Joel Quenneville just can’t get enough can he? After years perfectly playing a specific role with two teams we’ve consistently and enjoyably destroyed...he’s been selected to lead “the next rival.”
Selected by who(m)?
We can assume can’t we? Sure we can. You know who it was. Scotty. And for that? You are still our hero.
Exactly. Back for a reprise? It’s Joel “Jody Girl” Quenneville, starring as...Wing Bitch.
Hence the post title for a game that doesn’t include Chicago. Don’t worry. I’ll be bringing it back.
On to tonite. An early beginning to the Live Blog, which I know you enjoy. I get DirectTV tomorrow. The day that all returns to normal after something like 16 months without hockey on a big fat screen. But tonite?
I’m still screwed. Hey, anybody got a link to a feed?

The Highlander penned his thoughts on the probable line combos:
Holmstrom-Datsyuk-Hossa
Franzen-Filppula-Samuelsson
Hudler-Draper-Cleary
Kopecky-Helm-Maltby
Hope to catch up with the “19” later tonite!! Bitches!!

Over/Under on Canucks’ shots on goal: 5
If the Caps held them to 10, I don’t think they’ll even see the offensive zone tonight.

Joel Quenneville just can’t get enough can he?
Specially after you let em go on that whole DUI thing last month......ungrateful SOB!

Over/Under on Canucks’ shots on goal: 5
Are you nuts? Fabian Brunnstrom’s on fire! He’s going to put at least 15 shots on goal for the Canucks…
What’s that?
Oh…
Oh well. Enjoy the game tonight kids...I’ll be pointing at people in the crowd at Buffett imagining one of them is Rumbear.

Thanks Nate. You continue to rule.
Rummy, I plead ignorance. I was so far out of it I had no idea. I feel dirty.

Lidstrom owns ceremonial faceoffs. I’ve never seen him lose one.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/16/08 at 06:34 PM ET
Aww, Luongo didnt take the face-off
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 06:34 PM ET
No worries Chief, we all thought you wer ‘e going all Lady Byng on us.
Gabe, I texted ya my seat assignment.....if I get hit with something!!
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 10/16/08 at 06:37 PM ET
Love how the nascar ads show more crashes and chicks in short shorts than actual racing.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 06:37 PM ET
I think Lids lost a ceremonial faceoff in Denver on one of their monthly “Ray Bourque Nights”. However, it was because he held his stick upside down in protest.
Posted by Tyler from Lansing on 10/16/08 at 06:40 PM ET
I’m liking the Helm, Kopecky(tsky), Maltby line.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/16/08 at 06:45 PM ET
Maybe its the feed, but this game doesn’t seem to have any pace yet. H/D/H almost made things exciting.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 06:46 PM ET
Well there’s a shitty goal, but even that had no pace.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 06:47 PM ET
2nd line acts like a PP, and suddenly we get one. I like it.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 06:49 PM ET
Whats up Chief
Long time reader, first time poster.
Just wanted to give u a shout out from up here at NMU where we’re already drinking cuz Zetterberg’s out!
Posted by WildcatWingFan from Marquette on 10/16/08 at 06:49 PM ET
Ok, I’m on board. Sammy just proved he can’t play the point.
Posted by monkey from Waiting for the lambs to stop screaming on 10/16/08 at 06:49 PM ET
Vancouver: 1 shot 1 goal. Bastards......
Posted by Jockey full of bourbon on 10/16/08 at 06:54 PM ET
Wow, that’s a screwed up ruling.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 06:55 PM ET
jeebus. Ozzy getting zero luck today.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 06:58 PM ET
another crappy goal, frick!!!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 10/16/08 at 06:58 PM ET
That migh’ve gone off Kronner’s Krotch.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 06:59 PM ET
Sammy’s passing is getting as sharp as his shots.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/16/08 at 07:00 PM ET
Sammy starts some shit, Franzen looks to finish it.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 07:09 PM ET
This is not an exciting game. Not especially clean either. Babs got some barking to do?
On the bright side, Lilja has made some solid defensive plays.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 07:17 PM ET
Hossa is pissing me off.
Score, you bitch. Zetterberg is out.
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 10/16/08 at 07:17 PM ET
So, to recap, the difference-maker in this one was scored during some weird kind of time warp? How can Raffi go to the box if Homer scored before he committed the trip?
Screwy’s an understatement- that call re-wrote the friggin’ laws of physics!!! Welcome to Newton’s Four Law of Stupidity…
Hopefully we find our bal- er, focus, here in the second…

Kopy gonna drop em one of these days?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Kopy gonna drop em one of these days?
My guess is no. Dallas Drake he most definitely ain’t. He’s just keeping Ville Leino’s seat warm…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/16/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Either the Joe is really quiet tonite, or the FSN crew has the rink mics all over the place. Lotsa game noise and chatter.
And Cleary with the breakaway straight out of the box!
Also, where is everyone? Am I talking to myself?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 07:52 PM ET
Chris Osgood’s your starter. I’m just sayin’. What a save.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/16/08 at 07:54 PM ET
Wizardry!
what a save. what is it about getting older and appreciating the saves more than the goals?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 10/16/08 at 07:54 PM ET
I was just waiting to see when you were going to ask yourself that Nate.
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 10/16/08 at 07:55 PM ET
Wow, nice replay Ozy. You’re forgiven for those early goals.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 07:56 PM ET
Another great shift from the fourth. And a drawn penalty.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/16/08 at 07:58 PM ET
How are you going to send Helm back down if he continues to play like he is?
Posted by calquake on 10/16/08 at 07:58 PM ET
I was just waiting to see when you were going to ask yourself that Nate.
Ha, thanks for that. When I start muttering you’ll know the insanity has ratcheted up to full.
Hossa is not being the required trigger man.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/16/08 at 07:59 PM ET

Good question. You don’t.

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
