Oh...Stooges backers made a late run, but Uncle Teddy was consistent throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
It’s a Live Blog bitches, and the game’s on Gary’s Closed Circuit NHL Network. So post a feed if you got it.

Eric Duhatschek on TSN: Holland feels confident about signing “big 3” if two or more take hometown discounts and he can work a trade. Says Holland wants at least one signed by July 1st. Ummm...yeah, I’d think so.

Well if you believe LeBrun, Hank’s gonna be signed by Christmas. What a gift for the 19!
But enough with the headache that is Summer of 09, let’s roast us some Habs!

Thats a bad a tease as me watching a 10 pointer last weekend that bedded down in a brush pile and coulndn’t get a shot… that 30 minutes is identical to this season as the Big Three pans out....... nothing to do but watch n wait and take advantage of an opportunity should it present itself.

I am really looking forward to this game. A true classic match up. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Crap! Missed the poll earlier but would’ve gone Stooges. Let’s have full 60 in honor of the Enigma..... a man who wouldn’t know a full 60 effort if it bit him in the you know what.

Douche Canoe (first reference this season): Detroit’s only weakness is their PK.

Well, I said I wouldn’t take place in a Ted Nugent liveblog...Yet here I am.
Evening all.

Sure. Yeah. I’m down with Bowhunters Against Drugs.
This is what I get for not checking in earlier to see if there was a vote going.

I’m “watching” on Real Time. Those ‘Net links you guys provide just won’t get past the company firewalls.

OKAY STOP WITH THE *#$%@& ZOOM...I feel like I’m watching Cloverfield again.

Ditched again for the Griffins… Is this the Finals Preview or the All Star Shootout?

Heh, the O’Byrne gaffe makes Lilja/Sammy/[enter goat name here] look like HHOF first balloters…

Hey JJ, thanks for the heads up on the NHL Network being avail at Time Warner,,,

Wings’ first two SOGs registered at 42’ from the net.
Posted by SYF from Las Vegas, NV on 11/26/08 at 08:45 PM ET
team looks solid in the early going. A little sloppy, but I’m sure that’ll improve.
someone shut up McGuire. PLEASE?! Anyone?
Posted by Alzy from Innisfail, Alberta, Canada on 11/26/08 at 08:46 PM ET
I know its early, but I really like the look of that line (Hudler, Helm and Filp)
Posted by YYZerman from Phoenix on 11/26/08 at 08:46 PM ET
Habs aren’t really fighting for it in the neutral zone, but they’re doing well limiting chances. They’re making every Wings line look like a forechecking/energy line.
Mule in the box...urk.

Hey MO, looks like Stewie knows that it’s huntin’ season too!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 08:48 PM ET
How wonderful I get to soak in the dulcet tones of the Douche Canoe tonight.
Posted by HockeyJoe from Upstate New York on 11/26/08 at 08:50 PM ET
Helm beats the Enigma cleanly on the draw.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/26/08 at 08:53 PM ET
Is it just me or is it dead in here tonight?
Don’t tell me you’re all too scarred from the last game to watch any more. You’ve all becomme Wake-Me-Up-In-April Mitch Albom types?
Hello?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 08:53 PM ET
I hate this rule. It’s unspeakably idiotic.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 11/26/08 at 08:55 PM ET
Kopecky - two minutes playing hockey with his hands.
Posted by HockeyJoe from Upstate New York on 11/26/08 at 08:55 PM ET
Sorry I’m late, not sure how long I’ll be sticking around tho. Got crease crashing to do.
Just in time for a rotten penalty.
How we looking so far?
Posted by Nate A from the Church of Babcock on 11/26/08 at 08:56 PM ET
Don’t tell me you’re all too scarred from the last game to watch any more.
Dunno about anyone else, but I’m in a surly *#$%@& mood and I’ve got a boatload of Captain in me. I’m still pissed about the last game.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/26/08 at 08:56 PM ET
I’m just about to get to bow hunt a bunch, I’m all for more from these guys too.
Jr’s turn?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/26/08 at 08:57 PM ET
By the way, as Chief said: YYZ, thanks for the link. I’ve got the NHL Network on, but listening to Ken and Mick thanks to you.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/26/08 at 08:58 PM ET
Just me or the volume all hinky on the tube tonight?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/26/08 at 08:58 PM ET
Yeah, but Gabe (and this is sort of an answer to Nate as well), we’re looking better than last game.
I just we could get some early shots on Price-- shake him early. Even without the two penalties, I have a feeling we may be getting outshot right now.
Fil took a big hit to clear the puck at ten end of that last PK. That’s guts.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 08:59 PM ET
I’m still pissed about the last game.
Last game, last deer hunt too.... Grrrr. Ones that get away haunt.
Double up negative jeopardy.
Molson Canadians for me.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/26/08 at 09:00 PM ET
Is it just me or has Lebda looked better lately?
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 11/26/08 at 09:01 PM ET
I don’t like our chances if we keep shooting from the goal line when they could’ve passed a while ago and the passing when they had a good chance for a shot.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 11/26/08 at 09:02 PM ET
If Oompa Loompa were a little bigger, he’d be the next coming of Esa Tikkanen. I like the pain in the ass edge he’s developed.
Posted by HockeyJoe from Upstate New York on 11/26/08 at 09:03 PM ET
Huds got greedy there. He should’ve made the pass to Helm, who drifted right to the side of the net. (I think it was Helm, maybe it was Wally)
We just have to stop being so cute.
Posted by Alzy from Innisfail, Alberta, Canada on 11/26/08 at 09:03 PM ET
we’re looking better than last game.
Of course we are. It’s the first period. By the third we’re going to look like the Mighty Ducks before Emilio Estevez shows up.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/26/08 at 09:03 PM ET
DC interviewing Uncle Mike. I’m surprised he’s not wearing his McGill tie.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 09:03 PM ET
Helm looks good.
Can’t think of a time he’s really disappointed. Even on his short stay this time up. The kid wants to play, no matter where… and takes the trip back to GR well. Good attitude and will be a good Wing.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/26/08 at 09:04 PM ET
Frickin Lang. Whats bets on how many goals he scores on us tonite? He killed us in CHI.
Posted by Nate A from the Church of Babcock on 11/26/08 at 09:05 PM ET
Man, I’m liking Hudler and Helm. Dangerous.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 11/26/08 at 09:05 PM ET
Nice rush, Hudler - he’s got some of the best hands on the team.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 11/26/08 at 09:05 PM ET
Don’t mention the Third Period, Gabe. I hear if you say it three times consecutively while staring into a mirror, a William Tell shot appears and smashes your mirror.

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
