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.

Jen can’t be having too much fun tonite.

No Tyler. They know they won the Cup. But this team seems to expect everyone else to bow at their feet.

Just in case no one has mentioned it.... it’s time to put Z, Dats and Hossa together for the 3rd.
Posted by calquake on 11/26/08 at 08:59 PM ET
So if we’re trailing by three, we should start getting th even-up calls going our way, right?
Right?

YEAH Andrew, and the sun will rise in the west tomorrow too!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 11/26/08 at 09:02 PM ET
Man you guys are extra abrasive tonight. They just got back off the West Coast yesterday. Sure they’re capable of winning tonight but there is still something to say about those long arse trips having an effect.
Posted by Moocat on 11/26/08 at 09:02 PM ET
Be nice if Little Gary’s justice worked to our advantage for once Andrew.
But I don’t know, I’d feel dirty getting a win that way.

A whistle against the Habs—gee Andrew, maybe you were right

Jen can’t be having too much fun tonite.
I’m going to have to sit her down and have a talking to with her. If you check the records, broadcast, print, and blogs 
, the games I was at the Joe during the postseason were called some of the loudest crowds of the year. No coincidence… I have a big mouth and get the other big mouths rallying for the cause.
Jen, one of the few ladies on the blog (where’s Baroque??) is letting Habs fans out-cheer us. And the Douche Canoe pointing out the Habs chants just adds insult to injury.
At least the refs noticed our guys getting mugged in front of the net for once and called a PP.

Yuck—can’t even set up in the zone --- UGLY

Future Red Wing (if I have my way) Stamkos drops the gloves tonight. Save those hands for the dynasty Steven!

Okie, I think we can all get behind the idea that this is all her fault.
Thanks Jennifer. Thanks a lot.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/26/08 at 09:07 PM ET
The refs ain’t the reason for miserable play tonight. The Wings need a cranial-rectal inversion delivered by Uncle Mike between periods.

Spot-on Gabe—
Jen is the proverbial “whipping boy” for tonights debacle. No more games at the JLA for her. It is all her damn karma fault.

She will be the fan version of William Tell, drawing nothing but ire all year. Poor girl, but she should have been cheering louder, so she deserves it.

Gabe...on that whole sandwich thing...just stop...I am sending pizza.
No legs tonite....didn’t we go thru this whole “....it’s the first game after a west coast swing...” garbage last year??
Where’s The Hasek.......it’s time for some serious drinking.
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 11/26/08 at 09:12 PM ET
Anyone else tried of the “measuring stick” lingo?

Then get back in the kitchen where you belong and start tossing that dough, Rumbear. Maybe then we’ll pot one or two.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 09:15 PM ET
Put the big 3 together and ride that sucker for the rest of the game.
- Bilros at HFboards
Brought it over from the other board to say… let’s ride the Big 3 and the Hasek all third period. Tenth round is on me.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 11/26/08 at 09:16 PM ET
And I’m going to stay glued to the TV everyone. It may be karma, I don’t know, but the Canadiens have scored every time I’ve stepped away and not been able to watch. Usually it’s the other way around.
Posted by Alzy from Innisfail, Alberta, Canada on 11/26/08 at 09:16 PM ET
Andrew my man!! Stay outta my kitchen!!
How does one celebrate Thanksgiving in Fortress Europa??
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 11/26/08 at 09:17 PM ET
What is this?!?! I have a horribly stressful visit to the grocery and rush home to catch the end of the game and see this mess… If I didn’t have a race to run tomorrow morning I would be downing a bottle of wine to ease the pain.
Posted by Aimee from Austin on 11/26/08 at 09:21 PM ET
whoops...back to the BIG screen....I have the kids duct taped in their rooms!

How does one celebrate Thanksgiving in Fortress Europa??
By going to work, coming home and having turkey dogs and cranberry juice for dinner. I don’t really hang out with the American expat crowd, so don’t get invitations for Thanksgiving dinners abroad. Half the years I’m back home for Thanksgiving anyway-- since it’s unknown here, my wife’s family doesn’t mind that we don’t spend Thanksgiving with them. Conversely, being Jewish, Christmas has never been a big deal for my family, so we usually spend that one with her family. Works well.
Let’s hope that shot’s broken Gorges’ ankle. I’m still angry about his cross-checking Kopy and Hossa getting the penalty-- that’s what’s led to this mess.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 09:28 PM ET
And Gorges does it again to Kopy. Is that one being called?

“He’ll shoot one, and no one in front”
I’m getting tired of hearing that
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs dont live up to my expectations on 11/26/08 at 09:32 PM ET
Maybe the third period meltdowns will work against the Habs tonight and we can pull off a win.
A three-goal deficit and a Wings periodical third-period collapses. Good god, I almost can’t even watch Real Time.

Without Homer to lead them, the crease-crashers aren’t taking their cues.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 09:34 PM ET
Montreal has melted down in the third as often as the Wings.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs dont live up to my expectations on 11/26/08 at 09:36 PM ET
How come Price has had plenty of meltdowns this year, but against us he’s playing like Ken Dryden?
*#$%@& Habs goalies.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 09:38 PM ET

Because we’re playing like the 1977 Boston Bruins.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 11/26/08 at 09:41 PM ET
Damn. Real Time is showing a bunch of Habs blocking shots like friggin’ demons. One “Blocked Shot” after another.
Posted by SYF from Las Vegas, NV on 11/26/08 at 09:42 PM ET

Touche.
Pardon my French.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 09:45 PM ET
I smell shutout…
I smell a first round flameout. But I’m fairly reactionary.
When in trouble, when in doubt...run in circles, scream and shout.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/26/08 at 09:45 PM ET
MULE with an ABSOLUTE BEAUTY!!
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 11/26/08 at 09:46 PM ET
Mule. That was...jaw-dropping. How the hell are we gonna keep him?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 09:46 PM ET
Nice one Mule!!
Posted by Aimee from Austin on 11/26/08 at 09:47 PM ET

Us or Montreal, Gabe? Either one seems a distinct possibility after this game.
No shutout, anyway.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 09:47 PM ET
Well, looks like the improvements they’ve made since the Pens game have completely regressed in one night. Hopefully, one good thing will come from this game—they’ll learn from the Habs how to hold a 3+ goal lead.
Posted by Nathan on 11/26/08 at 09:49 PM ET
Wow, at least we won’t get shutout.
But my God, pass the puck. It doesn’t really help to just stand there and let a Canadien hit you.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 11/26/08 at 09:49 PM ET
When in trouble, when in doubt...run in circles, scream and shout.
Amen, brother.
No shutout. Sweet Baby Jesus.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 11/26/08 at 09:50 PM ET
Oh, Raffi...leaving Nick with the two-on-one to clean up after you. That won’t do for six million a year.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/26/08 at 09:53 PM ET
Jesus, Conk did all the hard work, but where the hell was our defense clearing the crease?
That was ugly.

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
