In one of the greatest upsets in Live Blog sponsorship history, it was J. Geils over Aerosmith by a single vote.
And believe you me, I had a whole series of Perry/Tyler lyrics lined up.
It’s an O-6 Live Blog bitches, with some help from Peter Wolf. I’ll be joining you a little late, taping the game and catching up with you all around 1930.

Anyone got a feed for the game?

First post....
The mating call of the Pittsburgh Pride Festival. That, on top of predicting an OT game, earns you a nice, warm cup of GTFO.

Heater broken in your train car Gabe? You seem unusually grumpy.

Ken and Mumbles?? Where the HELL is Mick??

I’ve been in a bad mood for weeks. When the Wings win one convincingly, I’ll cheer up. Maybe.
Murphy seems oddly lucid tonight.

Crap. I spoke too soon. First slur of the night trying to pronounce Boston. It’s “BOS-TON”...not “BOSSHN” Murph.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/29/08 at 07:04 PM ET
F*ck OSU.
I’m Andrew, from Ann Arbor. That is all, Okie.
Wait, what? Oklahoma State who?
Evening all. Thanks to NASN, I’m still watching Florida vs. Florida state. They’re flashing a message that they’ll roll to the game soon, but right now I’m still watching Tim Tebow dance like an idiot.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/29/08 at 07:05 PM ET
This game could be ugly. I’m not expecting anything amazing from them tonight.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 11/29/08 at 07:07 PM ET
Ah, that’s better.
Milan Lucic and Zdeno Chara-- separated at birth? As an extra comparison, they both make me nervous. Gonna have to look out for them.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/29/08 at 07:07 PM ET
F*ck OSU.
Saw UofM dimantle WMU 2 weeks ago. Unclose.
We need a drinking game.
Take a shot each time Murphy screws up?
Posted by The Hurricane on 11/29/08 at 07:08 PM ET
Andrew, as an native Michigander and an OU alum, I say Fu@# to both OSU!!
Evening!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 11/29/08 at 07:08 PM ET
Alto reed plays better then that dude did!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 11/29/08 at 07:08 PM ET
Damn!! Hoss is a beast!!
Buckets, how do you miss that??
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 11/29/08 at 07:09 PM ET
Amen to that, Jeff.
Alto Reed rules. He would have gotten that puck to the net a millisecond earlier, resulting in a goal.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/29/08 at 07:10 PM ET
Alright...I’m not a huge fan of the Bruins wearing a 3rd jersey on an original six matchup...they look like...every other fricken team that has a black jersey.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/29/08 at 07:11 PM ET
B’s are starting slow—couple of real good shifts for the Wings.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 11/29/08 at 07:13 PM ET
Drapes takes an elbow to the head and...oh wait, they called it?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/29/08 at 07:13 PM ET
Gabe, I’d compress that thought personally:
...I’m not a huge fan of the...3rd jersey
It’s another whorish way to fill the coffers of Gary’s new NHL.
I toad jew. Chara makes me nervous for that reason.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/29/08 at 07:15 PM ET

Agree completely. Having said that though, I have to admit I’m a huge fan of the Winter Classic Wings jersey.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/29/08 at 07:16 PM ET
B’s PK is impressive. It’ll be interesting to see if the Wings pot a PP goal.
Do the B’s have a shot yet??
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 11/29/08 at 07:18 PM ET
Sure, but that, being a replica of the one worn way back in 1926, is hardly a ‘third jersey’ in the non-Original Six sense of the term.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/29/08 at 07:18 PM ET
Time for Stewie or Kronner to lay someone out.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/29/08 at 07:18 PM ET
Gabe—Ward laid himself out for us!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 11/29/08 at 07:21 PM ET
Well they’ve started strong...like to see something come from all these chances.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 11/29/08 at 07:21 PM ET
Wow, we are getting all up in Fernandez’s grill.
Message received from Uncle Mike, I guess.
And now NASN is showing a replay of Timmy Tebow. Hopping around like Tom Cruise on Oprah. Man.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/29/08 at 07:22 PM ET
Roger that Andrew,
0 SOG for the B’s
DET has 7 SOG, really buzzing the B’s (pardon the pun).

Are you suggesting that the Lightning’s “BOLTS” jersey somehow fails to represent the tradition and rich history of such a proud team? 
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/29/08 at 07:25 PM ET
1st frigging shot is in the net—Damnitall
Lil’s left standing in cement
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 11/29/08 at 07:26 PM ET
Ugh. Finally, we allow them a shot on goal, and it’s a doozy. First-shot score.
What goaltending controversy?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/29/08 at 07:27 PM ET
This is why I’m in such a bad *#$%@& mood.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/29/08 at 07:27 PM ET
Man, and I was just telling Megan the other day that Lilja’s having a good season. That was the return of Lilypads. And was it just me or did Kronwall play that wrong? I’d like to see it again.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 11/29/08 at 07:27 PM ET
I have a feeling we just lost the game.

Didn’t you get the memo, Gabe? Apparently Tampa is the new Hockeytown. Suck it, Minneapolis and Boston.

Indeed—
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 11/29/08 at 07:30 PM ET
Okay, replay exonerates Kronwall - mostly. He played the pass, but could have taken the lane away better.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 11/29/08 at 07:30 PM ET
First Chara, now Lucic.
Yeah, I’m nervous.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/29/08 at 07:30 PM ET
Took me twenty minutes to catch up via DVR. Just in time to see the goal. I think, up to that minute, this was some of the best hockey we’ve seen from the Wings this season.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 11/29/08 at 07:31 PM ET
OMG no more pictures of the Bernstein kids!!!!!! EYE BLEACH!!!!!!!!!!
Richard’s lazy eye makes me vurp.
Posted by The Hurricane on 11/29/08 at 07:33 PM ET
Considering we had five shots on goal in less than the first trhee minutes while they had none, agreed. That’s why if this turns out to be one of those nasty-ass playoff first rounders where we dominate everywhere but the scoreboard, I’m going to go find a puppy to kick.

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
