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.

That was a brilliant play by Huds to get it to Mule and a great job burying it!

MUUUUUUULE!
In perfect position to tap in the inevitable ten-foot rebound that Fleury gives up...beautiful.

That right there is the textbook description of a yawning net.

Fresh ice. League’s best PP. Uh oh
and again

J.M.F. Franzen in his first game back!
And what a play by Hudler to make it happen.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 11/11/08 at 08:06 PM ET
That makes beer out the nose very much worth it.
PP WIngs again? Gary still alive?

“youth being tested on the blueline”
What a load of crap. You can’t praise the Pens for being one of the better defensive teams in the league and then blame their youth when things don’t go right..
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 11/11/08 at 08:09 PM ET
Lotsa puck to play, shift by shift boys. 30-40 seconds at a time and win the small battles...... c’mon.

...free candy?
Heh… you’re a cold one Gabe.
Mail received, thanks. All is well, super hectic, the woman totaled her rig (she’s sore but fine and NOT her fault) and it has ben a nightmare logistically since she won’t drive the humongo Envoy XLT or my 5.9 Jeep. So I’ve been playing taxi 20 miles twice a day on top of 6 classes.
I think I now fully understand the true meaning of the word neurotic.
Other than that, I’m peachy.

Those shoes don’t fit well on the other feet, do they?

aghhh.... crap.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/11/08 at 08:11 PM ET
So...PP two for two, on our first two opportunities...did I mention that I’d be willing to give my left nut in order to keep all three of Z, Hossa, and Mule after June ‘09?
Still, great PK’ing and great defense from the newly backchecking superstar Pens.
BTW, thanks for the props guys. Just pissed off at a League that hypes the hell out of undeserving personality kids.
Aaaaand...dammit.

I’ll make that a second.....
Just sayin.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/11/08 at 08:12 PM ET
A goal in this game means you get a PP within a minute or so.... WTF

Matt Cooke is a weenie - I predict he’ll lay a dirty hit and then scurry away mouthing off waiting for the official to get between him and whoever.
Posted by HockeyJoe from Upstate New York on 11/11/08 at 08:14 PM ET
Gotta give the Birds a chance to tie this up, right Gary?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/11/08 at 08:14 PM ET
Freaking A… that was a pretty awesome play from Hoss.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/11/08 at 08:15 PM ET
Man...Hossa. I started laughing as soon as he picked it up off the dasher. It would have been just plain funny.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 11/11/08 at 08:15 PM ET
Holy shit, if ”Mule” wasn’t taken, #81 would be a great candidate.
Wow.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 11/11/08 at 08:15 PM ET
Man. I’d be tempted to say we registered more shots on goal than them in that PK.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/11/08 at 08:17 PM ET
can’t think of 2 worse guys for z to be on a 3-2 with than malts and lilja
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 11/11/08 at 08:17 PM ET

Talk about a one-man show. That was fugly. Worse, Lilja didn’t just jump on the bench and switch off with someone who has talent.
Posted by HockeyJoe from Upstate New York on 11/11/08 at 08:19 PM ET
Ah, tradition. Hossa likes it, the Pens didn’t have it.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 11/11/08 at 08:20 PM ET

Well not on our roster anyway
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/11/08 at 08:20 PM ET
Ah geez.... Another close one for Hoss.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 11/11/08 at 08:21 PM ET

Yeah, go to JLA and look up.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/11/08 at 08:21 PM ET
Seriously, first game I saw at JLA was Wings end EDM to open the 02 season… and I sat in the furthest row right behind the goal. All I could see was banners...... and banners............ and banners.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 11/11/08 at 08:22 PM ET
i totally just noticed that the background for the enzyte commercial is a piece of wood. genius.
Posted by rwingscup19 from Dallas on 11/11/08 at 08:24 PM ET
Was about to mention how cool it is to have so many of the 19 here for the blog...was all emotional for a second and wasn’t sure why. Then I counted the empties in front of me.
...
...I love you guys…

Dispose of the bodies Gabe.....

Good lord that makes me feel so old. My first game was at the old Olympia sometime around 1975. I was only 5 then… but I remember that the “suites” were so small that you could only fit about 8 people and that the boxes hung over the concourse so you could actually buy ice cream from the vendors walking around below you.

Only don’t forget to give ‘em all smiley faces and Groucho glasses first.

It’s good to be with the 19.

Gabe, I have loads of bleach, lime and shovels…
Lemme know.

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
