Round 1 was a quaint, engaging experience for Wing fans—particularly the 19 readers of A2Y. Bubba’s fans dropped in from time to time and exchanged a few barbs with the faithful. Friendships were formed between the two fan bases. We bid them farewell and wished them the best. Bubba’s bloggers came by occasionally and a few serious-minded, even-keeled hockey discussions took place. Children were smiling. Puppies frolicked as firetrucks waited outside, offering rides.
Well, you can leave that crap at the door brother. Leave it. Because Round 2 is a whole new ballgame, a whole different dynamic.
Why? Because, we’re talking genetic hatred now. I make no apologies and offer no excuses. I despise the Dive, particularly the fans. Harsh? I really don’t care. Check the glossary if you need an explanation. Or don’t. I’ll tell you now. My distaste for those “fans” started back in ‘96 when some monkey-looking skank held up a sign behind the Wing bench during Game 6. It’s continued through every playoff series, every season. I don’t like their fans. I don’t like their organ-I-zation. I don’t even like their bloggers. Joe at Mile High Hockey’s a decent enough dude. The others? Well, you can see them on the left sidebar. I put them there because I’m sure you’ll be looking to peruse through their sobbing excuse-riddled crap as this series goes forward. But you sure as hell don’t see ‘em in the blogroll. Never have and you never will. I’m not in the business of driving traffic to places like that. I don’t tell my kids to surf porn and I’m sure not telling my friends to visit blogs I don’t respect.
Was that mean? I know a few Dive bloggers have accused me of that before. I know. I’m sorry.
But, well…
I don’t like men who hyphenate their names. I don’t like men who talk about kittens and “hockey love”. I don’t like men whose blog titles sound like the name of a show on Nickelodeon. And I don’t care if I’m breaking some unwritten rule about being respectful to the opposing team’s blogs because we’re all in this together and slamming peers is not what adult hockey bloggers do well I’m not an adult mothefu***rs I’m a Sailor and I’m a Wing fan and everything else takes a back seat so you bandwagon elitist wine sipping leg warmer wearing clean air sniffing Detroit bashing pieces of garbage can all suck it and suck it hard.
Because that’s what this blog was founded on. Oh, you expect some sort of analysis of Round 2. You’ll get it. But, I’m not done with the core of this issue yet. I don’t like Pierre LaCroissant. I don’t like Mike Keane calling the Wings cowards and I don’t like the French. Yeah, I said it. I don’t like the French. I don’t like a guy named Ian running our captain and I believe Round 2, Game 1 should feature a beatdown in the early goings.
Honesty and self-assessment are overrated in my book. I’m not the introspective type. I’ll leave that to the sensitive ones in Denver, the Darren Garcia’s and the other “confused” fans of a team who consider 1996 to be “old time hockey” (thanks to the A2Y genius who came up with that..classic). But here’s something I can admit. The hatred between these two fan bases is steeped in one thing and one thing only: fear. Fear of your team losing to the other and having to live with the dark thoughts that accompany that loss. We talked a bit a few weeks ago about how difficult it is to watch playoff hockey after the Wings are knocked out. I’ll tell you this: The Wings lose this series? I won’t read a word, watch a highlight. Not a single period. I’ll shut this bastard down for weeks and go on sabbatical. Hockey will be a discussion stopper in my house and in my life. Does that make me a “bad fan”? I. Don’t. Care. I’ve said that already. I’m not an NHL fan. I’m not a Central Division or Western Conference fan. I’m a Red Wing fan. Period.
I’ve been flying in frigging airplanes for two days straight, so forgive my surliness. I’m usually so happy. I haven’t read the garbage in the Denver papers, but I will. I haven’t seen the MSM predictions, but I’ll look today. I’ll do all of that because I’m a sucker and I allow myself to get all worked up for series’ like this one.
And I’ll tell you this. I’m glad Footer and Floppa and new hero Jose and little Ian and captain Joey and crying Ryan are all healthy and happy. I hope the Denver fan is feeling confident and secure. I want that. Because the thought of watching the hearts of the Denver “faithful” get ripped out and kicked as a result of a loss to Detroit is just about the happiest image I can conjur.
Wow. You’re shocked at the tone of this post. The Dive feel-good bloggers will link to it and claim it’s just Iwo and his angry self. Angry? No. I’m not angry. Anger, in most people, is an emotion that comes and goes, ebbs and flows. With beer and dandelions it can pass. Anger doesn’t last for twelve years. Not in sane people anyway, which is another discussion—sanity. No, this isn’t anger. This is Ohio State-like hatred. I’m not mad at Dive fans. I simply don’t like you.
And I will enjoy your pain. I have zero sympathy. None.
So that’s, you know, where I stand. Predictions, analysis, all that other stuff? Yeah, it’s coming today. We’ll get to it. A long day awaits.

btw if you want a MSM’s post to hate have a look at what that f**ktard Bernie Lincocome wrote in the Rocky Mountain News yesterday.
Posted by Pharazon from England on 04/24/08 at 04:16 AM ET
*#$%@& yeah.
Hatred is a very underestimated emotion. Hatred is settled anger. The hatred of those who are near to us is the most violent.
Love, friendship and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.
Nothing inspires forgiveness quite like revenge. Revenge is the act of passion, vengeance is an act of justice.
No quarter given, none asked.
Thus say the A2Y blackhearts.

Hell, Bill, I think that describing the Wings-Avs rivalry as a Michigan-Ohio State rivalry is perfect for those who are not familiar with the ways of the puck, nor the fact that there is in fact a hockey team that, if it was a university in the State of Michigan, would remind its fans to not park their cars on the street, wear stuff to cover their Red Wings apparel while in public, and essentially “stay low” because there are people in the other market that froth at the mouth with bloodlust for “Old Time Hockey, Circa 1996” while wearing their Clode Lemieux jerseys.
I’m with you about the opposition’s bloggers, too. Not gonna read the drivel. The Denver Compost and the Rocky Mountain Spews do a fine job of providing my recommended daily dosage of anti-Detroit, anti-Red Wing, anti-Red Wing fan commentary from writers who might be better suited to using their hands to work on something more along the lines of their cognitive capabilities, such as fingerpainting and playing tag.

Apparently, accelerating one’s life is not all it’s cracked up to be.
That said, I’ve never met a Dives fan I didn’t want to shank in the kidney, so I can relate.
Posted by O-Joe on 04/24/08 at 06:08 AM ET
Amen, brother.
Finally someone I can relate with. And before anybody starts dropping sh!t about that… I don’t love you, I don’t lust for you, for I am not Bubba. I just simply agree with you.
Here’s hoping that floppa blocks one with his paper ankle. Seriously, I don’t wish career ending injuries to anybody. But I do wish injuries to a lot of players, if it be just for a series or whatnot. Even a player or two from the team I am a fan of. I would have no problem if Lilja blocked a shot with his mommy daddy button. Or even if Sammy were to breat a couple fingers across Ian “Frenchie” Lapierererer (did I spell that right?) melon.
Do I care? no. Why? Because motherf*#kers, that’s how I roll!
Thanks Chief.
suck my d!@k, Gary. Ass.

Great stuff. And Chief what a wonderful way to start my day. Now I’m all angry and liable to stomp kittens or punch little kids in the face. The few Avs fans I know haven’t rooted for the team since their last cup, but will probably jump back on for this series(most Avs fans). Like the good old days.
Posted by AndrewB from TN on 04/24/08 at 07:56 AM ET
I have no misconceptions about this series. I have total faith in the Detroit Red Wings as a team. I have total faith in our #1 Silver Lining, Chris Osgood. The Wings are on a mission. So….
“BRING IT ON!”
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa.-made in Detroit on 04/24/08 at 08:11 AM ET
Glad to hear you back to your old self Chief… And I share in your sentiments wholeheartedly.
To report from here in the Heart of Darkness, the Avsmonkeys are convinced- convinced- that Jose is the Second Coming of Patty Wah, that Saklic, Floppa, and Footer are having career years, that guys named David Jones and Cody McCormick (what is this, a Monkees reunion?) are the future of NHL hockey, and that the Dives are basically gonna roll, roll, roll over the Wings… Who are, of course, too old and too slow, who almost lost to Nashville, an eight seed, and who are gonna get the snot pounded out of them by the likes of Andrew Brunette, Ryan Smith, and Ian Laperrierrierrierrierr ... aw, f*** it.
The air is positively thick with hubris, my friends, and the smoke of a recycling center near my house that burned to the ground last night. Divesmonkeys practicing their Stanley Cup celebrations, no doubt…
Wings in Five, baby…

Oh there will be blood indeed. 6:30 can’t get here soon enough. Soon the Dive will understand we are on a mission, and that is to destroy the hopes and dreams of any one that stands in our way.
Posted by D Town in Bubbaville on 04/24/08 at 08:17 AM ET
I really feel your hatred, i can’t stand the avalanche. I can’t believe that everyone thinks they have a chance in round 2. I hope DMac breaks Ians face on the first shift.
Oh, by the way, I think I just boosted the readership to #20. Do I get an award or just an ass kicking?
Posted by squirrely from newjersey on 04/24/08 at 08:58 AM ET
Squirrely, somebody should have explained to you. When you came on, we lost a reader. When someone comes in, one goes out. Who, we don’t know. Why, we don’t know. The number of A2Y readers always stays at Nineteen.
It is a phenomenon beyond our ken. To try to understand it would most likely be to go mad. There are more things on heaven and earth, Horatio…
As if to drive home the point, even the confirmation word for this post is sa19me.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from lands men fear to tread, seeking forbidden knowled on 04/24/08 at 09:08 AM ET
It’s on motherf*ckers! Already had the Dive faithful come up to my desk w. their smarmy “So how many games will it take the ‘diques to eliminate Detroit?” or other snappy comments. I simply stand up, snatch out one of their eyeballs and suck the iris out. HR is getting upset. Something about “a hostile work environment”. I tell them “it’s the playoffs, this is how I roll.”
Yesterday someone taunted me for wearing my Wing’s ball cap; so I drove an ice pick into his skull. I’m sure his mother misses him, but again, it’s the playoffs, this is how it’s done.
I hope the boys bring their “A” game, the jail time will be worth it if the Wings advance.

AndrewfromAnnArbor,
I know the significance of 19 here at A2Y, but your choice of the word ‘ken’ and number 19 just reminded me of the King’s Dark Tower books. Was that your reference?
Posted by AndrewB from TN on 04/24/08 at 09:25 AM ET
Chief, you never fail to bring it. I tip my hat to you, sir.
This is going to be a good series.
Posted by Joe on 04/24/08 at 09:28 AM ET
Damn, that post fired me up! I just did 50 pushups to calm myself down. Might do about 300 more as the day drags on. T-minus nine hours…
I was watching the Cubs-Rockies game last night, it seemed half the fans at Coors Field were rooting for the Cubs. One of those fans was wearing a Kronwall jersey. Oh, it is SO on!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/24/08 at 09:34 AM ET
“Fear of your team losing to the other and having to live with the dark thoughts that accompany that loss.”
That’s about the only lucid thing you said in that post 
Posted by Shane from Saskatoon on 04/24/08 at 09:37 AM ET
This is going to be a good series.
a massive understatement. whichever team wins (which of course will be the Wings) the fans will likely get near as much pleasure out of it as they would their team (Wings again, of course) going on to win the Stanley Cup.
some of the players may be gone, and the new ones don’t remember. but the fans remember. think about some of the important Wings to this series who do remember - Draper, McCarty, Osgood, Lidstrom.

Not quite:
http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/ken
Picked it up in Scotland along with other lovely words like ‘Dreich,’ ‘Pish,’ and ‘What’s a dentist?’ But I am familiar with the Dark Tower series, at least up until Wizard and Glass (where King kinda lost the plot). Just call me Andrew Quick, the Outlaw Prince. Ka.
If anything, I suspect this series should show just how ‘tough’ we are. We’ve got Kronner, Drake, Stuart, Lilja, Stuart, D-Mac, and Drake all getting into the physical hitting mode that the playoffs require. As for the Dive, they’ve got Foote and Floppa, but neither of them are as physical as they used to be what with age and injury. Hannan and Frenchy are the only real hitters there. Smells like violence, baby.
The playoffs make me feel like Susannah Dean, the Woman of Shadows, what with the split personality and all.

O.k. I brought it. Drove to work in my car with my Red Wings car flag on. Wore the Yzerman sweater into work. Have red on. Flag is draped on my desk, hat is on top of computer monitor. People taunting me with “Go Avs!” Yes, the last series has made the Avs fans very sure of themselves.
So tonight, I will sit down to watch the game a bit late (thank goodness for Tivo) in a room that on the wall hangs the posters of the 97, 98, and 02 Cup wins, the team posters, my photos of Stevie and I will grab on to that and cheer the boys on, even though I will be surrounded by Avs fans. LET’S GO RED WINGS!!!!!
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 04/24/08 at 10:26 AM ET
Well.
One thing’s for sure—If human sacrifice is required for getting past this round, getting up the nerve to do the deed shouldn’t be a problem at all. Some were getting a little queasy about the need to eviscerate cats last round.
Colorado at Detroit - maybe the one matchup that even Gary can’t ruin?
I suspect the networks are rooting for this series to go to seven games, and they might not even mind the scheduling difficulties of overtime.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 04/24/08 at 10:38 AM ET
This is the GREATEST Red Wings blog post I have ever read. This is exactly the way I have felt about our Wings ever since I was just a little guy. My passion, obsession or whatever you want to call it for this team runs so deep that it’s probably unexplainable, and something that those a$$-clown Dive fans will NEVER understand. I live and die with this team, especially at this time of year. I love being a Red Wings fan. Are we arrogant? Absolutely. Have we earned the right to be so? Damn straight we have. We’ve had the best team in the NHL for practically the last 2 decades. Look at the numbers, they don’t lie. And while we haven’t won as many Cups as we probably should have, we’ve been right in the thick of the fight pretty much every April, give or take a few speed bumps along the way. This year is no different. Everyone outside of Detroit wants us to lose, is picking us to lose, and is waiting for us to lose. For some reason, I just don’t see it happening this year. The hockey community at-large hates us, mainly out of jealousy (see: every person here in Tennessee that roots for Bubba and tries to steal our traditions). Let them hate us for being good. And while they’re at it, let them hate us for being good while they’re on the golf course, shanking a tee-shot into the rough (again, see Bubba, which makes me smile). I hate Colorado, from they’re top line, to their fans, to the front office, all the way to the Coors brewery. This next week or so is going to be something special, something to tell my grandkids about. The story about how our nemesis brought back all of its “weapons” in an attempt to slay the giant that is our Detroit Red Wings. Fortunately for us, though, our weapons are bigger and do more damage, which will create a happy ending for everyone involved in this ride we call the playoffs. We’ll beat the Dive, again. Go to the Conference Finals, again. Take care of Dallas or San Jose, again. And we’ll dominate another undersized, outmatched Eastern Conference team for the Cup, AGAIN!! In the meantime, all that Dive fans will be able to do it go skiing.
THE END

Thankee, Andrew. You’re right he totally lost it.
‘Anyone else lifting weights?’ I never get tired of people ripping theanswerman. Almost makes me wish we were playing the blues in this series. Nah, who I’m kidding. I love it that they can’t get back to the playoffs. It enriches my life and brings me inner peace to know the blues fans are suffering
Posted by AndrewB from TN on 04/24/08 at 11:20 AM ET
I couldn’t agree more with Chris about the Chief’s post and his personal experience. I’ve been a fan of the Wings since I was a kid. Went to many games at the Olympia and was there for Gordie’s last home game in ‘71 before he retired from the Wings. Back then, living in Grand Rapids, there was no cable tv available and the only option was listening to Bruce and Bud on the radio. In later years, first on TV50 then FSN-D, watching them was such a thrill! Their rise over the past two decades, capturing three Stanley Cups and consistantly being at the top of the league has been awesome, and fitting for a team who overall has been one of the finest ever in the NHL. We are third all time Stanley Cup winners, behind only Montreal and Toronto. We have a tradition that extends back to the 1920s, something those teams outside of the Original Six will never share. That’s another reason for their jealousy, because win or lose, the Detroit Red Wings are a classic, classy, extremely successful organ-I-zation. And they just can’t get over it. Well, this year I hope we shove it down their throats. Let their fans and all of the media nay sayers that put our Red Wings down, gag on the Winged Wheel. That, friends, won’t change their minds, which is just fine with me, because they’re obviously all a bunch of jealous motherf@#kers! The mission has begun and Bubba and their fans are already scheduling tee times. The Avs are next…
Posted by Cwix from Roanoke, VA on 04/24/08 at 11:31 AM ET
Chief,
The passion that comes out of you can be felt through the computer screen! Having moved to CO after being raised in the Detroit area, it has been like almost a non-stop bitch fest with the Dive and their fan base living here at ground zero. I arrived the same fall in 95 as the Nordiques did. Many stories to tell, and many good times at old McNichols arena and the Ass Can.
But try having to work with these people, and having them as neighbors. I have always been as bold as I can to rub it in their faces. They need to suffer some hard times like most of us Red Wings fans have over the years. 40 years following this team for me. Today, they seem confident they will win the series. I guess I may have to once again scam some tickets for the Ass Can to join Red Wing nation down there. That is where we drive the Dive fan base nuts. They cannot believe how the Wings fans come out of the woodwork.
Today is bring your child to work day at my employer in CO. My 8 year old is proudly wearing his Yzerman jersey.
Good luck to all of us!
Posted by Jeff from Loveland, CO on 04/24/08 at 11:35 AM ET
Pundits predicting the Analmunch to advance seem to be forgetting that Joel Quenneville is the Red Wings’ prison wife. I don’t see that changing in this series.

Dear Dive Fans,
Please accept this in the spirit in which it is intended…
1)Prepare to get your asses kicked.
2)Don’t cry about bad calls, injuries or other nonsense.
3)Bring your best because we would have it no other way.
4)Eat sh*t and die.

Well Bob, I can’t speak for the others since I don’t live in your shithole state with your bandwagon fans eating your meatless meals standing guard over the trees and picketing whatever cause has your skirt hiked this week.
All I can say is that different reasons send different people to different places. Employment, family, whatever. The fact that those Wing fans stayed loyal instead of climbing on the Dive wagon makes them friends of mine. And if they’re giving you grief about your choice of teams, if they make you angry or sad, if you’re doubting your role in a masculine society because Wing fans are near by? Then I’ll drink about 19 beers in their honor tonite.
Wanna know why Bob? Cause that’s how I roll motherfu**er. Now take your medicine and head back to aerobics class.

It is soo great watching you over-confident, aging, ice posers try to relive the glory days when being a Red Wing fan meant something. It is the same talk, over and over again, we used to be good, but who do you got now, no one that scares me. Yes, we do hate Red Wing fans, you do suck; all you want to do is mar, injure and beat-up the Avs, no matter whether you win or lose. Do you even care about the game? I know what a good rivalry is, and I’m sure I wont miss any sleep if D McC misses anytime, but I’m not rooting for injuries, I want to see good hockey, which loses its appeal when teams like the wings and wild cant take losing anymore and goon it up, which will happen, because you know you cant take the pressure when you are getting run over by a 6 seed with all the pieces coming together at just the right time. Tell Draper to stay away from the boards, it would be a shame to reconstruct him again. Do you really think Osgood will steal any games from us? NO. Are you scared Theo will? YES!
RED WINGS SUCK!

Avaholic, put the bottle down. the Wings gooning it up? are you serious? have you even watched a single Wings game this year?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/24/08 at 01:48 PM ET
Oh boy, ‘Avaholic’ (?), I COULD point out the irony of you complaining about how all the Wings want to do is injure your precious team, then advising Draper to stay away from the boards in case one of your players tries to injure him, but I fear the lesson may be lost on the indelibly stupid.
our weapons are bigger and do more damage

so if you haven’t watched a single game, how can you know anything about their playing style? gooning it up couldn’t possibly be any farther from how they play.
They will goon it up, you can’t tell me McCarty will take a cheap shot at the Berg any chance he gets.
that’s right, I can’t tell you he will. man, go take an English class.
