I figured it just might be time to bring Lightfoot back into the mix.
That’s right. It’s a traditional A2Y Edmund Fitzgerald Live Blog bitches. Your thoughts, concerns and even-mindedness are welcome.

Holy...the Wings benefit from a goalie interference call. And the Duck announcers are on the verge of tears.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/29/08 at 09:44 PM ET
Wow, a goal called back the other way? When’s the last time that happened to the Wings?
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 10/29/08 at 09:44 PM ET
Thank you. If that was Homer, it’d be a call back. Just sayin’
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/29/08 at 09:44 PM ET
Good call, Earl. I’d say that’s a fair trade.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 09:45 PM ET
take it back or I will never talk to you again! They took the goal back, hehe

If nothing else, a very entertaining period.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 09:47 PM ET
These Poultry announcers are killin’ me… “ and we know Samuelson goes down easily”. Douches X2.

See you guys for period two. I’m off for a re-fill, plus I try to listen to as little Hayward as possible.

I’m not the only one stuck listening to them!!!!! Seriously, it’s painful.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/29/08 at 09:47 PM ET
Whoa...Teemu is sputtering and spitting his way to a fine during the intermission interview. And, I think, he’s talking about Wings diving. Now that just makes me sad.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/29/08 at 09:49 PM ET
The more I look at Kronner, the more he looks like a young (and better looking) Vlady. I think it’s his block head. Then again, I may have been drinking too much this evening. Pay no attention to me.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 09:49 PM ET
HOW MANY DID GARY.ASS. TAKE FROM HOMER LAST YEAR? Like seriously.... Teemu needs a kleenex.

Just got back from somewhere in Chesapeake Bay. Picked up one of my five sons for a quick visit. Now all five are all together. Me and the boy’s. Just me and the boy’s. All mine. Watching a Wings game together. Life doesn’t get better than this. We’re having one of the best times any mother could ask for.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Yeah but Shady, is he hitting anyone? I haven’t seen him register a big hit so far this season.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/29/08 at 09:50 PM ET
True, Chief. I was talking about the interview he just did on FSN, though. Again, I forget that not everyone has that feed. Sorry.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 09:51 PM ET
that was a good call. there was contact initiated into Samuelsson’s back. nowhere near the puck. in any rulebook, that’s textbook interference.
the funny part was I wasn’t watching but I heard the announcer say the Ducks scored, and then talking about Sammy falling into Osgood and I’m thinking “well, that sounds about right.” Sorry Sammy, maybe we’re too hard on you sometimes.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 10/29/08 at 09:51 PM ET
If JR is like Vladdie, he’s going to have to lower the boom on someone ‘tween the blue lines. Open ice… just run right through someone.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/29/08 at 09:52 PM ET
I hate these guys. It’s like part of their success is from being ****heads alone.
Seriously, please beat these ****ers, Wings.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 10/29/08 at 09:52 PM ET
in any rulebook, that’s textbook interference.
Probably true, but it’s significant that they made that call in Anaheim, in front of literally hundreds of fans. 
Certainly I think the recent penalty situation played into the call a bit. It’s a fair even-up, as there have been soft calls everywhere.
Posted by Earl Sleek from Anaheim, CA on 10/29/08 at 09:54 PM ET

To be fair…

Noticed that too Mo. Slalom’d for the first time in almost twenty years this summer and it was...painful.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/29/08 at 10:00 PM ET
No more freaking staples to pull!!! But I do have a housefull of stuff shoved in 2 rooms til the carpet is installed tomorrow morning.... rather umm...wellll inconvenient.
B-e-e-r-r-u-n. Ice cold Canadian heaven in a bottle.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/29/08 at 10:03 PM ET
Did we just start THIRTY SECONDS into the 2nd??
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/29/08 at 10:05 PM ET
Nice moment for you Kate: good stuff.
I suggest moving Homer over to Z’s line. Dats and Hoss can have a monkey on their line and it would still work. So Sammy would go there.
Posted by Osrt on 10/29/08 at 10:05 PM ET
You are right, Earl, it is an epidemic.
Been a few games with only 3 or 5 minors, but they are far between.
If you watch carefully, anytime the Vic has the Perp beat by half a step, they are calling even the slightest casual contact.
Probably take 15 yrs for them to link creampuff hockey with empty seats.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs dont live up to my expectations on 10/29/08 at 10:05 PM ET
Then you missed Homer’s ass in Jiggy’s face.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 10:05 PM ET
We sure did Gabe. All so we could see the comic book “mortal coil” Poultry promo.

Welcome to SoCal. You forgot the word “fashionably”.
Posted by Earl Sleek from Anaheim, CA on 10/29/08 at 10:06 PM ET
BTW, now’s the appropriate time to pick on a thin crowd. That’s lame.
Posted by Earl Sleek from Anaheim, CA on 10/29/08 at 10:07 PM ET
Mac’s been looking for this for 10 games....
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 10:08 PM ET
Mac lost that one pretty soundly.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/29/08 at 10:08 PM ET
Decision: May, and that’s being kind.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/29/08 at 10:08 PM ET
He’s....rusty.
Crap. I’m running out of excuses.
MAC RULES!
(*sniff*)
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/29/08 at 10:10 PM ET
Mac will be looking to go again, methinks. Eesh. I think we can end the ‘Grindline Reunion Tour Experiment’ now.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 10:10 PM ET
Rob Niedermayer forgot to knock Hasek into the net on that play. Sorry, I meant to say Osgood.
Posted by Earl Sleek from Anaheim, CA on 10/29/08 at 10:11 PM ET
I think we can end the ‘Grindline Reunion Tour Experiment’ now.
Agreed.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/29/08 at 10:11 PM ET
Nifty play from Sammy behind the net.
Did I just type that?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/29/08 at 10:15 PM ET
“Silent Assassin”? Who calls him that?

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
