As mentioned earlier, you disregarded Triumph the other day and that saddened me. So, for tonite, I took democracy to a new level and picked them myself.
Those without the NHL Network...rejoice and let your disdain for midget David Stern lackeys warm you.
1. If you have a link to a feed, please post.
2. It’s a Live Blog bitches.

Evening Chief, don’t have a link but am sure some one will. Looking forward to a good game.

‘Ello all. Let’s pretend no teams from Michigan played football today and hope for a Wings W. We’ll all be better for it, UM and Sparty fans alike.

No doubt.

Evening Jenn and Quake. I make no grand predictions as to my endurance tonite.
In other words, I might pass out before the second period. I’m just sayin’.

As if we haven’t learned to expect that by now.

I know you easterners hate these late games but, for me, it’s like I get to watch a game at a normal time. Normally it’s a 4:30 start out here, which is a lousy time for watching hockey.

This is the wrong hockey blog for sarcasm Gabe.

I started freaking out thinking the game wasn’t being broadcast tonight because I couldn’t find it on any of the Center Ice channels and then finally found out it was on the NHL network. Sheesh.

Crap, I want Boston to beat Montreal tonight. Which means the opposite will happen.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/22/08 at 09:54 PM ET
Double Crap, looks like OT with Habs vs Bruins so we might not see the beginning of the Wings
Posted by calquake on 11/22/08 at 10:00 PM ET
Texas Tech is getting its handed to it Oak. And Chicago beat Toronto in overtime.
Posted by Osrt on 11/22/08 at 10:01 PM ET
Cal, I’m with you there. Considering the Bos/Mtl game is also showing on Center Ice, I’d rather be able to watch the opening faceoff tonight.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/22/08 at 10:02 PM ET
I’m looking at myp2p.eu and the ones listed as Wings feeds are showing Boston/Montreal. let me know when the Wings game has started…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 11/22/08 at 10:02 PM ET
NHL Network is showing the Bruins/Canadiens game before this, even though it’s on Center Ice. Great job Gary. Ass.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 11/22/08 at 10:04 PM ET
Evening all. Just let’s not mention Rich Rodriguez tonight, okay? I hear if you say his name three times while looking in a mirror, he appears right next to you.
Barring a miracle, B’s vs. Habs going to overtime, so I guess it’ll be us joining the game already in-progress.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/22/08 at 10:04 PM ET
he is switching from the RW to the Habs/Boston game for ads.
Posted by Aimee from Austin on 11/22/08 at 10:06 PM ET
everything is showing Boston/Montreal overtime…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 11/22/08 at 10:06 PM ET
Evenin’ Chief, Gabe, Andrew, Osrt, Jen, Tyler, JJ, RW, Cal…
I, being from Ohio, won’t comment on the game… but, sheesh.
Well, I guess I kinda commented.

Oh hey, you guys are getting shafted too? I thought it was just my crappy socialist European provider. Oh well, we’re all in the same boat, so let’s just luxuriate in the immaculately coiffed tresses of Le Enigma as he glides down the ice sheet like an unshaven Katarina Witt, blissfully unaware of the fact that the puck is between himself and his goalie, grinning serenely as the odd-man rush grimly takes shape…
Boo-ya. How ya like me now?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/22/08 at 10:08 PM ET
Once the Habs/Bruins game is over, it will switch to the Wings game. FYI, the NHL Network went dark here in Detroit at 10p, game blacked-out in Detroit market, only option is FSD, in darn SD while the game on the NHL Net is HD.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 11/22/08 at 10:08 PM ET
nhl.com doesn’t show the WIngs game as having started yet.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/22/08 at 10:08 PM ET
And NHL radio hasn’t started the audio feed yet.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 11/22/08 at 10:09 PM ET
Why the heck would it be blacked out in Detroit when they’re in Calgary tonight?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/22/08 at 10:10 PM ET
That’s okay Dub. Anyone thinking UM had a chance against OSU today hasn’t been watching UM all season.
Posted by calquake on 11/22/08 at 10:10 PM ET
Le Enigma
That’d be the masculine version. I propose La Enigma.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/22/08 at 10:10 PM ET
Forgot to say hello. ‘Sup.
Know what’s great about watching MTL?

Evening Dub. If I were you, I’d pack up the family, loved ones, and pets, and head about an hour north.
If there’s any justice in the world, Ohio will be wiped out by a gigantic space rock tomorrow.

Sorry for that. Bitches.

You never know who you’re talking to. I could be Miley Cyrus’ pimp. Better like me just a little more tahn that if you wanna learn who Hannah Montana REALLY is behind closed doors…

Has to be the most comments before we’ve seen any game action in a live blog for the WINGS.
Gary. See Pauls pic.

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
