Gambling In The Neon…It’s All About The Road From Here On In

And for the first time ever, Jackson Browne makes a Live Blog appearance. Okie will get the reference. Kate might too. RWBill also. Actually, all you bastards (and bastardettes) are older than me. You should all get it. Except for Herm, who's still like 16 which makes what we did with H2H disgusting and illegal.
The storyline from this point forward is going to be incredibly simple: If the Wings win on the road they're in. If they don't, the streak stops at 21. That simple. We've all read about what a great job our Uncle Mike has done with an injury-depleted lineup. The Diggers are writing daily manifestos, pledging their love and everlasting allegiance to their very own Joe Carroll. And now that Justin Abdelkader scored a clutch, skilled, late-game goal the other night in the most tense of all situations? You, we, I have nothing to bitch about. Validation for Mike Babcock. By all means, keep that checking line together.
Oh, I'm posting this early because I predict Darren Helm plays today and when it's announced I want to look smart.
But it's the road. The Road. That's going to determine our joy quotient the rest of the way. JB (not the JB mentioned above but that's a nifty coincidence) will explain below. It's a Live Blog, bitches.

DET imploding against CBJ = deja vu
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 22 on 03/09/13 at 04:16 PM ET
next three goals are huge ...

Since the Wings don’t seem to have any offense today you would think Babs would maybe make some line changes? But nnnoooooooo…
Posted by calquake on 03/09/13 at 04:18 PM ET
Did I just see Pavs, Emmerton, and Miller?
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Ken’s excited call of the scrum in front of the CBJ net tells you all you need to know about this stinker.

Let’s Go Red Wings!!!!!

So the wings open up the second half of the season the way they started the regular season.. Like Garbage.

DET don’t start winning on the road, they’ll be golfing early - - says Capt. Obvious

The Dmen are screwing up royal today.
Posted by RWBill from the open bar on The Hasek. on 03/09/13 at 04:26 PM ET
The whole team looks flat and disinterested.
Posted by calquake on 03/09/13 at 03:25 PM ET
I blame Badcock. Then again, I blame Badcoxk for everything.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 03/09/13 at 04:27 PM ET
Franzen out with Cleary and Pavs.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 03/09/13 at 04:28 PM ET
Paul Wood said the BJs are also doing a good job containing our 3rd and 4th lines.
Posted by MsRedWinger from Flori-duh on 03/09/13 at 04:28 PM ET
Hey all, just tuning in and I’ve got audio only. Do they look as bad as the LB and Mick and Ken make them sound?
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 03/09/13 at 04:30 PM ET
mick not happy aboot the callS ...
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 03/09/13 at 04:30 PM ET
How come diving never gets called in Detroit’s favor?
Posted by Bent from The U.P. on 03/09/13 at 04:31 PM ET
Unsportsmanlike? Abby took a dive? Really?
Posted by MsRedWinger from Flori-duh on 03/09/13 at 04:31 PM ET
Badcock is punishing everyone today. Abby out with Z and Brunner. And he gets the gate to boot. The zebras are EXTRA SUCKY today.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 03/09/13 at 04:31 PM ET
Preach on Mick. That’s a fact.
Prolly shoulda been just a dive.
Posted by ITDeuce from The Land of Ice and Snow on 03/09/13 at 04:32 PM ET
Columbus guy does a 360 on a hold, but only now is a dive going to be called. Right….
Posted by Valek on 03/09/13 at 04:33 PM ET
I blame Badcock. Then again, I blame Badcoxk for everything.
Love ya cosmic dust woman 
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 22 on 03/09/13 at 04:33 PM ET

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: wphoulihan@gmail.com
WHAT?
