All I'll say is this: there was a logical choice for a guy with a job like mine, whose national priorities are fairly clear. I made my choice, didn't discuss my choice on facebook, opting to post pictures of PBR cans and miserable Chief Selectees the last few months. I voted. I do not believe my candidate will win and I believe this country will be worse for the choice of the majority.

And that is honestly all I'm going to say about that.

As for the other issue preying on our minds? Not. Much. Better.

I predicted last month that James Tiberius Howard would be this team's starting goaltender by Christmas. Obviously, I stand by that.

Part of that prediction, causing a few of you to say mean things to me, is that I believe that if this team needs to move someone to improve us by a wide margin, then Petr Mrazek should be a candidate to be dealt.

I do not believe now that any trade can help this team. Re-phrase: I don't believe Ken Holland has the ability to make a trade that could significantly help this team.

So a deal involving Mrazek probably won't happen.

The other part of my prediction focused on this: Howard is more consistent. More consistently good. Not great. Just good. He is and he has been this year.

He's our starting goaltender on 8 November and I believe he will be the rest of the year.

A year that could very easily trend very badly if the ship isn't righted.

That six game winning streak was like four years ago, wasn't it?

It's a Live Blog, bitches. For every reason stated above, from word 1 onward, drink up.

The shit show is here.

LGRW.

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.
