The theme of this riveting live blog was going to be Carolina and the fact that one of Gary's little projects can't support ice hockey. I was going to wax poetically about the ice and the fact that, even on bring your cousin/wife to the rink night, they could only pull in about 36 people.
We were going to talk about it.
We were going to discuss the fact that Carolina is tough to beat at home, and that a night with the Wings, riding like an 8-game home winning streak, would and should have pulled in the NASCAR crowd for an evening of hockey on ice.
In the midst of my deep research, I opened up the standings.
I opened up the standings and I sobbed a little. Were you aware the Wings are 9 points out of a Wild Card spot?
I wasn't. I knew things were really smelly shitty, but I didn't know just how rancid our lives had become.
So, there's that.
Two game winning streak is what we're on. One legit and one moral.
Now Tampa, our current foil.
Enjoy your Tuesday. Set aside your Lions-stress and hop on our little stress train of Holland-induced pain.
It's a Live Blog, bitches.
LGRW.
****POST SCRIPT****...I looked again. We're not 9 points out. I guess it's actually 5 since Boston holds the third divisional spot. NOTED.
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.
