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.
Kubalik, Raymond and Lalonde after today's practice.

Is tomorrows game a TNT exclusive game? Was planning on going to a friends house to watch but he only has espn+ hulu for games so now the whole party plan is farked. Thanks Gary.
TNT is it.
Thanks. Turns out TNT is on Hulu so all set actually.
Yzerman should of traded Chiarot
With 3 years left on his contract, I doubt there was any interest. He isn't a top pair defensemen but can certainly play a role going forward even if the $$$ is a bit too high.

This team is soft and your answer is to trade 1 of the 2 (Seider being the other) guys that throws the body?
Chiarot is a 2nd pair minute-eater. He's got to be over 20 mins/game and have at least 100 hits and 125 blocks on the year.
Disagree. Chiarot is the type of player who excels in the postseason when the whistles get swallowed.
He is soft in the neutral zone and has a high turnover rate . He is physical mostly on the boards.he was overpaid and giving too long of a term.
Youre right but that doesnt mean some other team is necessarily going to pay for SYs mistake. Not how it works.
Valid point.
from Helene St. James of the Detroit Free Press,
The Detroit Red Wings enter their next game, Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena against the Chicago Blackhawks, having to look back nearly two weeks to the last time a game ended with a victory. In that span the Wings lost Michael Rasmussen to a season-ending injury after he took a puck off his right kneecap, and lost Tyler Bertuzzi, Filip Hronek, Oskar Sundqvist and Jakub Vrana to trades. Weekend losses at the New York Islanders and Philadelphia Flyers post-dated the trade deadline, and it's time to move forward.
"There was no doubt the boys felt sorry for themselves," coach Derek Lalonde said Tuesday. "Is it right or wrong? I think it was more of a reality. It will be my job to get them out of that. We are not going to go through the motions over these 20 games. We are going to stop feeling sorry for ourselves. This lineup is not much different than the beginning of the year, and we were extremely competitive."
The Wings lost Bertuzzi (injury) and Vrana (players assistance program) two games into the season, and were able to keep rolling. It is a little different now in that the race to make the playoffs is peaking, but to Lalonde's point, the Wings had leads both games over the weekend, and ended up losing in regulation.
"Those games were extremely winnable," Lalonde said. "We led the Islanders going into the third, did not manage it. The Philadelphia game, it was there for the taking. We need to improve in those situations, thats on me to get the group motivated to stay on track here.
"But there is something, too, now that our lineup is settled. We know what it is. Only have three more call-ups. This is where we are at. Hopefully we get some rhythm and find ways to win some tight games like we could have on the weekend."...
"Im happy we can prove we are still fighting," former Blackhawks forward Dominik Kubalik said. "You always play for something. Right now we just want to get back on track, get that winning atmosphere around the room, just do it for our fans."

Interpreting Helene: The Detroit Red Wings enter their next game, Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena against the Chicago Blackhawks, having to look back nearly two weeks to the last time a game ended with a victory. In that span the Wings lost Michael Rasmussen to a season-ending injury after he took a puck off his right kneecap, AND the GM gutted the Team as he traded off assets for future fun coupons.
Of course the "Team" is upset. Stevie, the Great Rebuilder, just nuked the season ending run for the playoffs, Team building, Future looks brite, movement be damned ...into the trash bin and pocketed some chump chits.
Seriously, this year, the Wings we would have had the same chance as the vaunted Maple Leafs to make it out of Round 1, and look how excited they get.
and now, we have another year added to the Neverending Rebuild..... 7 years, Tick Tock.....
