GDT - Game 26: Red Wings (12-9-4) host Blue Jackets (9-12-4) 5:00

03/10/2013 at 9:52am EDT

Yesterdays tilt with the BJ's was a gawd-awful mess. Really, how does a man get abused by BJ's? Uncle Mike obviously doesn't know either, as this is the second occurance of the sky falling: “I thought we were bad,'' Babcock said. “Why was that? Was that mental prep? Was that the coach never got any messages across? Lack of preparation? Did we practice too long yesterday? I don't know any of the answers to those things. But, the bottom line is we weren't mentally prepared to play hard enough and long enough to have success.''

Yea Mike, I thought your team was bad too, embarassingly so (I blame Jacskon Browne). And let's beat a dead horse some more; 0-36 road PP (and 0-13 overall in past 6 tilts). Hell's bells, you can pot at least one by accident.

For whatever reason, the Wings are a totally different team playing on the Mean Streets of DET. The BJ's own the worst road-record in the league. Time for a little pay-back, eh?

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.
