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:

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

For those of you who submitted the proposed playoff banners, thank you.  I hope to get them up here before Thursday so that all can review and nitpick.  There’s a good chance that may have to wait until the weekend, however. 

In the meantime, Nate A has provided a classic image your families need to see.  The Stress Train is clearly full and just waiting to leave the station Thursday around 1400.  The club car, where commiseration and alcohol go hand in hand, will undoubtedly be the location of choice for most travelers.  Goaltending could very well be the reason most of you have found seats there already.

And so, the club car has officially been named, The Hasek.

All additional Stress Train imagery is welcome.

Nice pic ... now please share with all your devotees the significance of # 12219.  And don’t tell us there is none, you’re way too deep to label the Hasek with some random number.

Utah, I wondered the same thing.  I’d chalk it up to randomness if not for the number 19.  We’ll have to get the answer from Nate, who designed it.

Abel 2 Yzerman...duh!  I’m from Chicago and even I got it!

Posted by Matt from Chicago  on  04/08  at  10:32 AM

Well. I’m feeling pretty dumb.

Chief, there’s no shame in accidentally deleting the comments section.

Well, there’s a little shame, but we won’t tell anyone. wink

Yep, Matt from Chicago has it right.

Glad you enjoyed.

Damn that is brilliant.
