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. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome:

Wanna Feel Smart?
Does confusion make you sad? When you read words like “enigma” and phrases like “Thanks Gary. Ass”, do you wonder why mean people speak in languages you don’t understand? Fret no longer friend! The A2Y Glossary will bring you great joy and enlightenment.

How Others View The A2Y 19
“Hell, I guarantee the content co-opters at Abel to Yzerman were about to link this article under the heading “Bitter Blues Fans” again right up until they just read that last half-sentance. Thanks but no thanks, you Kukla hangers-on.”
--St. Louis Game Time
“I realize it’s the slow summer season, but can this guy tone down the tough-guy histrionics? His posts are fatiguing on an otherwise excellent site.”
--A2Y Fan, Eternal_Fields
“I constantly marvel at how Bill (IwoCPO) and his disciples at Abel To Yzerman can be so pompous and full of themselves throughout every regular season, but come playoff time they collapse into wavering puddles of stress and nervousness as they anxiously await the impending and unavoidable collapse of the Red Wings in the post-season.”
--Mile High Hockey
“I hate them because they are better than us. Of all the frigging teams…”
--In The Cheap Seats
“It’s just a shame that the most classless, uneducated, lowbrow fanbase in the league gets this sweep. Red Wing fans don’t deserve their team.”
--Thhom
“I really don’t care what fans or bloggers think.”
--Drew Sharp
“Why is it you Detroit fans are still so classless when you have such a classy hockey team, with such a professional GM and gentlemen players? I understand that the author of this blog is a manner-less cad, but the rest of you should be better.”
--A2Y Fan, Jeff Beaumont

Buck Up Little Skippy…The Game’s Better
by IwoCPO on 11/14/06 at 12:00 PMComments (3)
The Godfather’s NHL.com blog has been updated with some words of advice for all of us. Simply: look at the game today, compare it to the trap era and keep an open mind. Our league is improving. Jethro may not realize it yet because he’s counting back tattoos on NASCAR infields, but he will eventually.
Woops...sorry if I offended any puck bunnies with back tattoos.
An excerpt from Paul’s column this morning.
The NHL game as we know it in the “modern NHL” is not perfect. Is it improving? Without a doubt. All we have to do is go back a few years and remember the clutching and grabbing, the constant interference and the frustration many of us felt when the star players could not showcase their talent on the ice. The hack-and-wack type guy was “hot” three-10 years ago, now we have the pure skater and passer, the foundation of the game, making a well-deserved comeback. If you couldn’t win the game a few years ago, you tried to beat the team into submission, to prove a point and make sure you weren’t beat again (which rarely happened).
Oh, and while I’m add it I’ll direct your attention to the blog roll on the port side. There are a few new sites I’d recommend. In no particular order they are:
Southeast Shootout: a joint effort between the SE Division bloggers.
On Frozen Blog: a fantastic hockey blog out of DC. Speaking of which, A2Y will soon be a fantastic Wings blog out of DC.
Puttin’ On The Foil: tell me that name doesn’t get you there. The writing will bring you back.
Crazy Canucks Podcast: the nutjobs in Vancouver have found another way to spread their goodwill
8 Feet: James Gunner’s blog has moved to this new, polished looking spot.
