BRING IT ON!! BRING IT ON, BUBBA. GRRRRRG! I have three more things to finish at work, then I have a work dinner I have to go to. One thought will be on my mind, though, and that’s BRING IT. I’m replacing usuall playoff nervousness with a certain brash eagerness for confrontation. I’m not being cocky, just confident in this team.

I think this will be an exciting first game… so much so, I’m skipping class tonight to prepare. I still think Wings in 5.

Is it possible to be confident and scared sh*tless at the same time? If not, then what’s going on with me?

I’d like to aenkwire about obtaining a club car on the stress-express. Preferably smoking.

I do it all the time Bob—so no, I don’t think there is anything wrong with you at all—as for me that might be another story altogether.
I am ridiculously confident that the Wings win this series in FIVE. It only goes SIX if ELLIS stands on his head.
Either Mac or Downey—what do you suppose is the time they drop the gloves with TooToo???

I hear ya, Bob, although with me, it’s more a few seconds of one followed by a few seconds of the other. The cycle keeps up nonstop until my whole system is a complete mess. I’ve spent more time in the “little room” today than usual, but that’s probably more info than anyone wants...or needs.
How often are you all checking the clock today? I look up and think, damn, it’s only two minutes later than the last time I checked? At this rate I might just as well sit here in the Baggage Car and stare at the damn thing until game time.
Oh, and by the way, next time someone sees a porter, could you send him back here. I need a drink and, well, more drinks. Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Sigh!

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
"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

Am I the only one actually feeling confident about this series? Is there something wrong with me?
Of course, all bets are off after 7ET.
