Thanks to the Emperor for covering me the last few LBs, and thanks to all 19 of you for the patience. January was a slow-moving month on America’s Favorite Carrier and I already told you what February has in store for the weak-hearted Wing fan. I warned you. I told you what kind of pain was on the horizon.
And now it’s here. Jimmy says it could be two games but then I read it might be 4 weeks until Jimmy said it was more like two weeks he’s hoping because six weeks sucks the worst kind of ass. Seriously. We’re all dead in six weeks if that’s how long Tiberius Howard is out. Oh, and you want to trade for a backup goalie?
Don’t bother because whoever we get isn’t gonna be good enough to do the job we need done to get what belongs to us. Baby Jesus, that tiny tadpole of love, adores us but even he can’t guarantee or even decree a Cup if we’re down to a backup goalie some shitbag team was willing to deal in February. So…it’s James F. Howard or bust, and I’d prefer me some Jimmy if it’s all the same to you.
Transplants. Transplants galore in Gary’s hometown of Phoenix. They’re running amok, paying outrageous sums, drinking cheap beer and laying waste to the women of Glendale, if they’re single and clean…the transplants, that is.
It’s a Live Blog bitches.

Tonight’s the night Pavel breaks out of this mini-slump.

Smith’s pads are huge! Oversized IMO.

Lizard King with his magic stick. Ho-hum.

Did stripes just say “Whitey, hooking?”
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 02/06/12 at 11:16 PM ET
Of course, the PK of death will be tested right away.

THAT was a hook?
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Warm and sunny SoCal on 02/06/12 at 11:17 PM ET
If anything can make the Dogs #30 ranked PP better
it is DET’s PK
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 22 on 02/06/12 at 11:17 PM ET

A perfect example of Detroit dirty stick work that never gets called.

Are you sure? We’d better check with Edzo on that.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 02/06/12 at 11:19 PM ET
Brilliant
PK of death
PP of total ineptitude
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 22 on 02/06/12 at 11:20 PM ET
our pp is so bad, we give up shorties.
Posted by TheRealYooper from within sight of the edge of the Earth. on 02/06/12 at 11:21 PM ET
the Pathetic Play and the PK of Death. This team is going nowhere this year until they figure out how to play special teams.
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 02/06/12 at 11:21 PM ET
Yeesh Whitey.Too much sun today?
Posted by cigar_nurse from Greenville South Cakalakee on 02/06/12 at 11:22 PM ET
Wings PP continues to suck. Giving up a short handed goal? Way to make a lousy PP even worse.
Posted by HockeyFanOhio from Central Ohio on 02/06/12 at 11:22 PM ET
JMac great.
DET losing all the battles on the boards.

“I thought they had better jump than we did. I don’t think we came out with as much energy. It took us a couple of periods to get going.”
Rinse. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat.

You called it, Westie

The ice is the worst in the league. Slushy.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Typical start for the Wings, eh, my friends?
If not for Bubba and their goddam whistles, that coyote howl would be the most annoying thing in the NHL.

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.
