It really points out how long his career was when you see how absurdly young he was in a few of those clips. He was just a puppy when he started playing for Detroit.

I always knew there was something wrong with that guy wearing that goofy helmet and all.

Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Is nhl network showing the induction thing, if so, when?

Celebrate the Stevie
Always. Without question my all-time favorite athlete. No other even comes close. Pure talent, pure class. He never forgot who it was that ultimately paid his salary, and he epitomized #7’s manta.
The irony on goal 2 is palpable, in so many ways.

Franzen - - Monday night, 7:00 eastern.

7pm Monday is the Induction Ceremony.

Stealin’ post titles from me old man? I kid—I know you’re busy with boats and stuff.
Yzerman is God. Somebody should make a blog that commemorates this and update it more than once every 6 months. *#$%@& injuries ... with some formaldehyde and steroids this man could still be playing. I miss his musk.

MCCRIMMON?

anyone read the article posted on KK about Monster’s achilles heel....sounds like the game plan should be to dump the puck in and make him play it and apply pressure.....that said i’ve watched him in almost every game he’s started this year, and i think he is really really good. so if he starts, it could be another 2-1 type game.

Howdy bitches. I’ve been in Toronto for one hour and I’ve seen a Ford GT40 on the highway an impromptu parade, and a guy get pulled over by a bicycle cop. I love this city.
I’m working on my induction speech and all I’ve got so far is “STEVE YZERMAN, FUCH YEAH. SCREW YOU, LIL’ GARY YOU COCKSUCKER”
Good, right?

I’m still sad I never heard Lubomir Visnovsky and Vitaly Vishnevski on the same team.

You have to give a shout out to Rafs and also a reference to a banana hammock.

The goals look great anytime

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
"A2Y is what other blog sites aspire to be when they fail to grow up: intelligent immaturity for the juvenile genius set”
--Captain Dennis Polonich, of the 19

I’m glad I could finally add something productive to the board by putting up dangles comments, sadly I celebrated the stevie too much last night, I feel like I took a hit to the head by kronwall, so of course I’m back at the bar watching football, sheesh, my liver hates me
