Tigers leading in the bottom of the 8th. Or is that hex broken by now?

Clark, I think that hex is done. We’ve been good the last couple games.

It pains me to say it, but I could see the Wings losing this game tonight.
I just finished covering the Raps-Magic NBA series (so I missed the first two games of Wings-Ava) but I think the matchup and talent level between the two teams in this series is very similar.
So if my theory holds true, the Avs will beat the Wings 4-2 or so tonight. Then Game 4 will be really close, but the Wings will pull it out in Denver, maybe in overtime. Then they will come back to Detroit and take care of business in Game 5.
If Forsberg and Hanan do play, and the crowd is nuts, it will be enough to push them over the top emotionally. It’s such a boost to come home to a rocking crowd when you’re down.
Hey I hope it don’t happen. I hope the Wings nail em to the wall tonight, and Theodore might let that happen. I just wanted to put my genius thought on the record somewhere.

Jayo, you are a Real Man of Genius.
I know this because my prediction is basically the same as yours, and I am a genius, too..
go wings

I usually just let ‘em rip Paul. I’ll read it afterward and correct any stupid spelling/grammar stuff, but for the most part it’s just kind of a mass spewage.

that’s what I figured. kind of hard to come up with the things you do if it’s planned. it has to come from inside.
I mean, oompa-loompas? wtf?!

Ugh. Bad omen. Versus is pre-empted by Petey McNab and John “Late Night Sneaky Uncle” Kelly… As bad as Versus is, this is terrible…
Hopefully these two are sobbing in each other’s arms by the end of the night…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 09:05 PM ET
Versus pulling in the big advertisers again. I’m a Hermosa Group constituent for sure.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/29/08 at 09:06 PM ET
Good omen. Milan Hedge-Duck looks sad when John Kelly gazes into his dreamy baby blues…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 09:07 PM ET
Something wrong....Versus is showing the Hearns/Leonard fight here in W. Michigan...I am NOT HAPPY!
Posted by Scott H from Kalamazoo on 04/29/08 at 09:07 PM ET
Hurry up, Tigers! Come on Bautista. Put it (the inning) away!
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/29/08 at 09:07 PM ET
Well guys here we go again. Go Wings!
I just don’t know if I can stay up all night to watch this one. I’m still recovering from surgery and I’m all loaded up with Vicodin tonight.
Here’s hoping I don’t bust a suture open yelling at the teevee.

If you get FSN Detroit, it’s on there once the Tigers are done.

time to bust out the Red Bull and vodka. damn late games.

wow, that was about the slowest icing whistle I’ve ever seen.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 09:12 PM ET
Tomorrow morning is going to suck.
So far...so good.
Who would have thought that the can would have a waste management logo at center ice? Fitting.
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 04/29/08 at 09:12 PM ET
Agreed with earlier comments about the likely loss tonight...or at least tomorrow. Unlikely we’re getting the sweep, but I’m not too worried.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/29/08 at 09:13 PM ET
no holding call against the Avs on Datsyuk. do the refs realize the game started?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 09:15 PM ET
Now we see why the likely loss. Looks like they refs are going to make up for that 3rd period from last game with no calls.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/29/08 at 09:15 PM ET
Definitely letting them play. At least three penalties that could have been called either way.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/29/08 at 09:16 PM ET
anybody know Babcock’s record on his birthday?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 09:16 PM ET
If it’s gonna be like that, it’s time to man up, boys.
Nik Jr., Dallas, Darren (and the other Darren) ... time to do yer thang.
Posted by Jayo from Toronto on 04/29/08 at 09:17 PM ET
but they’re going to call that hook on Kronwall? ridiculous.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 09:18 PM ET
Ugh… this isn’t good. But maybe it’ll spark the Wings to step up their play.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/29/08 at 09:18 PM ET
First LaDERRIER lays out the dirtiest hit of the series…
Then the Dive score a weak one.

Somebody needs a f***** beat down…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 09:21 PM ET
70 degrees in Denver and the ice is “the worst so far in the playoffs” according to the Wings. methinks the Avs want the puck bouncing all over the place. but hey, it’s not like they painted the visitors’ locker room last night or anything…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 09:21 PM ET
Jesus...there’s no fight in this team. Kronner not following through on a hit?
Though it’s unlikely the Avs can keep up the tempo.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/29/08 at 09:22 PM ET
Mule Time???
Posted by BP29er from Livonia,MI on 04/29/08 at 09:22 PM ET
So that was McLeod with the goal...who per NHL rules should have been suspended following the ‘pus throwing incident...against anyone but the Wings.
Thanks, Gary. Ass.
Posted by number9 on 04/29/08 at 09:22 PM ET
don’t get sour already, people! the goal was a good one by the Avs. they don’t have near the energy I would expect them to have considering the importance of the game, and the Wings look good so far. time for the PP, and even up the game.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 09:22 PM ET
one consilation to that first goal is we now have LaDerrier to hate and target… who’s down for sending LaD a good old knuckle sandwich, d-Mac?
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 04/29/08 at 09:24 PM ET
I thought homer had two for sure that shift alone. He’s looking a little more active. Man, this is gonna be a frigging nail biter. Might as well drink.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/29/08 at 09:25 PM ET
Who is this WHOdler fellow they keep mentioning?

Argh. Off the freaking post.

C’mon Ozzie.....
Posted by BP29er from Livonia on 04/29/08 at 09:27 PM ET
bad ice. god forbid they take care of it in denver like they do in any other self respecting hockey town
Only over 1/6th through the game and I’d agree with Paul
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 04/29/08 at 09:27 PM ET
Might as well drink.
Now THATS an understatement…

Stars won, eh? Bet Thornton’s feeling pretty stupid about that commercial he filmed.

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.' ”
