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.

1 year to the day: the forecast (this year) for Columbus, OH is 3 days of rain with temps in the high 50's/low 60's leading up to March 1st.
If it's like that next year, someone could get hurt.
The NHL is asking for trouble by putting these games farther south--especially this time of year.
Sooooo, it would make too much sense to have a DET/MTL Stadium Series match at maybe Comerica Park?
Jeebus, it is really stinking CRINGE of the NHL to manufacture a rivalry just by association. The public relations of the NHL is too tone deaf.
