Let The Spectacle Of A Wing/Leaf Throwdown Distract You From The Fact That This League Is A Joke

Negotiating ploy, posturing, a whole load of crap…whatever it is, the shrivs are at it again and the ones paying the price are those of us stupid enough to have believed something cool like the realignment couldn’t be ruined by the likes of Gary. Ass and his band of idiots.
George has it all here and will most likely tackle this more thoroughly than anyone else, because he’s Malik and that’s what Malik does. Winging it in Motown nailed it late last night too.
I will not be writing about it anytime soon because it sickens me and I only like talking about things that make me happy.
James F. Howard is going for his 100th win and the Wings are playing well. By the time you read this the whole subject we won’t speak of might be resolved because it’s 0932 your time on game day, 1932 my time the day after (figure that shit out) and I’m pre-posting this bad boy.
It’s a Live Blog, bitches. Enjoy this one because you may not get another Wing/Laugh LB for a while if the dickheads have their way.

Totally unrelated: Why is it more expensive wine usually tastes worse? Is my palette simply that unrefined?

Too many variables to give you a good answer. More expensive should taste better… but not always. I usually tell people not to worry about terms like “fruit- forward” or “buttery”. Drink what tastes good to you.

Being in the wine business I think I can answer that one. There are some wines that I often refer to as “*#$%@& wines”—expensive and made for suckers.

Sorry that should read d*ckhead wines.

Well, when I refer to “more expensive,” I mean “$10 a bottle.” Normally I drink the CHEAP shit from the high-volume “wineries.”

Wings had some of RedMenace wine prior to that Power Play.

I am hanging in here. I will switch back and forth between the Lions and Wings, but, for the most part, I will stay with the Wings.
Go Lions!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

We need to talk.
Uh-oh, in my experience, no good covnersation ever started that way.

Kate, if you want to make this a Lions LB, please warn me before you do so… 
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/07/12 at 11:13 PM ET
These announcers are the worst homers ever. I know the Wings have not been very Wing like tonite, but come on.
Jeebus how many time are they going to say old and speed?
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

We really find out who the hard core Wings fans are on nights like this.
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 01/07/12 at 11:15 PM ET

Sometimes I think the “H” in “HNIC” stands for “Homer.”
Man, that was a lot of quotation marks. Here are some more, just for posterity: ” “”” ” ” “”“” ” ” “”“”“” “”“”“”“”“”“”“”“”” “

And we’ll take that. Let’s keep it going, boys.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/07/12 at 11:16 PM ET
Drink what tastes good to you.
All I can add to that universal truth is the word “often”

Yes, directly overhead is the best option to check the height of a stick.
Idiots.
Yeah, octopi.

Mick thinks it’s a good goal. Thas not a good sign
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 01/07/12 at 11:19 PM ET
Kronwall making the play at the blueline. None of that happens without him making the diving effort.

Had I not know better I would have thought the Leafs were leading the league in points and were the fastest team in the history of the NHL.
Posted by Valek on 01/07/12 at 11:20 PM ET
Good Goal, Thanks Reviewers! Wings on the Board 1-3.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Little Redhead from the Engineer's chair on 01/07/12 at 11:21 PM ET
Much more shoot. Me likey.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 01/07/12 at 11:21 PM ET
Gustavsson is looking REALLY shaky right now… keep peppering him, Wings.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/07/12 at 11:22 PM ET
Woah, nice plays from Kindl, Bert needs to bury that tho.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 01/07/12 at 11:23 PM ET

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

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.

Grapes talking about goal scorers riding their sticks are calling them classless… well Don maybe you don’t remember Tiger Williams who used to do it after nearly every goal he scored. What a richard.
