Douche Canoe was on the WDIV pregame with Mick and Bernie. I only caught the last part where Bernie asked him if he was ever scared to be the guy between the benches.

Pierre was hypothetically “coach of the Red Wings” and asked what to do if he were the coach. surprised he didn’t say “there’s nothing they can do, they’re finished.” Ass.

Jumpin’ That bald fella broadcastin’ from pit row is uglier than a heapin’ pile of smashed a$$holes.

these idiots on NBC talking about “does top line against top line cancel anything out?” “No, I don’t think so.” Derrrrr look at the stats moron.

Alright. So everyone agrees that nobody’s going to text the scores to the Chief, right? I mean, I think I have his number here somewhere, you know, in case you want to just call and say hi. Maybe pass along some bowling tips. But you absolutely aren’t going to text him, right?
Because that would be wrong.

uh oh. that went over the line before the net came off.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/12/08 at 02:23 PM ET
Umm...is there always a security guy standing behind Pierre?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/12/08 at 02:23 PM ET

Ellis looks shaky!!
Nash is pinching giving the Wings lots of counter attack opportunities

Does anybody else hate the on bench interviews during the game as much as I do?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from the back of the Hasek car drinking heavily on 04/12/08 at 02:43 PM ET

Behind Ellis’ left shoulder there’s a chick with a red V neck top with huge jugs. Awesome. About 2 rows up.

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

POOL: HOW LONG INTO THE NBC BROADCAST BEFORE DOUCHE CANOE ATTRIBUTES THE WINGS GAME 1 WIN TO LUCK AND A SERIES SWEEP BY NASHVILLE IS INEVITABLE?
