Christ, here we go again. Does anyone know if the Predators are actually playing an opponent today? You may want to let the announcers know.

Wild action in the opening minutes

I think they are just skating around in front of their incredible fans in their sold-out arena.
If I was sitting next to someone with one of those whistles, I’d insert it rudely in his rectum as soon as he stood up to get beer.

I don’t think I’m going to make it through a whole game of this...I’m going to need oxygen soon.

3rd and 4th liners appear to have the mojo today. Going to be the difference in the game—

I especially liked the Douche Canoe talking about the “Defensive pinching that’s really making the difference.” with 18:45 left in the first.
Little hint for ya Pierre. 3 shifts does not a pattern make. Douche.

Damn… I’m listening to WXYT and my heart is racing. *#$%@&! Why won’t any of the backdoor feeds work! AGH!

Someone needs to punch the head off 22 before it’s too late.

Very rare to see an afternoon start as good as that.

Now way I’m making it through this game without sacrificing the pets

Wings appear --- I say appear, to be settling in
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/20/08 at 02:31 PM ET
If I read his lips right, it looks like Huds is learning english 
Posted by scheisskopf on 04/20/08 at 02:32 PM ET
I keep looking for the “Douche” posters behind pierre.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/20/08 at 02:33 PM ET
Drake and Stuart look primed for a nice physical game…
Although that’s apparently lost on the canoe.
Ass.

I love how all players cuss in English, no matter where they are from. 
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 04/20/08 at 02:33 PM ET
I just can’t believe they delayed the start of the game for golf. Like golf even approaches the excitement of hockey.

Tension—Tension— I like it when the Wings play in the NSH end better
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/20/08 at 02:35 PM ET
Sounds like the lines are…
ZDH
Fil-Mule-Sam
Huds-Drapes-Cleary
Drake-Helm-Mac
Is that right?
Posted by Pete K from Chicago, IL on 04/20/08 at 02:35 PM ET
Those freaking whistles are making my already understandably nervous dog a wreck.
So. Gay.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 04/20/08 at 02:35 PM ET
The people at WOOD need to throw the HD switch! Seems running their news crawl messed it up.
Posted by Brian on 04/20/08 at 02:36 PM ET
I think thats right Pete—what Ive seen anyway
D pairs same as game 5
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/20/08 at 02:36 PM ET
Please Wings.....score a goal so the Canoe will STFU!
Posted by Scott H on 04/20/08 at 02:37 PM ET
Where’s the traffic in front of the net? They keep shooting w.o anyone to pounce on rebounds or screen the goalie. No forcing Ellis to move laterally across his crease. They’re making this guy look like a hero, but really, they’re lobbing softballs at him. It’s really uncommon for an NHL goalie to be beat if they can set-up and see the puck.

Appears to be.
CBC not Nashville-bias - and the apparent bias might also just be in favor of a game seven, which won’t happen if Detroit wins.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 04/20/08 at 02:38 PM ET
DC—with Trotz--
Good chance by Lebda there
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/20/08 at 02:38 PM ET
Trotz is getting the Obama treatment from Pierre… “Is this comfortable enough for you?”
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/20/08 at 02:38 PM ET
Baroque—lucky girl with the CBC
NBC is awful except for Emerick
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/20/08 at 02:39 PM ET
Nice nutmeg by chelios! someone’s groin is aching. Ha ha!
Posted by IceBuddha from San Diego on 04/20/08 at 02:40 PM ET
WOW DET is really starting to play in the NSH end. Good portend
Be better to get a lead
LIdstrom—glorious chance
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/20/08 at 02:40 PM ET
Paul Woods mentions they’re rolling 4. ESPN TOI stats seems to confirm that. Excellent work Babcock. Sounds like the 4th liners are really bringing it.
Who’d a thunk, at the beginning of the season, that one of the Wings best playoff lines would consist of Dallas Drake, Darren Helm, and Darren McCarty?
Which gives me an idea for a name for this line. Triple D? 3D? D3? Something along those lines.
Posted by Pete K from Chicago, IL on 04/20/08 at 02:41 PM ET
You’re getting CBC Baroque? I wish I had CBC! Lots of people don’t like Don Cherry, but he’s definitely entertaining. And the announcing is great.
Posted by scheisskopf on 04/20/08 at 02:42 PM ET
DET is rolling 4, dont know about NSH
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/20/08 at 02:42 PM ET
of course that’s “Good Hard Hockey” when you slash the stick so hard that it get’s knocked out of his hand. F the Canoe. Douche
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/20/08 at 02:42 PM ET
Hey, DC, why was that uncalled slash on Tootoo a good call again? Ass.
Posted by Clark on 04/20/08 at 02:42 PM ET
Hey, I was wondering, how’s Trotz as a coach? I don’t know anything about him- although I’m sure Douche Canoe and company will do their best to fix that.

I know - and as knowledgeable as Emerick is the sound of his voice is so irritating - like sand in your swimsuit.

Outside chaining down a marlboro—I cant take this stress
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/20/08 at 02:44 PM ET
Agreed Jeff. The tingling in my left fingers can’t be good.

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
