Babcock’s On Board

It’s been way too long since we’ve done a Mike Babcock Consolidated Quote of the Day. From the Joe, a conversation between Uncle Mike and Teddy Kulfan after practice.
MBCQOTD
“Todd, save me three pigs in a blanket. Abadabbadoo’s on the third line with the runt and Drapes. I watched your interwebcamcast Teddy and I could have sworn Kenny said I had a ten-year deal. He meant it too because he paused for 19 seconds in between every word. Did you see that? That’s called emphasis Teddy. That’s enunciation. Kenny’s a serious man Teddy. Teddy. TEDDY. Dammit son. Listen to me. We’re rolling four lines. Four lines kept a rollin’ all night long. Aerosmith. Dream on. Dream on. Dream on while I walk this way cuz Janie’s got a gun Teddy. A big one.”
Uncle Mike’s in rare form, and he’s on board.

He is a perfect Conductor! That made me laugh out loud at work.

Are you sure Babcock wasn’t the 3rd base coach during the “We are Family” days in Pittsburgh?

Great MBCQOTD, and even better photo (the Hasek one posted earlier, as well).
“Abadabbadoo” has my vote for Abdelkader’s official nickname. It can be shouted ala Fred Flintstone for virtually any type of play—good or bad.

Another great foto! Yet, Monty’s suit looks superior to Hasek’s...could lead to sartorial related “issues” with the Czech Miracle of Insanity. My advice, find a tailor, fast.

This has been a brilliantly productive day for you Chief! Thanks for helping laugh off some of the nervous energy.
Babbles is going to be ON this playoffs! He’ll roll lines and matchups like we haven’t seen since Scotty. He’ll F**k Nashville in the Mind, which amazingly also has three teeth.
I’m on the Hasek but am going Manic on these Playoffs; We’re gonna roll some heads people…

What a great outfit! It does kind of have that old Pirates look to it. So now we have the engine and the caboose, we need a picture of the Club Car.

Abbadabbadoo is a real beauty, eh! Chief, I know you’re partial to Home Keys but this is just too good to pass up in my opinion.
Great Stress Train photos today and as always I love the MBCQOTD. You must perform really well under stress, the music references have been quality stuff today.
Let ‘er rip! I’m ready to get this train rolling already!!!

It’s the hat that really makes the ensemble.

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:
A2Y Stuff

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
