I’m tired. Tired of my wife kicking my butt in Wii bowling. To quote Appollo Creed, that’s very hard for a man of my intelligence to take. It is, however, what it is.
The solution? A Game 4 Live Blog set to yet another lyric from the greatest folk song of all time. A folk song that kicks the living hell, by the way, out of anything Bob Dylan ever did.

Hey! Team. It was “a game time decision”, but I’m back. Sorry about missing the last 2 live blogs but I’ve been deal’n with a foot / back / spleen ... no, forget the spleen / ‘upper body injury’ (yeh, that fits) but I’ll tough it out cause it’s the playoffs and ‘that MyFriends is how I roll!’
I’ve read every entry from the previous 2 live ones and there ain’t no group better on the web (thanks Al Gore) then found right here. WE GOT CHARACTER!
Anyhoo, GO WINGS!!! I want to break-in my new housekeeping tool tonight, K guys?
Give us 60 minutes, boys. A full 60 minutes!

I was on the highlanders site and noticed that he has something hot off the presses about Brunstrom. Something to pass the time a bit before the game

I’m feeling rather comfortable today so I’ve decided to sit upright in the Hasek Club Car. Perhaps I’ll order a wine cooler to toast the Dive, or better yet, Jose 3or4 on his pending UFA status.(Good luck with that!)
I want domination tonite! No playing with the wounded mouse boys… put it out of it’s misery.
GO WINGS GO!

I have a theory that NBC and the NHL are gonna rig this one for the Avs so they can air game 5 on Saturday. No offense guys.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 05/01/08 at 09:01 PM ET
Brunnstrom’s hometown in Sweden is next door to the hometown of Andreas Lilja.
Finally, a good sign!
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/01/08 at 09:03 PM ET
Mike, would recommend you don’t get too comfortable. It’s not The Hasek way. Agreed though. No mercy tonite.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/01/08 at 09:04 PM ET
another site that usually has the versus coverage is http://www.channelsurfing.net/...i’ve used it all playoffs. Hockey every night!!!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:05 PM ET
Steve, sorry. I don’t buy that stuff. Maybe in the NBA, but not here. Gramps agrees with you though.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/01/08 at 09:05 PM ET
Chief, what I meant was that comfortable for me is not having my pants soaked in anticipation of the game. But thanks for the reminder.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/01/08 at 09:07 PM ET
B.Stuart has been a good pick-up!
(No comparison to Stillwoozie deal)
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:08 PM ET
Yuengling supply is limited tonite. This better not go to OT.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/01/08 at 09:08 PM ET
Mike: Is that “comfortably stressed”?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:10 PM ET
Chelios scratched. Anyone hearing what that’s all about?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/01/08 at 09:11 PM ET
the avs are done...the’ve got leopold playing a wing
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:12 PM ET
Chelios just “resting”?

Maybe he can avoid hurting himself that way.
Foote is such a bitch.

Stonehands… I wouldn’t have it any other way on the Stress Train.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/01/08 at 09:14 PM ET
Good puck movement!
Great passing!!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:14 PM ET
The fans and Dive team seem like they are in mourning.
We are more than they can handle, let’s hope none of our guys get hurt in closing this one out.
Let’s go Red Wings and the A2Y 19.

helm is the man, great shift by the fourth line
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:15 PM ET
We strike first!! The building will be emptying soon.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/01/08 at 09:16 PM ET
That’s the first softie of the nite. Keep em commin.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/01/08 at 09:16 PM ET
Dive is right. Welcome back stonehands. Would love to see Helm get one tonite. That line deserves it.
Wooohoooo!!!! Done. Done like dinner. Sammy had that one coming to him. Nice call Joel.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/01/08 at 09:16 PM ET
It’s about friggin’ time for the Prodigal Swede to show up…
... I mean, “diving” into high-sticks isn’t really his bag.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/01/08 at 09:17 PM ET
three or four!!!!!!!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:17 PM ET
Clearly, the Dive’s rash of injuries is responsible for that goal.
Posted by O’Long-apo~J’oe on 05/01/08 at 09:17 PM ET
Sammy scored. And I just shat quarters!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:17 PM ET
Three or Four .... or Five or six.
I will repeat what I said before game 3, starting Budaj is a no brainer!!
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/01/08 at 09:18 PM ET
And I just shat quarters!

Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/01/08 at 09:18 PM ET

Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/01/08 at 09:19 PM ET
How can that be? Tripping?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:19 PM ET
Hometown Hasenfratz.
You suck.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/01/08 at 09:19 PM ET
Ahahahaha..I’ve never laughed at a penalty so hard.
Posted by scsgoal31 from Huntington Woods, MI on 05/01/08 at 09:19 PM ET

Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/01/08 at 09:19 PM ET

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
