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.

You called Sammy getting a goal, we should have assumed that Lilja (!) would get one too. For the Poultry.

These 5-3s are killing us
They’ll usually kill any team.

Datsyuk and Hossa in a pile on the ice. There’s your scary Halloween moment. Yikes.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 10/29/08 at 10:44 PM ET
Clean ice and a power play to start the third…
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 10/29/08 at 10:44 PM ET
Chief… no question. Rivalry Chart needs to show the Poultry as #1.

Wings are going to be exhausted tomorrow night in San Jose.

Ya know, I’d actually forgotten how much I hate the Ducks. I really did.
Looking at Neidermeyer’s face right there reminded me of the look on his face after he and Pronger drove Homer’s face into the boards.

How does franchise killer Niedermayer skate away from that shaking his head?
I’ll have you know that our franchise-killer’s name is Pronger. The shambles he left in Hartford, St. Louis, and Edmonton… ? I have nightmares.

I refer you to Zetterberg vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins circa 2008 Stanley Cup Finals for the exceptions.

That call on Niedermeyer was kinda weak,, but we’ll take it.
I think May is done for tonight, looked like a shoulder to the ribs.

I haven’t. I never forget how much I hate them. Or the Avs. Or the Preds.

Had a chance to go, have been many times now… but this tear out the carpet for the new carpet thing. Been to the Tank many times now… like 5 I think. It’s always loud as sheiot there.

Nicky Lindstrom...the Silent Assassin.

I’d rather go see the Wings. Forget the carpet… just buy a nice rug.

Voox… notice I said… usually kill ANY team. Not ours.... THE KILL WILL LIVE ON. “We mostly spoke Swedish” as Hank said....
We’ve not been killed by them tonight… yet....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/29/08 at 10:49 PM ET
Now that Jiggy’s got three deflections from the right wing on his mind, you think the Wings will try it again only to fake it and pass to the left so that whoever’s there can slam it into an open net?
Just one more period to go against the Dicks. Hang in there Wings.

I’m a Lilja fan, but Murph sounds like Lilly is his new best friend.

Kunitz interview on FSN:
Q: What do you think about three 5-on-3’s so far in this game?
A: Well, this day in age the refs get them right so we just need to take advantage.
Riiiiiiiiiight.

To be honest, I’d just blow off tomorrow’s result. It’s two teams that likely will meet later in the spring when it matters, but that moment is hardly now. Let the Sharkies overblow tomorrow’s importance.
Posted by Earl Sleek from Anaheim, CA on 10/29/08 at 10:51 PM ET
Jennifer, you are clearly not my wife… you like hockey, you’d let me blow off the carpet install another week (I’ve blown it off 2 weeks already...?)....
Seriously, I love my wife, but… just sayin’

Exhausted maybe, but battered and bruised for sure

Am I the only one who thought maybe last year in the SCPO’s Murph sounded like he’d been into the boze a wee bit a few times at the end of a couple broadcasts?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/29/08 at 10:54 PM ET
BTW, as the proprietor of BoC I have very little access to any information, but one thing that I do know is that Brian Hayward writes his own “questions from the fans” and makes up fans’ names.
When will Versus make him a full-timer and free me of this menace?!
Posted by Earl Sleek from Anaheim, CA on 10/29/08 at 10:54 PM ET
John Keating just telling us that this date back in 1970, Gordie became the first player to record 1,000th assists. Nice!
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 10:55 PM ET
My challenge to this team is tonight and tomorrow, like back to back playoff games. Let’s see what’cha’ve got. Win’em both & sweep. I know it’s early and all but this is good shit here…
B-e-e-r-r-u-n-. Ice cold Canadian coming up.....

It’s just you, MOWings. He sounds like that most games...usually by the second intermission. And he gets red and puffy. It’s pretty awesome.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/29/08 at 10:56 PM ET

Classic. I have zero doubt that half the beat writers who do the Mail Sack do the same thing.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/29/08 at 10:59 PM ET
That Salami guy…
2 PPG., both 5 on 3’s, I think.
Too many headshots makes anyone sound like they been sippin’.

I don’t know if Adrian Dater is intelligent enough to come up with names....

Another “slow” glove save from Osgood. Wonder if Stan Fischler’s watching this game?

Geez… I thought I was the only one who noticed that. He always looks like he’s constipated too.

That twat monkey aimed high on Pavel. Make him pay.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/29/08 at 11:03 PM ET
The NHL really doesn’t seem to give a crap about hits to the head.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 10/29/08 at 11:04 PM ET
Damn, Gabe. I didn’t know you wrote for the Denver Post.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 11:04 PM ET
Chief, worst goalie to win how many Cups again?
Stuff it Stan.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/29/08 at 11:05 PM ET
Pronger head shot and no call. Holy Christ.
Technically, he wasn’t called on either the Holmstrom or the McAmmond hit.
Just sayin’.
Posted by Earl Sleek from Anaheim, CA on 10/29/08 at 11:06 PM ET
What the F@#$@#$ was that with the ref in the way??? Sheesh.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 10/29/08 at 11:06 PM ET
Dirty Neanderthal!! Cheap elbow to the face of Datsyuk. Where’s Downey when you need him?
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 10/29/08 at 11:06 PM ET
What’s going on? Why can’t we get it together?
OHHH...that’s right. It’s the 3rd period.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 10/29/08 at 11:06 PM ET
Cleary is no Homer/Franzen. Maybe if he bulked up about 50 pounds.
Posted by clemshady from Greenwood, SC on 10/29/08 at 11:07 PM ET
Crap… that woulda been a beauty goal by Zetts.

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
