Enjoy The Moment

If there's one thing to be said about the Wings this season, it's that they're fun to watch again. Not boring, not slow and old, and not the inevitable feeling of dread that we've all come to know in the last few seasons. These games are actually entertaining, and exciting.
Larkin is back in the lineup tonight, T-Bert is on fire, and, the youngsters are really putting on a good showing so far.
Yes, there is plenty of room for improvement, and that will come in time, but for right now let's just enjoy the moment, and have a good time. I do realize it's only game three in a long season, but, bring it on!
It's a Live Blog!

Let’s hope the Red Wings hold Columbus to less than 40 shots.

I really like Ras’ game. Hoping he gets rewarded with some goals soon.

Lame Intermission Joke: Because of Covid I had to tell my suitcase no vacation this year. Now I’m dealing with emotional baggage.

That was enjoyable, especially compared to just wince-worthy discussion I’m used to with Detroit Tiger broadcasts.
At the risk of using language out of the late 2000s A2Y, Lidstrom is one guy I would give a courtesy reacharound to.
Posted by RWBill on 10/19/21 at 08:48 PM ET
Yeah I don’t know these numbers either. I think Greiss is the one with the full mask.

He’d stick check you before you’d even get close.

No problems with any language here, RW. This is our safe room.
Panic room too…..

That’s why it’s called the “Hasek”.
Posted by calquake on 10/19/21 at 09:03 PM ET
Not good when they can’t score on a 5 on 3 for a minute and a half.

Ha ha. I don’t know if Chief Houlihan came up with all of these nicknames but he was one creative sumbitch. Linking the mental state of The 19 to the frenetic play of Hasek was genius.
Posted by RWBill on 10/19/21 at 09:06 PM ET
The Hasek is the 19’s sanctuary.
We got nuthin on a long 5 on 3. Keep grinding boys. LGRW

Do this is what it’s like to outshoot by 20 instead of being on the bad end.

Just read a crazy thing. Supposedly Nixon unknowingly carried Louie Armstrong”s suitcase full of weed through customs when he was Vice President. Must be true. I read it on the internet. Bonjour.

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.
