Saturday night? That was the first Lang fight. The Stallion showed a glimpse of push-back the first twenty seconds and then he was overwhelmed by the sheer, animal strength of the hungry challenger. Don't forget. Clubber Lang lived alone, trained alone, ate alone, washed alone, raised pigeons alone and said horrible things to Adrian at an event that was supposed to be Rocky's Big Day.
And then he laid waste to Balboa. Demoralized him.
Unlike Rocky III, perhaps the greatest true story in modern boxing history, I have little hope of a miracle.
Holy hell. It wasn't just a "fail to compete," or a lot of lost "puck battles". There was no competition and there was no battle. That Blues team is really good. And our Wings team is really, really mediocre. Slow. We looked plodding compared to Clubber Lang.
I offer you no hope for 12. Not now. Not after that. Mickey's dead. Adrian's lost faith. All is lost.
Appollo? We need you. And bring that fat drunk Paulie with you.
It's a Live Blog. With BJs.

3 bars in Columbus in under two minutes ... And we’re not talking about OSU athletes.

So far, I actually don’t mind Camolaserglow. I’d certainly replace C(Q)hauncey with Lashoff and roll with Big E.

Quarts of baby shit looking great on those highlights.

Man, Detroit needs to make a trade for some Dmen!

Z deserves some one who can finish.
Posted by shanetx from Floydada, Texas on 01/21/13 at 09:06 PM ET
Jesus sick pass Christ.
Brunner’s going to finish one or two of these.

We get it Marve. Three shots hit the goal posts.

William Tell with a riser….shocking

Gotta give ‘em credit. Wings vs. BJs = Blues vs. Wings. Except for the score and all.

Brunner looks like this generaton’s Bill Lochhead. Lots of flash, not much cash.
Posted by Colquhoun on 01/21/13 at 09:08 PM ET
Samuelsson and “fires wide” is going to be a common refrain this year. As it was in the past.
All that was old will be new again. Sigh.

Nice analogy but it’s a bit early don’cha think?
Posted by calquake on 01/21/13 at 09:09 PM ET
So an elbow to the face is acceptable on Tootoo?
Okay, amateur hour for the guys in stripes. Fair enough.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/21/13 at 09:09 PM ET
Samuelsson and “fires wide”
There is that - - but at least he fuching shoots
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 01/21/13 at 09:09 PM ET
Tootoo - - me like
That was a great shift, wasn’t it?
Going to end up liking this guy despite myself.

Posted by redxblack from Akron Ohio on 01/21/13 at 08:05 PM ET
Well, they do have a 1st round pick again this year.
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 01/21/13 at 09:10 PM ET
Tootoo - - me like
So far, I have to agree.

No, I really don’t. And I hope after last game’s live blog you are not singling me out for a “rush to judgement”
Posted by Colquhoun on 01/21/13 at 09:11 PM ET
Should have been a charging penalty when the guy left his feet jumping into Tootoo.
Shanahan should review the penalty against Smith too if they want to protect players. Shanny won’t suspend anyone unless a player is injured.

DET with a forecheck - - pinch me
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 01/21/13 at 09:13 PM ET
Eh, I forgot to propose the “Mentioning ‘Lidstrom’ and/or Douche Canoe mentioning ‘Junior hockey’ ” drinking game…
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/21/13 at 09:13 PM ET

Sadly, I think you’re right about that.
Posted by WestWing from Portland, Oregon on 01/21/13 at 09:14 PM ET
And a Mule sighting at the net - - all in less than 5 minutes - - just wow
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 01/21/13 at 09:14 PM ET
Thier pass selection is just atrocious
Posted by 42jeff from Minot, North Dakota on 01/21/13 at 09:14 PM ET
So far, my top 2 candidates for buyouts: Samuelsson and Quarter-pound of cow shit.
Posted by RedMenace from aboard the Crazy Train on 01/21/13 at 09:16 PM ET
Hey 42Jeff you got any pics of that ginger in the Wendy’s commercial?
Posted by RWBill from the open bar on The Hasek. on 01/21/13 at 09:17 PM ET
Bush league.

Moi? Never, but I am withholding my judgement until at least 10 games in.
Posted by calquake on 01/21/13 at 09:17 PM ET
25 - - Emmeton - - Dude, really?
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 01/21/13 at 09:17 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.
