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 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

Updated 1914,16 June:  Obviously, relinquishing control of this thing was just too difficult.  First pic of the summer added below.

As previously published, I’m on Summer (of Stanley) vacation.  And since I am, I offer you this.

A month-long live blog.  Do with it what you will.

The Legend? It Lives On From The Chippewa On Down.  In Its Honor?  An NHL Awards Show Live Blog

I’ll be editing this as we move along.

Gordie Howe, Lifetime Achievement Award?  Could it have gone to anyone else?

Lidstrom, Norris?  Check. Legendary.  2nd Best Ever?  Maybe.  Maybe Better.

Datsyuk, Selke? Check.  “Long speech, but English is little.”

Zetterberg, Selke? Denied, but with a big old consolation trophy.

Datsyuk, Byng? Check. There was no doubt.

Chelios, Masterson? Denied, but with a Cup, and still with a job...allegedly.

Uncle Mike Babcock, Adams?  Denied, but there is no doubt, none, who the best coach in the NHL is.

It’s a dynastic Live Blog.

Team Dub just suggested a liveblog on the post hi-jacked by hippies and criminals below.  We’ll start it here while I try and find a feed on the computer.  NHL Network has screwed me again. Blacked out.

For your reading pleasure at intermission.  Notice the selective use of exclamation points, always an indicator...at least in my book.

“Being named Hockeytown USA just confirms what all of our young players and their families believe, that we truly are the State of Hockey,” added Mark Jorgensen, Executive Director of Minnesota Hockey. “We’re proud to be a small part of that with so many other great hockey organizations!”

Oh...and there’s also this from Hockeytown (minus the Cups) USA.

And the final word from “the new Hockeytown’s” finest?

Mike Ilitch won’t let me in the Joe.  As a paying customer? Sure.  As a blogger? Not a chance. 

Ted Leonsis?  Now that’s a different story.  Yep. Live blogging from the home of the Caps who are down already to future Wing Olli Jokinen and the Panthers.  More to come.  Wings news at intermission.
