Norman Dale said that in 1954, addressing a restless crowd a few nights before the Hickory Huskers opened their season against Terhune, a turbulent loss that featured Dale putting 4 men on the floor as a testament to "system."
Jimmy Chitwood watched that pep rally from an isolated corner of the bleachers, with the intention of sitting out the season because Myra Fleener, the homely, bitter, teacher who'd informally adopted him, thought it best.
"This is your team," said a defiant Dale.
This is your team, Wing fans.
There is no Chitwood coming, no Trouba, Fowler or anyone else.
This is the team we have been dealt by a hapless Ken Holland.
They'll be streaky, teasing, taunting.
Don't forget to set your clocks back...
...like 8 years.
It's a Live Blog, bitches. LGRW.
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.
