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.

Kronwall’s not allowed to fall down like that...too awkward for my liking.

Flippin’ Versus digital signal freezes and gets lost 4 or 5 times a night.

TeamDub, that’s OK. It’s just a silly Lilya pic, for all the haters out there.

Team up 4 goals, final game of a sweep, you have the hottest stick in the NHL....

I’m a little behind. wtf was that penalty on Samuelsson? he was NOWHERE NEAR HIM! nice phantom penalty call. refs probably feel sorry for the Avs.

Wow...the Avs just don’t even care anymore. That was pathetic.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/01/08 at 10:28 PM ET
This is so pathetically EASY! Shorthanded 2 on 1??
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:28 PM ET
Mule ties Mr. Hockey for most goals in a series. Well done sir.
Posted by Dave on 05/01/08 at 10:29 PM ET

Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:29 PM ET
Methinks Cody is getting spanked for that hijinx
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:30 PM ET
Damn there’s gotta be a penalty on Homer somewhere. 3 guys
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/01/08 at 10:30 PM ET
Penalty on Holmstrom?!?!?!!!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 10:30 PM ET
Okay, why was Homer taken on that one? Even the VS. guys can’t explain it.
Posted by Clark on 05/01/08 at 10:30 PM ET
This just in:
Q is pulling Budaj and putting Patrick Roy in net!
Posted by ScottH from Kalamazoo on 05/01/08 at 10:31 PM ET
Mathcing penalties...what a joke. The officials are taking pity on the Avs. That’s how much of an ass-kicking this has been.
Posted by Dave on 05/01/08 at 10:31 PM ET
This is starting to remind me of something I’ve seen before…

Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:31 PM ET
Refs are just feeling sorry for the Dive now.
Posted by O’Long-apo~J’oe on 05/01/08 at 10:31 PM ET
How the HELL does Homer get a penalty on that. *#$%@& RIDICULOUS! The NHL has had a vendetta on Homer all year.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/01/08 at 10:31 PM ET
Homer got boxed for that too????
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/01/08 at 10:31 PM ET
“96, White, 2 minutes, Being Tomas Holmstrom”
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:31 PM ET
Franzen ties Gordie Howe’s Wings record… he broke scoring in one month as well for a Wing.
$950,000 a year… what a bargain until this summer 
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/01/08 at 10:31 PM ET
Brunnstrom is getting a fantastic preview tonight
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 05/01/08 at 10:34 PM ET
Looks like Q-ville knew what he was doing when he was starting 3-or-4.
Posted by Dave on 05/01/08 at 10:35 PM ET
Patrick Roy’s last NHL game: 7-0 Detroit playoffs.
Sweet!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 10:35 PM ET
WTF!?!? Patrick Roy’s last NHL game??? Someone get the versus announcer a frigging clue!!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:35 PM ET
even the versus announcers are ragging on the Vag

No kidding. “Why should you play for us? You get to do this.”
Posted by Clark on 05/01/08 at 10:36 PM ET
Whoa, Holmstrom didn’t get a penalty for getting slashed?
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:38 PM ET
minnesota eliminated roy in 2003, coming back from 3-1...that was so cool!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:38 PM ET
At the risk of inducing mass hurling in the Hasek, just saw this little gem over at MHH:
If they ever play hockey in Hell, the games will be announced by Jim Hughson and Peter McKnob, broadcast by Vs and written about by Woody Paige.
Even though Hughson’s grown on me a bit in recent years (sorta like some familiar toe fungus), I gotta pretty much agree here…

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
