The Wings bounced back the other night and pulled off a win against a decent Wild team. Every player worked hard, and Lucas Raymond scored twice, potting his first two goals of the season. There will be 19 of us hoping for more of the same all around solid effort tonight.
The puck drops at 7 PM, and will be broadcast on Bally Sports Detroit Extra and the Red Wings Radio Network (97.1 The Ticket in Detroit). Also NHLPP/ESPN+.
It’s a Live Blog!
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.
KK 2.0 Update
The caching issue we were experiencing since launch appears to be fixed. You should notice new blog posts now appear for you without refreshing the page ad moving from page to page is much quicker.
Also, when you leave a comment, it now appears right in front of you instead of it landing at the top of the comments. This gives you the ability to edit or delete the comment quickly if needed plus it confirms the comment has been made.
A few more tweaks are coming but we had to get the caching issue under control first before moving to other items.
Thanks for making it happen for us Paul.
Looks to be working great PK !! Posts and embed picture link worked like a charm, and immediately.
That's what I want to hear, thanks RWB.
A scary scary Owwwooooooooooo Evenin Bitches !
I had counted out Erne also but damn hes grabbed his piece of cheese over the last several years. Lets see Veleno or anyone else claiming to fill the nets with pucks try to unseat him.
Age is just a number? Trying doing some deep knee bends!
I think shes a bit old for me, my formula is half my age minus 7 years. Most people say half plus 7, but why not go for the gusto.
And by the way, the number she is looking for is USD$500,000.
And I actually dont trust them.
My predictions for tonight: Erne scores 5 goals, Hronek assists on all five and Husso gets a shut-oot from the bench. L.G.R.W.
It is Beefalo, so your spidey instincts could be right on.
Im at the end of my driveway trying to hand out Halloween candy but not many coming around tonight, so far. Light sprinkle and cloud cover gives us an unusually warm evening. If no one comes soon Imma move inside and leave the front door light on and watch the game from inside.
Imma having this image of you asking Do you want some candy? as Karen Newman runs at lightning speed in the other direction.😉😄😄😄 You know Im just kidding RW😉
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
You are closer to the truth than you know.
Good plan.
Heya yall! I have no predictions for tonight. Im a wait and see kinda gal.😉
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
I thought my "Husso gets a shut-oot from the bench" was a dead giveaway. I've learned not to predict. It only leads to disappointment.
That makes sense, the Wings are like a box of chocolates, you never know what youre going to get, even period to period, and once in a while they reveal a rancid nut.
Happy Halloween ya degens! I like Adam Erne but having him on the first line is frightening.
PooBah in the House!
Thanks Kate.
😉Winky Mickey is in the building tonight. Thank you PooBah.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
This game could be scary.
Gotta give it to Luff. If I got hit in the teeth by a 90 mph puck Id still be whimpering.
Uncle Lalonde.
Howdy 19. Looking forward to a good tough game against a worthy division opponent. Seider gets his first tonight. LGRW
Working well Paul. Thanks for all the hard work.
This is great Paul. Thank you.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Buffalo keeps setting up shop. Were one and done so far.
Wow, I thought there might be more Detroit fans that might fill it in a bit.
Wow, that's pathetic. I'm sure Halloween is partly to blame but... yeesh.
Michiganders dont relocate to the snow belt. They move here and the sun belt.
Aye and for sure CN. Eff that snow!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
How the shit did he get that puck?
That shift was ugly.
0-1 You could see it coming.
Boooo!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
poop
Sumbitch
Bah. Elmer. Ya gotta hit these guys and stop the poke and hope.
Leading up to that goal was like a power play. Could not get it oot.
I see almost as much red as blue in the stands.
Game management.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Four on Foreplay !!!
Time to change strategy. The dump and chase not working. Speed speed speed. LGRW
Have you ever noticed how terms change as we get older?
A woman is not a waitress, she's a server.
A man is not a clown, he's a pedophile. Go figure.
I cant stop laughing 😆 its just funny 😆
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Its funny cuz its true!
You can build 1000 houses
. That's the point that went right over my head.
1-1 Maatta.
Whats a Maata with you?
Maatta!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Hello Maata!
Whats a Matta!
They are still allowing Buffalo to cycle way too much.
1-2 Yep.
poop
Uhhhh. The wings are making these guys look better than theyre playing.
Booooooo!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Nedeljkovic!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Someone waved Riley Sheahan? Thats a mistake to do that early in the season. He really really catches fire about game 81.
I was thinking about Tinky as a comparison to Zadina before anyone mentioned his name.
Spooky..
KH will pick him up.
Haha
Owen Power has a +45 rating, with that team!!!!??
Just back from the traditional sloppy joe Halloween dinner. Quite appropriate for the sloppy d zone play.
I honor of the holiday, I want to take this chance to nickname Zadina: Casper the friendly ghost. Just an invisible, non-threatening cold spot in the lineup.
He may well end up a throw-in on a trade deadline deal.
All things equal, Id rather have Smith in the lineup.
1-3 Bad.
Now Im really gonna start drinking
Jeebuz! Booooo!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Tres poop
Two Sabres left alone in front of Ned. Two easy goals against.
Sumbitch. Seider gives up the puck there and nobody else in front of the net.
Skinnnnerrrrrrr!
I remember when he was 18.
Like, yesterday?
And then he had that song,
"Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around, anyhow"
Haha
OK I thought I was going crazy.
owen Power was +45 at Michigan.
however he is +3 with the Sabres, not an easy feat.
I cant take it!
Wings starting to look a lot like last years squad.
Really should be a down arrow.
1-4 Shut the door,.
Sumbitch.
Boys your goalie cannot stop an uncontested shot from 8 feet away. Cripes.
Buffalo is gonna win big off of a really tentative effort. Shaking my head. This is the team we should be measuring up against.
Perron!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Perron!1
Perron makes us look good.
2-4.
Perron
I've always liked the movie 'The Picture of Dorian Gray'.
Because it never gets old.
Keep getting interrupted by the trick or treaters. Missed the last 3 goals. WTH?
I believe its time to break up the Seider Chariot pairing. Its not working oot as expected.
I'd be inclined to stick with the trick or treaters. Does anybody still say "Help the poor!" anymore?
Nope.
Gawd, we grew up in a really different era. How lucky we were.
I agree
32 shots to 15. This really is reminiscent of last years team.
Ned says JFC if you guys arent gonna put a body on somebody, I will
3-4 Larkin shortie.
Lucky Larkin! 3-4
Larks!
I didnt have one trick or treater tonight😕
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Me neither. But I'm 6000 ft. up on the side of a mountain. :)
Chilly nights?
They're a comin' tomorrow night.
D-Boss!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Cut across Shorty!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Larks with a gratuitous play from another Michigan alumni. Nice shortie. One shot game now. LGRW
Seider is the man! Great keep in.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Well I shut off the computer and had given up on this game and then Larkin scores. I fell asleep in the second. i did notice Buff has painted boards not the techno annoyance ads.
I usually shit 'on' the computer but to each their own. :)
Lol you were the only one to see that. I used the edit to fix it. Woohooo!
4 years and 2 days since Larkins last shortie.
Does Detroit get to go on the power play at some point?
To start the 4th Period.
Four on Foreplay!
There are lots of empty blue seats there tonight.
WTH?
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
For sure, Kate, I was thinking today how I would get on my bike and take off for the afternoon as long as I was back around dinner time or before sunset.
Be home when the street lights come on. We were good kids too.
Always had to be home by the time the street lights came on.
Sumbitch, after all those great saves.
3-5 That should do it.
Fuch it! Bad Ned!
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Oh Ned. That shouldnt have happened.
3-6 Reminds me of last year. Same old same old.
FFS!
Oh are you Fuching kidding me, 6?
41 shots to 17 for this Buffalo powerhouse.
Ned shouldve had that last one.
Everyone is excused. This is such bullshit.
4:14 more! I think I can make it.
Jebus. If there wasnt just 5 minutes left, hed be pulled. Hell at this point,we may as well pull him for an empty net.
Indeed.
Well the Wings made an also ran team making an average effort look like champions. Dont like the one sided reffing either, but thats beside the point. Shitty performance.
See you next time pals.
Oh FFS 7!
3-7 Buffalo looks like a playoff team against the slow poke Red Wings.
I appreciate the Wings of yesteryear but the future is now. Celebrate today, not 25 years ago.
Bad
Embarrassed the Wings players
I can hardly wait to take on the Capitals.
Fuching bunch of chokers
3-8 May be the worst game of the season.
8!!!!!
They might make 10 in the last 40 seconds.
Later19. Sorry, I cant take it anymore
What the hell. May as well give up 8. A snowman.
Good Lord is was 4:3 late in the period.
It was like they gave up after Ned gave up the crappy 5 th goal.
Until Wednesday? Good night 19.
