Please Forward To Blues Fans

It’s almost too incredible to believe, but--yes--there are fans of other teams out there who aren’t fond of you, or the Wings.  When you have the opportunity, you may want to send them this little ditty, as a reminder that the past, present and the future look a lot alike

It’s going to be a long time before the Wings fail to crack the top eight in the Western Conference or even fall to the point where they don’t own home-ice advantage in the first round.

The team simply mines too many golden nuggets from the latter part of the draft, which is usually barren ground for other clubs (for some teams, anything beyond the first round is a total crap shoot).

As much as I’d love to forward this to Blues fans I do not think they know how to read. The only two words they know how to spell is Fu#k Detroit.

Well, they don’t call them or their fans the Bitter Blues for nothing.

As for the article, he missed Ericsson...picked dead last in the 2002 draft.

Thus proving kate’s point, downey’s. Thanks for helping out.

Wow, I think downey’s is one of the VERY Bitter Blues fans.  Hey downey’s, how’s that 6-million dollar a year contract the Blues signed Kariya to working out for ya?  No goals in like, what, 25 games?  Money well spent if you ask me.

but none of us are superstitious, right o-joe?

i actually feel pretty good about saturday’s game.  preds will come out hitting, but i feel confident in the wing’s ability to respond. unfortunately i fully believe tootoo will be goading everyone like a motherhead. mccarty or downey will be smart, though, so there may not be a beat down unless the game is well in hand. actually i think that thurs close game prevented the preds from really head hunting the way they usually do.

Trotz has told them not to take penalties, because the Wings PP will kill them.  But if a game gets away from them, look out!

Speaking of powerplays...did anyone else see the Dallas - Anaheim game last night?

Baroque - yes I did.  The Poultry’s penalty trouble really bit them last night.

Watching the Caps/Flyers game.  Wow @ Fedorov.  He is still smooth as silk skating with the puck.  He just looks different, somehow, from everyone else.  You don’t even have to recognize him or see his number to know it’s him.

You stay classy DownySoftOne.

The contrast between PredNeck and the DownySoftOne is alarming.

The BBF are now taking potshots from Nashville fans - BRILLIANT (-!)

Forwarded to The Douche Canoe, Grapes, Chrissy Pronger, and Ron Wilson (special thanks to the NSA for their email addresses).  That’s my good deed for the day.  Time to chase cats and set fire to things…

A real ‘statement’ game today would help a lot, if not to send a message, then at least to ease steam pressure on the Stress Train.  Something along the lines of skill and smooth skating beating physicality would be good, something like the 5-0 shutout of the Poultry last year.  And everyone getting through injury-free, with no talk of suspensions (I didn’t see the hit, but the mutterings are making me nervous).  And while we’re at it Santa, I want a pony, ten thousand dollars cash, and a firetruck full of puppies and hookers.

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
