Chaos Reigns When You're On The Outside Looking In

Drew Miller doesn't get waived by a contending team because Drew Miller is an accent. He's garnish and a complement on a good team. He's a niche player who happily fills a role on a fourth line and a PK. Really good teams need Drew Miller.

The Red Wings are not a well constructed or particularly well coached team, so Drew Miller was waived.

Because the Red Wings are not only poorly constructed and poorly coached, but overall less than mediocre, Drew Miller was brought back to do more than the little things.

He'll probably play fifteen tonight because Vanek and Larkin are hurt, Ott is still hurt, and Jurco will prove on his second or third shift that he has no...flair...for any type of defensive role.

When the return of Drew Miller and the re-discovery of Tomas Jurco are the top stories of the day, you know your day is going to suck.

Jared Coreau starts in another must-win for the Wings, because he's this team's number 1 goalie.

Jeff Blashill says Jurco plays good while Jurco says he likes to play good but doesn't understand really good why a good player isn't given a good chance to show his stuff on a more consistent basis.

These are days through which we toil as we wait for our Wings.

So you may as well hoist a few and ponder the mathematical possibilities of a lottery. Those kind of equations are best determined three sheets to the damn wind.

It's a Live Blog, bitches.

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.
