Berger: Get Back To 1966

In 1966 Eleanor Rigby was whining about lonliness and even taking the drastic step of occasionally wearing a face she kept in a jar by the frigging door. Wack job if you ask me.
Just as Father McKenzie was wiping the dirt from his hands, the Pocket Rocket was scoring a miraculous Game 6 OT winner to defeat the Wings in the Stanley Cup Final.
Howard Berger, and I have no idea if he darns his socks or not, says this year’s Final will be a rematch.

Even a slight loss of edge by Detroit would open the door for Anaheim or San Jose to win the West. But, I’m sticking with the Red Wings; no team has a better combination of speed, savvy, and top-level young players.
Having missed the playoffs last spring, the Habs were positively dynamic in the second half of the schedule. They play before the NHL’s loudest and most fervent spectators, in the league’s biggest arena. The Bell Centre will be an intimidating venue for visiting clubs this spring whenever the Habs get on a roll. And, that will be often.
In the end, the Canadiens will fall just short this spring, dropping a six-game championship round to Detroit.
Ah, look at all the lonely people…in Anaheim and in San Jose.

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.
