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

Comments

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.

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.

Addicted To Red gets my vote because it rocks

I’m marking my ballot for the “Dom, get your batshit czech ass back in the f^&king;net” entry.

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

"Have you ever *read* A2Y? Its the most opinionated, juvenile stuff i've read."
--Paul Nicholson

"I actually like the Detroit team and have a sh&% load of respect for them, but their fans are the biggest douches next to Canadians."
--KStewy, PensBlog Commenter

"Just when it looks like we have bottomed out, the 19 hit a new low."
-A2Y legend, Hockeytown Todd

"And for the record, I don't hate the Red Wings, I hate their fans."
--Douche Bag at Puck Daddy who isn't Wyshynski

"You’re nothing but a douchebag ****, c3po. Go f**k yourself, and learn something about hockey in the process. Nothing ruins my day more than seeing your byline on the kk page."
--Hector, A2Y fan, statesman, Pittsburgh Chapter of Jonas Brothers Fan Club President

"I can just imagine the kindergarten teacher’s reaction when the tyke blurts out 'Mommy says Gary Bettman is a f*cking f*ckface! He wants to give ‘Rosby the bad touch.' ”
--Bella, of the 19

"A2Y is what other blog sites aspire to be when they fail to grow up: intelligent immaturity for the juvenile genius set”
--Captain Dennis Polonich, of the 19
