Striving For Mediocrity,Kenny

There's one team in the East. One.

It's Tampa and everyone else. So, essentially, as we move toward the cruel winter months (it's 68 in Florida as I write this), the goal is not just to make the playoffs. No, Kenny, the goal is to get the 7 seed. Because the first round is a bye for Steve Yzerman's team, the team he manages now because you, Kenny, wouldn't, you know, leave the job you've proven incapable of doing anymore.

Tampa and, probably, Pittsburgh. And then everyone else.

Tampa and Pittsburgh and, maybe, Toronto, the team coached, Kenny, by Mike Babcock because he didn't want to coach this team anymore because, you know, you don't have the ability to bring anyone to Detroit anymore.

Tampa, Pittsburgh, Toronto and the rest of us

So, every game matters. Honestly. Every game must be viewed on a playoff-like level, Kenny. Because if you want to start your streak again, games against the Sabres, at home, need to be had.

It's a Live Blog, Kenny. It's a Live blog with some bitches.

LGRW, Kenny. LGRW and here's to you. Here's to you on a lawn chair, with black socks and a big hat, a fruity drink in your hand and a Judy Blume book on your lap, dozing away your afternoon in the Keys. Next November, along with all the other retired senior citizens.

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.
