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

Back in Michigan for the weekend.  Will be at the UM/MSU game at the Joe this evening.  Believe I need a chiropractor after driving up I75 this morning.  Will try to work a little live-blog action from JLA during the game.

I think I’m going to the game tonight too. Except, since I won’t be in the press box, nor do I have an iPhone, nor can I do whatever you’re planning on doing, I cannot live blog.

Where were you?!  Driving up I75 in the white death...crazy.

At least the sun is shining.  It’s a nice change from the last...oh, five months or so.

Keep an eye on Abdelkader.
Kenny might sign him to replace Cleary before Tuesday’s deadline!  wink)

At least five.  But here near Corpus Christi, on a little R and R for the past few days, the cold and 100+ inches of UP snow is fading into a distant memory. cool smile

good weekend to be home. Yeah, the roads still suck.  But, we are the home of the great Detroit Redwings.  Hey, ya take the good with the bad, eh!

I love reading all of the info.....but let’s have some perspective about the road quality. Really? Bumpy roads? Let’s think about what the minors are like. Let’s think about what juniors is like. You’re a blogger/wannabe journalist right? Welcome to actually having to earn your stripes. I will continue coming to this page for the info....but don’t expect any sympathy for having to actually earn your scoops.
