The Wings have lost horrendously to the two worst teams in hockey. Consecutive waterboardings. Disgusting.
So, tonite, against the team I believe to be the best in the Western Conference?
Tick Tock and Uncle Mike are starting a rookie because our other rookie (McCollum..is he even technically a rookie?) literally "terrifies" the organ-I-zation, and James Tiberius Howard is exhausted.
Our blue line is decimated and our third line can't score. The fourth line has been instructed to let themselves get hit like Rudy Frigging Stein. Do not shoot. Do not swing. Do not make any offensive gestures. Engelbert's on deck and he's been killing the ball lately.
The Wings beat the Blues last time out after David Backes was tossed due to a clean check to a Detroit tummy. He's going to be angry. The whole team is going to be absolutely frantic. The crowd, amped up on Pall Malls and Ten High whiskey, will be quiet only long enough to swap tongues with whatever relative is on their immediate left.
The opponent. The atmosphere. The Wings, themselves.
All signs point to the worst regular season defeat in Detroit Hockey History.
Two goals for Datsyuk. One for Wally and one for Charlie by God Buckets.
Wings win 4-2.

For a kid that “doesn’t get nervous” he sure looked nervous.

I love Mrazek’s lateral movement… he’s soooooo quick.

Cleary, Bucket Brigade! Good work up front.
Posted by RWBill from the open bar on The Hasek. on 02/07/13 at 09:16 PM ET
Wow, that’s a nice change of pace. Good passing and puck retrieval by Tatar and Cleary. Abdelkader supervised that well.

We should be 6-2-1 going into this game in 4th place. jeezus really blew 4 points the last 2 games.

Chief predicts something and it comes true. I predict a game score last game and the exact opposite comes true. I guess that’s why you have your own little corner of this empire. I bow to you.

Hmmm. Buckets scored. Interesting.

Don’t know aboot you, but I could have gone all night without reading (on FSD) that one of Mrazek’s heroes is the Flower.

Poor Kindl is trying to hard.

Don’t let that head of yours get stuck going through the doorway.

Imagine the Czechs and Slovaks combining to make one team. They were consistently the only country that could challenge the Soviets.

Broooner has a nose for the puck.

She said that also.
Posted by RorSchach from Datsberg on 02/07/13 at 09:25 PM ET
I don’t know what to think of this feeling of scoring first, it’s so… unusual.

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
It is kinda sad when the pregame thoughts running through your head - - question if the Wings will even show up tonight.

Don’t they have an ointment for that?
