Fill—must be gripping the stick too freaking tight

Good work by the Oompa Loompa and Cleary

The Music City pit boss’ belly-aching combined with some bad pie has given me a bad case of the berry trots.
Posted by O-Joe from a Cracker Barrel somewheres on I-65 on 04/12/08 at 03:06 PM ET
Yes, lets go to the capitals and the hell with this game! Can we hear what Babs has to say....I miss Mickey and Dan.
Posted by dwingsrock on 04/12/08 at 03:06 PM ET
I wish Mickey had a contract with NBC. He’s awesome.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/12/08 at 03:09 PM ET
Nah, dwing, they have to do interviews for the game they’re covering while the game is going on.
It covers up they’re ineptness at play-by-play.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/12/08 at 03:09 PM ET
I love Mickey! I met Dan in Nashville at a game...he is cool, too!
Posted by dwingsrock on 04/12/08 at 03:10 PM ET
OK guys, I get your all Wings fans, but Mickey Redmond is not THAT great.
Yeah, Doc Emrick and his 35 years calling hockey games and his total ineptness is just showing through now. If anything, letting Doc take over more of the show would help the broadcast.
Also, Pierre and Milbury more phantom coaching.
Pierre: I have 2 Cups…
Yeah, as an assistant. To Bob Johnson and Scotty Bowman! With Lemieux and Jagr and Francis! How much could you have done? What did you blowdry Jagr’s curls every night?
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/12/08 at 03:12 PM ET
Well we have heard 17 different times on what the Preds have to do to win...hows about the Wings???…
Oh here it is..."They look good.”
Arrrrggggghhhh...............
Posted by Rumbear from the den.... on 04/12/08 at 03:13 PM ET
Sorry Steve, Redman played for us and In IMO...I think he is very versed in Wings hockey.
Posted by dwingsrock on 04/12/08 at 03:15 PM ET
So, Milbury isn’t very free with his compliments, is he?
“Hasek’s been okay. Is okay good enough, Pierre?”
Emphasis how he said it.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/12/08 at 03:15 PM ET
@Steve...Mick’s great at color commentary.
Despite him missing most of one lung.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/12/08 at 03:15 PM ET
That’s fair, but at NBC it’s not their job to be versed in Wings hockey.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/12/08 at 03:16 PM ET
It’s not their job to cheer lead whoever is playing the Wings either. Or isn’t supposed to be anyway.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/12/08 at 03:18 PM ET
Preds have been offsides like 20 times today
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/12/08 at 03:19 PM ET
Wings are looking tight here to start the third
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/12/08 at 03:21 PM ET
Somebody needs to breathe a little intensity into the Wings
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/12/08 at 03:23 PM ET
Neither, Ma’s not stupid...he would do more damage than good at this point, unless he can get TooToo off the ice for 5 minutes.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/12/08 at 03:24 PM ET
Looks like both teams are really tight
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/12/08 at 03:25 PM ET
offsides? are you kidding me? how can the officiating be THIS bad?!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/12/08 at 03:25 PM ET
If it turned out to be even penalties, not bad. It’d get the crowd going too. Maybe an intensity infusion.
Eh. Maybe.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/12/08 at 03:27 PM ET
“Plenty of time for Nashville”....can you blow the whole team?????
Posted by dwingsrock on 04/12/08 at 03:28 PM ET
Eddie O notes the obvious --NSH pinching the “D” my money says the Wings will have a few odd man rushes—just like that two on one with Dats glorious chance
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/12/08 at 03:29 PM ET
Both teams buppin’ and blockin’. Not a whole lot of clean air out there right now.

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
