Not to throw out a curse, but this is about the most lopsided series since the sweep of the Capitals in 98. The Wings are rolling over them on all 4 lines. Drake, ValFil, hell even Sammy has sucked only a couple of times.
This is total Domination. Curse me now.

So I just wanted to say thanks Gary. Yes, you’re an ass, but you’re okay. Feel free to screw this league over for years to come if it means I get to keep watching the Wings spank the Avs in the playoffs.
Friends don’t let friends Praise Gary.

Did you know Sammy dove on that Foppa high stick?
FSN was showing Sammy’s new grin - minus a tooth. Dated should get a tooth yanked. Then we can laugh at him rolling around on the floor.

Damn you Bill, Damn you to Denver (i.e. Hell) LOL

Kronner has been silently dominant: 8 assists, most among any defensemen
and he has been consistently solid defensively. every game. what a steal. 29th overall in the draft. not as deep as we’re used to for a diamond in the rough, but consider the players taken before him…

I haven’t even heard of 90% of those guys.

Good Gawd PLEASE don’t go into the prevent defense
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/29/08 at 10:53 PM ET
Let me guess.. Sammy must have spit fake teeth on the ice too
Posted by jmara85 on 04/29/08 at 10:54 PM ET
LMFAO
look at Versus including Budaj’s stats in Theodore’s stats. idiots.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:55 PM ET
LMAO response to Dater’s accusation that Sam dove:
How can you dive in such a way that makes you bleed from your mouth?

Damn Sammy try shooting the puck AT the NET!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 10:55 PM ET
Samuelsson’s really looking good. And the Wings are in a frame of mind to close this out. Great start to the third.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/29/08 at 10:55 PM ET
The Mule missed the open net? what planet am I on?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:55 PM ET
HAvent been able to watch the game tonight, and internet I am on isn’t fast enough for streaming...one question:
Any mile high octopi tonight??
Posted by underthechestnuttree from LaSalle, Ontario, Canada on 04/29/08 at 10:56 PM ET
Thought I’d get the conversation started over there, too 
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 04/29/08 at 10:56 PM ET
Babcock splitting up Z and Dats on the PK. brilliant.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:57 PM ET
Not much urgency on the Dives PP. Wings are getting all the loose pucks
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 10:58 PM ET
Forsberg with a soft, easy, meandering turn along the boards.
Versus announcer:
Forsberg stops on a dime.
wow.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:58 PM ET
Versus announcer:
one, two, three, four, five, six
yet there were only three in the frame of the shot.
double wow.

Crikeys—lets Kill another
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 10:59 PM ET
The Av’s look discombobulated on the PP!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 11:00 PM ET
Meybe y’all covered this ... but is Versus showing the Dive feed? This is like watching Huck & Buck at the SoGay.
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 04/29/08 at 11:00 PM ET
that’s interesting, I don’t remember Detroit ever getting penalized for that during the regular season
Posted by scheisskopf on 04/29/08 at 11:00 PM ET
Stewie with the Jedi hip check on Floppa…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 11:00 PM ET
Fook
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/29/08 at 11:01 PM ET
puck on Sakic’s stick like that, you knew it was going in.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 11:01 PM ET
And then the total brain fart leading to a goal…
Bad Jedi.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 11:01 PM ET
Time for the Wings to show they can overcome adversity.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 11:02 PM ET
Av’s D still looks pretty damn porous
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 11:03 PM ET
no more Jedi Brain Farts please…
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/29/08 at 11:03 PM ET
Forsberg knocks down Kronwall, OBVIOUSLY, in front of the net...no call. bs.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 11:05 PM ET
I think Kronner owes Floppa a nice open ice bell ringer
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/29/08 at 11:06 PM ET
Paul, looked like a pretty clean hit to me. Kronner get his bell rung by Forsberg...and I say good for him. Get him mad.

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
