In The Ruins Of Her Ice Water Mansion: It’s a Game 4 Live Blog

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.

I paraphrase......

Sometimes you just gotta stand up and take your ass whuppin like a man...Charles Barkley ex Bassetball Great.

Keep the pedal down!

On another note...strange doings in The Hasek....everyone is sitting up, several are standing and two are actually leaning on the bar.  No one is in the fetal position.  What an evening!

Not only have all the goals been scored by Swedes, all the penalties have been taken by Swedes too...even tho two of those were BS calls on Holmstrom

WOW. 32 consecutive touches on the puck before that last goal.

No goals yet in the third?  WTF?  Must be fight fighting the altitude.

I think they come out and try to get as few whistles as possible so it’s over as quickly as it can be.

I hope.  Still smarting from February and the Injury Express.

And another Swede...Lilja...helped the Avs score their one goal with his “defense”

Uncle Mike not letting the foot off the gas, #1 PP unit in.  Maybe trying to get Z a hat-trick

The Avs have tried Theodore, they’ve tried Budaj.  Here in the third they should just pull the goalie and try with an empty net, can’t be much worse.

Addendum:  Actually, nevermind.  If the Dive start pulling crap, Sammy can start blasting pucks into the Dive bench.

That was intentional!

No, dude, really.  I have no aim.  Ask Charlie.

Wonder what Grapes would think about that scoring line, well since there are no good Canadian boys in there.

Obviously the only reason the Swedes are running roughshod on the Dive is the absence of so many good Canadian boys on the injured list…

Hanging 7 goals on the buttholes from Colorado before the end of the 2nd period.......PRICELESS.

Yeah, so I think it’s a pretty safe bet this is the last NHL game that will ever be coached by Joel “Would You Like Fries With That?” Quenneville.

Sammy with two? Further evidence that scoring on the Dive tonight is as easy as scoring at a Nashville family reunion.

Here it is! The comeback is starting!  They only need one goal every 80 seconds.  It could happen.

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
