Separate thoughts, separate paragraphs. A paragraph isn’t defined by its length. Or is that too hard of a concept for you?

“I’ve had my childish fun for now, but I’m sure I’ll swing back by later.”

It isn’t be time for your afternoon nap already, is it? Don’t forget to take your Flinstone vitamins and make sure to tell mommy and daddy when you feel #2 coming so they can wipe your ass when you’re done.

See, this is the quality I’ve come to expect from the A2Y 19. Fall in line, Avs bloggers.

O-Joe: “Jibblescribbits can nibble me giggly jibblets”

AndrewB: “Poop”

Why is it that on one hand you can criticize us for taking hockey too seriously, but on the other hand you whole-heartedly support my (tongue-in-cheek) assessment that us Wings fans are all immature goofs that like a good poop joke? Does that sound like a fanbase that’s taking it too seriously? The point here is that it lies somewhere in between, so let’s just get over that argument now.

And let’s call a spade a spade, motherf*ckers (because that’s how we roll). You’re absolutely right that the Wings and their fanbase have more riding on this series than the Avs. But please get the delusion out of your head that it has anything to do with a rivalry that died six years ago.

Rather, it has everything to do with the last six years involving a few things:
- Dive fans having expectations reset as a result of a crappy management performing stupid trades, stupid free agent signings, and mediorcre drafting
- Detroit fans having expectations maintained at the highest level possible as a result of the best management in (likely) all of sports performing shrewd trades at the right time, good free agent signings, and stellar drafting, all things considered

So, yes. I won’t argue with your assessment that we, as Wings fans, will be far more dissapointed if the Avs win than you will be if the Wings win. But the reasons you cite are completely incorrect.

Now that the serious talk is done…

Farts. LOL.

You can take things too seriously but still like a good poop joke.  I take a lot of things too seriously but I still laugh my ass off when a good fart or poop jokes is broken out.

I guess I think - high expectations or not - Wings fans need to handle disappointment better when their team doesn’t win the Cup every year. Or when they lose a game.  Or don’t shutout out the opposing team every game. Or nearly blow a 3 goal lead.

That’s what I consider living in reality.

Posted by Shane from Saskatoon on 04/25/08 at 12:51 PM ET

Although I will regret giving you guys some more fodder to burn on, I know many of you Detroit fans cannot be happy with the way the game played out last night other than the final score.  I know you are scared of us.  We punched, you countered with a flurry, but we didnt get knocked down, we got back up, the game ended with us on the attack.  One freak goal was the difference in the game, bouncing in the air 30 feet, only to drop in the net.  The rest of the goals on both sides were legit, both teams played hard(at times) and this should have gone to OT 3-3.  You are scared of Smyth, and Stastny is just starting to find him playoff game.  And Foppa will be back, he won’t miss the entire series.  We can play with you, we proved it.

Yea, it hurt to lose, but a series is a series, first to 4 wins and its not over until it is over.  You had us on the ropes, but we fought back, we wont quit.  We haven’t all year.  The NHL season is grueling.  “Didnt make the playoffs until game 81.” You try and play without your captain for 1/2 the year, and only to get him rushed back from injury to attempt to make the playoffs.  Yea, Holmstrom missed some time, but not in comparisson to what we’ve missed.  May I also remind everyone the we play in the most competitive division in hockey (I know you love playing Ca.  It must be nice to get the Hawks, Jackets and Blues 8 times a year.  Give me that division and we’ll give you a presidents cup.  You can take that Presidents Cup and parade it all over Hockeytown for all I care.  When the STANLEY CUP is hoisted in COLORADO, where will you be?  You try and play without your captain for 1/2 the year, and only to get him rushed back from injury to attempt to make the playoffs.  Yea, Holmstrom missed some time, but not in comparisson to what we’ve missed.  The make up of our team is so different from what you saw in the regular season.  We are now in our season, playoff time, the one that counts the most. 

I just want game 7.  If you win, maybe you can get a little respect, if we win, come to Colorado and have some granola on me.

Not a whole lot, no.  But viewership is still up and that’s fine by me. Even if I had only 10 regular readers, I’d continue to write because I love the Avalanche, I love hockey and I love writing.

That’s also why I’m here now.  If I didn’t give a shit, would I still be here commenting and having fun? No.  But I do care and do enjoy the interaction.

Although I’d prefer it at a maturity level higher than a preschooler.

Good G*d, it’s nice to see Thhhhhommmy is still an unhinged lunatic, completely separated from reality.

Enjoy!

Tonight, I will be rooting for the San Jose Sharks to put Calgary away. There are a couple reasons for this, not the least of which is that the more Canadian franchises that are eliminated, the better. The one exception is the Montreal Canadiens, but that’s because I make money every time they win, and Quebec isn’t really part of Canadia anyway.

We’ve already beaten a one-line team. Quite handily, actually. The Wild are a better team than the Wings are, and they play better team defense (which is really saying something - the Wild are the ONLY team that plays better team defense than the Wings do).

Insanity, thy name is Thhhomass.

I didn’t make the mommy and daddy comment you did, so that’s rich.  However, we obviously enjoy the interaction as well.  Re-read Nathan’s comment. We’re all just having a good time.  But we’re all serious.  And we’re just joking too, in a serious manner. Oh, screw it, we’re all secretly weeping and shaking inside.

I think you get it, but if you don’t then you aren’t going to like the comments on here should (notice I said should ) we lose a game or two.

Posted by Shane from Saskatoon on 04/25/08 at 01:30 PM ET

That was part of it, I guess what I was saying is that those cup teams of pre-lockout to Avs fans feel like a different era for us Avs fans. Since we went through a brief rebuilding period we feel we are at the beginning of a new era. Red Wings fans clearly feel like the era is the same.

it’s funny to me to see Avs fans talking about eras.  as if they have any, or have had any.

We can play with you, we proved it.

actually, if you want to compare “A” games, you proved you can’t.  the Wings had their A game in the first period.  they relaxed, and let the Avs back into the game.  had they run their A game for 60 minutes, the Avs never would have gotten close.

Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/25/08 at 01:33 PM ET

I just had an Ranger fan friend of mine call me to see how I felt about the game last night.  Baroque - speaking of certifiable, he definitely is as a Rangers fan.  I told him I wasn’t happy with the game.  I’m glad the Wings won but it should never have been that close.  If the Wings had won that game, say 6-1 or something that would have been much more of a statement.  Here’s my tired old line, I just wish they would play sixty minutes of consistent hockey for one game.

I don’t get poop jokes but then again, I think that has something to do with gender.

Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 04/25/08 at 01:42 PM ET

As much as i love our team, they left the ice after the first period thinking it would be a cakewalk, and I think, underestimated the Dive. Instead of going straight for the jugular and running up the score, they tried only to protect a lead.  This is playoff hockey and if it ends in a high scoring game, the Wings need to be the team with the winning goal. Thank heaven for our Silver Lining, Chris Osgood, with 8 seconds left!

What about that 1-in-1000 chance 2nd goal that went 30ft. into the air and in. What about Hejduk hitting the post? You guys won purely on luck, and the fact that 3 of our best players were injured. Either all you fans are too dumb to realize that, you are all just overly cocky, or you know that deep down you should have lost this game and are hiding behind your cockiness.

I look forward to the rest of this series (especially if the Avs get at least some of those guys back).

honestly, who is the dumbass that would believe such drivel?
The Wings lit his ass up! He got pulled and was humiliated.  “I wasn’t feeling good” ... horseshit! Buck up 3/4, the Dominator was pulled one time ago… it happens.  Take the ribbing and move on rather than look like a Versus analyst.

Turd!

Posted by cementslinger from Midland MI on 04/25/08 at 03:07 PM ET

Dub,

I’ll glady concede to the Avs fans that the Wings won because of the Avs health issues.

Why, you ask?

Because the win is all that matters. It’s part of the game. Wings lost the conference last year because of injuries. It’s a reason, but the fact remains that they still lost, and the Ducks are still the Cup champions. And I’m fine with that. No revisionist history coming from me.

Posted by Nathan on 04/25/08 at 03:09 PM ET

I think Nate A. is right. The Wings’ division records should be posted somewhere on the page so visiting fans from other teams can get a clue that Detroit sucked against Gary’s Division this year and dominated the others, especially the big, bad Northwest.

And Avsfan, if you want to talk posts, I believe the Wings hit 2 or 3 last night as opposed to the Avs’ 1. So don’t even bring posts into this discussion.

Posted by DerekW on 04/25/08 at 03:15 PM ET

Nathan: Exactly!!!

The Wings barely won last night’s game. I can admit that. But what happens if they barely win the next game? And the one after that? And after that one? A win is a win, just as a garbage goal still counts for the same amount as a Datsyuk breakaway on Vokoun or Turco!

Posted by DerekW on 04/25/08 at 03:19 PM ET

The Avs had a sick Theodore, NO Forsberg, NO Wolski

um, Wolski was playing in the first when the Avs were getting smoked.  so you make zero sense.  as for Theodore, why was he the starter if he was sick?  hint: that he’s sick is bullsh!t.  it’s an excuse.

and they STILL almost won! What about that 1-in-1000 chance 2nd goal that went 30ft. into the air and in.

1-in-1000?  how long have you been watching hockey?  I’ve seen it happen quite a number of times.

What about Hejduk hitting the post?

what about Datsyuk hitting the post?

You guys won purely on luck

LMFAO

and the fact that 3 of our best players were injured. Either all you fans are too dumb to realize that, you are all just overly cocky, or you know that deep down you should have lost this game and are hiding behind your cockiness.

Colorado Avalanche forward Wojtek Wolski will not play in Game 2 against the Detroit Red Wings and likely will miss the rest of the second-round series because of a bologna curtain injury.

Avalanche coach Joel Quenneville expects Jose Theodore to play Saturday after being pulled and sent to the hotel during Game 1 because he was shelled.

Well, most of that is a direct quote.

Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 04/25/08 at 03:38 PM ET

Man, I know they’re on my side, but Avs fans who start rolling out “if” excuses are pretty lame.  They’re sounding like Hilary Clinton’s advisors now.

The only if that matters is this:

The Avs would have won the game if they had scored more goals than the Red Wings.  Game 2, they’ll get another chance.  There’s not much else to say.

Posted by Joe on 04/25/08 at 03:43 PM ET

You know, if Mr. and Mrs. Stuart had done a better job of family planning, Lilja would’ve been in the press box last night (where he belongs) and Chelios wouldn’t have played as many minutes, so the Vagalanche wouldn’t have even come close to scoring three.

And like I said, even if he hasn’t read this yet, I have faith that his sixth sense is tripping like mad, alerting him to the fact that we’ve created a thread of comments that include such gems as:

------------------

“Did the Dive team gynecologist stay home in Denver? That would explain the vagina problems.”

“If the groin was tense, then I’d expect the usual rub-down from the training team would hit the spot...”

“Colorado Vagalanche?”

“Just jumped over to Dribblesquirts blog and he’s talking nonsense.”

“Lastly, did Ricci really become a transvestite?”

“What I do know is that ‘Jibblescribbits’ has to be the gayest damn name for a blog I’ve ever seen. Someone please tell me ‘Jibble’ is a chick. If not, well, then, he should’ve just named it I *Heart* Scrotums and been done with it.”

“Poop!”

“Come talk to me in 50 years if your mouth-breathing fanbase still even has a team. Maybe you’ll understand then. Bitch.”

“Jibblescribbits can nibble me giggly jibblets...”

“Damn hormones ‘n lust ‘n things turning our brains to oatmeal ‘n whatnot”

“I’ve had my childish fun for now, but I’m sure I’ll swing back by later. Meanwhile, eat me.”

“Farts. LOL.”

“Maybe that piece of skin between the rectum and the bottom of the scrotum?”

“...Euphemism for female genitalia, I think. Sort of like ‘bologna curtains.’”

“...’taint your ass and ‘taint your nuts!”

“...you’re an ignorant boob.”

Pretty harsh, Dub.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Three-or-four was sick last night--sick of watching his forwards not back-checking and seeing his defensemen bleeding from their arses.

Posted by O-Joe on 04/25/08 at 03:54 PM ET

Some good news, some ominous news from the Anti-Digger:

From Macomb Daily reporter Chuck Pleiness ...
Defenseman Brad Stuart was back to work and will be in the lineup, Saturday, for Game 2. After being home in California for the birth of his second child, Stuart should bump Andreas Lilja out of the Detroit lineup tomorrow.
Today’s practice was optional. Pavel Datsyuk and Tomas Holmstrom weren’t on the ice. Datsyuk was reported as being ill.

To me, it’s pretty clear that Datsyuk is banged up. But it hasn’t shown in his performance. Hopefully, off-day rest will keep him at peak performance through the post-season.

Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 04/25/08 at 03:57 PM ET

I know, O-Joe, I know…

BUT, I also have it on fairly good authority that both the Forsberg and Wolski injuries are the result of a pre-game trib session taken a wee too far.

Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 04/25/08 at 04:03 PM ET

And just in case anyone was wondering, or certain fans forgot, the Avs went 7-12-1 against the “weaker” central division. Also note how they were 20-10-2 against the “the most competitive division in hockey”.

Good for you, you got the points, but just who’s mopping up on their division?

To me, it’s pretty clear that Datsyuk is banged up.

Of course he’s banged up.  Both our high-scoring Selke candidates are banged up. 

Other than when he whiffed on a one-timer while on the PP last night, I can’t remember the last time Zetterberg took a shot off his forehand.  The Cortizone hasn’t been helping his bad wrist much, it appears.

The silver lining in all this, of course, is that we Wings fans have an Avstard-like excuse for every game Detroit loses (if any) in this series.

Posted by O-Joe on 04/25/08 at 04:41 PM ET

Shane:

If the Avalanche lose this series, sure it will hurt.  Yes, I’ll be upset.  Yes, I’ll swear a bit and sulk around the house the rest of the night.

But the next day I’ll wake up, turn on the tube, watch the highlights and get ready for more hockey because the playoffs will still be going.

…

But I don’t live and die by their successes or failures. And I think it’s kind of sad when any person has that mentality over a sports team.

Wow.  You think you have it all figured out, don’t you?

You’re not a fan.  You’re not even a supporter.  People like you make me sick to my stomach.  You instigate me.  People like you weren’t born into a sport.  Not born into a sports jersey.

You weren’t born into an Avalanche jersey – unless, of course you are fifteen, which does not seem that unlikely when you think about it for a minute.  You have no idea what it means to live and die with the team you were brought up to love.  Yes, I said love.  Something you’re probably more comfortable with using in the company of other fifteen year old neighborhood boys.

What you don’t understand is that a real fan doesn’t just turn off the TV and “swear a bit” then “sulk around the house”.  A real fan doesn’t “wake up, turn on the tube … and get ready for more hockey”.  It’s over right there and then.  When you lose, you stop living for a moment.  Time almost stops and it’s as if you hear your parents, grandparents and ancestors — yes those other people, fans long before we were born — turn over in their graves.  As a Dive, by default these are things you will never understand.

There is no so called fan less deserving of victory than the apologetic group of people around the Vagalanche.  Don’t get up.  Stay there, relaxed in your armchair.  Let than herbal footbath simmer and sink in, tickle in between your toes.  Pick up your latest copy of the Gentleman Quarterly, well broken in already as it almost automatically flicks open to your favorite Hugo Boss model.  Look at his fantastic five day stub (is that the reason why you enjoy the playoffs?) and have a go at it.  You’ll feel better afterwards as you realize that sports and ice hockey in particular, really was never meant for you.

That’s what I consider living in reality.

You know what else is real?  Have a look at this video clip: http://youtube.com/watch?v=LXWUTo3QwFw

Sometimes it seems the Europeans got it just right.  Sometimes sports is war.  We need to borrow a page from their book and rid the world of people like you.  God Damn I feel alive.

In their reality, “fans” like yourself would be killed and had for dinner by the real fanatics of their own team by you calling yourselves fans.  Luckily for you, by definition there are no real Dive fans, so relax, go back to reading that magazine of yours and leave hockey to us, the sad people who have “that mentality over a sports team.” The people who don’t know what a paragraph is.

but I’ll repeat it here too just because it’s late and I’m bored.

“A real fan doesn’t “wake up, turn on the tube … and get ready for more hockey””

Just watch me.  You see, I have the balls to be able to stand up after a loss, suck up the pain, take it like a man, and move on.

I guess I didn’t realize Red Wings fans were lacking testicles - proverbial ones so to speak so the ladies don’t feel left out.

And as an addendum, in case your brain couldn’t grasp it, I do care deeply about this team.  Do you think I’d expend the energy I do if I didn’t care about the team?  Are you seriously that dense to think I’d recap every game and provide commentary throughout the season for a team I wasn’t a fan of?

It’s tough for me to grasp that sort of short-sighted stupidity.
