Aloha. Here’s the wager with the PensBlog girls. If the Genitalia-less flightless birds win tonite, I’ll be writing the game recap for the geniuses who frequent the C-blog. Vice versa. When the Wings win? You’ll be reading the prose of Charlie and his sorority sisters here tomorrow.
It’s a live blog, bitches. Your even-keeled and objective commentary is welcome.

BOMBARDMENT
You called it Voox.
Something tells me they’re not going to forget to play 60 minutes tonight.

Incidentally, one cool moment on the PP? Our forwards tying up all of their players in front of the net, nothing happens, but hell. Three guys occupying five. Giving good chances to our blueliners.
Anyway, speaking of kiling things...I hear pen-gui-ins is just like chicken.

Aw, Gabe, did you have to remind me of the 30 seconds of doom?

Why can’t these assholes just say our PP was badass and the Pens PK wasn’t up to it?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/11/08 at 07:42 PM ET
i wouldn’t mind seeing someone take a chop at scuderi’s ankle. Mac?
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 11/11/08 at 07:42 PM ET
That was a sweet steal by Dats.

We’re jumpin… I miss Mick now. Holy Jumpin… hehehe

Crosby just learned, courtesy of the Selke trophy winner, the importance of back checking. Not sure he’d ever considered it before.

Shots are 13-4. Now that’s more like it, grizzatch.

I actually hope it’s a close game...I hope it’s 5-5 with 2 minutes left. I want to see Hossa deke Crosby out of his diaper for the game winner.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/11/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Mick is a flat-out legend. i think it’d be great if for versus games, they took the play-by-play guy from one team and the color guy from the other team and let them call it.
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 11/11/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Good period of puck honestly. Traded a few chances straight up.
No worries mates.
Pavel makes Cindy look like a girl. Just sayin’

Good for Versus. They just caught Therrien throwing up in his mouth a little bit.

Snot out the nose funny.

Zetterberg must be happy to finally have 2 competent linemates. Extra jump is noticable in his game, as has been mentioned.
Posted by halomasterd4n on 11/11/08 at 07:46 PM ET
wow i really should have considered that last statement before submitting
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 11/11/08 at 07:47 PM ET
Ozzie picking up the Puck for Mac I’m guessing.

I must have missed it, what did he say?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/11/08 at 07:47 PM ET
Ah, the Pens defenders. Wise in their use of the arts of the blueliner, defenders sublime all.
Learn to defend effectively, kids.
1:28 of clean ice PP to start the second. Almost makes it bearable to listen to the Vs. blowhards.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/11/08 at 07:47 PM ET

Not sure what he said about Crosby...but that was an Avalanche Fan quote if I’ve ever read one. 
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 11/11/08 at 07:48 PM ET
The Wings are a different (much better) team with Franzen. He makes that 2nd line really dangerous and Sammy looks more comfortable in a checking role.

Not just you, Rwings. SOMEBODY had to say it, but then Ovie tried to cover it up on Semin’s behalf. Ruined the whole thing.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/11/08 at 07:49 PM ET
Good one Gabe.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/11/08 at 07:49 PM ET
haha i know i know.
he said he doesn’t see whats so special about him, that he gets hyped up by the league
good stuff
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 11/11/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Penguins are playing tight. It seems to me that they’re trying so hard not to suck against the Wings that they’re not playing their game. Let’s see if Therien can talk some sense in them between bouts of bitching about the refs.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/11/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Thanks rwings… good article.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/11/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Gabe(!)
I glad you said something before I did… you’re way, way classier aboot it…
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 11/11/08 at 07:53 PM ET
It’s like it’s heresy these days to even dare to suggest that Crosby is a good player, but not a great one. If you don’t acknowledge that he’s the next Gretzky, than woe betide you for going contrary to the almighty League’s master plan.
Buncha feckers. The game is bigger than Crosby, bigger even than Gretzky. Get over it.

I’m so glad to see Scuds back. That could have been nasty.
The only thing that really bothers me about that second goal is that it was Holmstrom who scored it. His entire game is parking his fat old ass in front of the goalie and moving his stick around, and then looking incredulously at the ref any time someone tries to move him. He’s good at it, so I guess I’ll give credit where it’s due, but still. I can’t stand the guy.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 11/11/08 at 07:56 PM ET
i like how these guys complain about how goals go in. may cindy should give parking his fat ass in front of the net and moving his stick around.

Reaction from Pens Blog after Homer’s (7th...as opposed to GBB’s 4th) goal:
next they’ll start saying the wings are clutch and grabbers. Maybe Michel will start crying in the press conference again.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 11/11/08 at 07:59 PM ET
Hey now, that’s not Homer’s entire game...you’re forgetting the bastardized pidgin Swenglish that not even his own teammates understand.
Metro Detroit will be lucky to have him after he retires.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/11/08 at 08:00 PM ET
The second should be exciting, as I see the Pens coming out and trying to “take the game to the Wings” and, as a result, taking themselves out of position and giving up two or three goals.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/11/08 at 08:01 PM ET
completely agree andrew. is he good? no doubt. but to crown the guy “the next one” is just ridiculous. make him earn his respect like everyone else.
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 11/11/08 at 08:01 PM ET
Awww Doc’ s gettin all ferklempt on us.....
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 11/11/08 at 08:03 PM ET
The game is bigger than Crosby, bigger even than Gretzky. Get over it.
Ask someone smart like The Professor. He’d tell you precisely that Andrew. Well fekkin said man.

Dub...I deleted the first three things I wrote.
BTW, you’ve got mail.

That schtuufff from the Pens blog just put beer out my nose.
Damn those little girls.

Well they made that look easy. Welcome back, Mule.

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
