Look. I’m not going to lie to you. I got very little sleep last night because I’m so excited about the democratic blood that is pumping through the veins of our little sarcastic home. You’ve voted early, in some cases often, and obviously with sober forethought. For that, I applaud you. Just over twelve hours remain in the competition to replace “Fire On Ice: John Hahn’s Latest Bit of Evidence That He Points At You and Laughs While He Sips Wine Coolers In The Executive Box At The Joe”.
Polls close at 2100.
Remember: the winning entry will appear on the right sidebar the entire season and the artist will receive a $25 gift certificate from ice jerseys. All votes today will be made in the comment section of this post.

And the entries…
HockeyinHD has proven himself as exactly the kind of juvenile reader who represents us all. His entry, the first submitted, emphasized exactly that.
Entry 1: Thanks Gary
Where HinHD made us giggle with him like the children we are, Matt Schwartz used the contest to show off, to show us up. That made me sad that someone would want us all to feel so badly about our own creative shortcomings. Not since I stabbed Jimmy Karish with a pencil in 5th grade art class with Mrs. Curzon have I felt such shame.
Entry 2: Fire In Your Wallet
Pete at Yzerman is God impressed me since his debut last season. His stock rose, yes I said “stock rose”, when he dropped a BJ on us with the third entry.
Entry 3: BJ’s For Us All
Aaron from Phoenix, clearly inspired by what Pete had to offer with Entry 3, chimed in next. He preyed on our greatest fear and struck gold.
Entry 4: Dom..I swear to god if you don’t stay in that f&*ng net…
If Aaron took the easy way out by capitalizing on our insecurities, TeamDub went the opposite direction and lit the torches for the most unpopular Detroit sports figure since, well, since forever.
Entry 5: Fire Millen
Saginaw John checked in next with concrete evidence that residents of his hometown are the most brilliant, wittiest, most socially responsible people in the history of mid-michigan towns mentioned by Simon and Garfunkel. I have no idea where he scored the picture of Grampa Pinhead but it worked.
Entry 6: Fun For All Ages
The pride of Sagnasty was far from done. Oh no. This one’s for Don Cherry.
Entry 7: Soft Swede
And now we get downright dirty. I can’t tell you the negotiations involved, but suffice it to say the version you’re about to see wasn’t the original. That one’s hidden away in my sock drawer for the next time I go to sea. An anonymous poster provided us our eigth entry and it put A2Y on the same map as that little vixen from High School Musical.
Entry 8: Below The Fold
The contest went silent for three weeks after that anonymous entry. Why? I don’t know. Perhaps we were in shock. Maybe you all started surfing porn after seeing the 8th entry. No matter the reason, we were about to wrap it up with 8 when Pete returned with an eye opener.
Entry 9: Emmmmma
Saginaw John snuck another entry in just before the polls opened for business.
Entry 10: Addicted To Red

I vote for Addicted to Red….
Posted by Tani from Winder, GA on 09/17/07 at 09:16 AM ET
I don’t know military time and too lazy to look it up.
If it’s not too late I would like to vote for #10 - Addicted to Red.
In your other post you mentioned sending people the picture for their background image. I think thats a good idea but you should just make them all available for download.

I wanted to vote earlier but that was when some of them were tied and I didn’t want everyone to get mad at me for breaking the tie. Now it’s not tied anymore and want to put a vote in for Addicted To Red.

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: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)

I vote for entry number 4.
While I liked almost all of the entries, only being able to catch the Wings on TV, the topic/issue that comes up the most often for me is “Stay in the effing net DAMNIT!”.
I’d probably be more in tune with the wallet issue if buying tickets were an option for me, but down here it’s strictly TV. Oh, except for every THIRD year when the Wings make it to DC. In which case, just like most teams, the prices magically go up for the Wings game…
Damn, did I want to vote for the red light district, but, we all know the Wings brass wouldn’t have the stones to put that on a poster.
