 PM ET
Evening all.
Beninati has to have the most annoying play-by-play voice I’ve ever heard.
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 01/12/09 at 08:13 PM ET
Huds just returning the favor from what Turco did to him last week.

Maybe he means the Wings need to pick him up and “own” him…
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 01/12/09 at 08:14 PM ET
Wow. That was a trip? Looks like he stepped on Happy’s stick.

Any luck? Or did you just freeze appendages off in the pre-dawn darkness?

Concur. And his consistent use of the oldest cliches in hockey make it even better.

MO, you are hunting, Right?
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 01/12/09 at 08:15 PM ET
I think he meant they need to throw Turco down a well and wish for a miracle.

I’m sure he’s got reading material handy for those slow mornings.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 01/12/09 at 08:16 PM ET
MO, you are hunting, Right?
No cell phone, no desk phone, no e-mail, no wife, no kid.......
Yes hunting. Peace and absolute solitude is something modern society knows nothing of. I find it good for me in some ways.
And oh yeah, deer.

Not only that, he’s incessantly yapping.
Posted by pilgrim from Ontario Plates on 01/12/09 at 08:18 PM ET
Did he just say something about Hudler “#26 in white and gold”?
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 01/12/09 at 08:18 PM ET
It isn’t even the old cliches as it is making stuff up - like a bad case of verbal diarrhea. I have never heard the word “shoulder” used so much as a verb. Gah.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 01/12/09 at 08:19 PM ET
For all the dickheads who complain about our attendance… take a gander at all those fans disguised as empty seats in Dallas.
Posted by calquake on 01/12/09 at 08:19 PM ET
Hudler “#26 in white and gold”?
Ya know, lighting that Blue Lamp.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 01/12/09 at 08:19 PM ET
Mo, they just showed your V on Versus.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 01/12/09 at 08:19 PM ET
Jesus Versus, turn the crowd noise down more why don’t you? Is that arena dead?
Bad enough start, get it going Wings.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 01/12/09 at 08:19 PM ET
Hey Bitches! Sorry I’m late. Had to rush back after yoga to make it in time. Doesn’t look like I missed too much yet, eh?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 01/12/09 at 08:21 PM ET

Now that’s just damn funny.Cheers on that one.

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

Blogs the Chief Likes
I’m willing to bet there are more Wings fans in Jobing.com Arena during Wings games.
Well, maybe not, but it sure seemed like a lot last time I went to a game.
