First, well not first...we’ll get to first in a minute. A few months ago one of the chuckleheads over at The Site That Charges Idiots To Pay For Rumors wrote a column predicting The Implosion by Christmas.
Not sure what Christmas he meant by that, or what his definition of implosion is/was. But the Christmas I grew up ruining for my brother by waking him up with dirty socks in his mouth came and went without any of the predicted controversy in Wing camp.
I truly have no idea why anyone (blogger or mainstreamer) would consider adding their name to the list of knuckleheads who actually write for Dwayne Klessel, but they do and each thing they write is open for direct fire from yours truly. Frankly, I occasionally visit the site specifically to see if a Wing blogger has been added to the column of lackeys who submit swill there. Oh, I wait for the day he/she appears.
Today’s tool? Dwayne his own self.
I do need to add that GMs are constantly tinkering and many of them are on the hot seat right now. They want to keep their jobs like everyone else does. You would be amazed at how much talk is already going on about UFA’s this coming summer between agents and GMs. I hear about stuff everyday, and after the deadline that will intensify I am sure. What I am hearing now is a lot of, “Well if we can clear enough room, we know _____ has interest in coming here.”
Yes, Dwayne, we’re amazed GM’s are looking one month ahead to the deadline.
Yes, Dwayne, we’re sure you “hear about stuff every day.” Get hot on that collusion story. We’re all waiting.
That manifesto followed this gem.
VERY Hot rumor right now. According to three different sources, plus I have had three people in the media emailing me about this in the last two hours.
Speculation is that The Hawks would get either St. Louis or Richards in the deal. I would imagine that Tampa would get something in addition as well…
Thankfully, I’m not the only one. One of his own paying readers called him out on this one.
Oh Eklund, what will you think of next? There are a few reasons why this doesn’t make sense....
1. St. Louis is T-2nd in scoring and he has the most affordable contract of Tampa’s “big 3”. You think they will be the Boston of this season? St. Louis is RW, Chicago already has their #1 RW in Havlat.2. Richards is very overpaid, why would Chicago want to take that on? They are already trying to dump overpaid players, why take on one more.
I think this rumor will going into the very full category of something Ekland made up that never happened.
I will say this though, IF this does happen, Chicago wins out big time. Khabibulin could be replaced next season via free agency and at a cheaper price...Biron, Mason etc…- Jimi
Will I take a certain level of offense at any man intentionally spelling his name “Jimi”, I applaud him for his response. For every piece of BS Dwayne throws out there, there is an equal amount of fact and logic to combat his imagination.
Dwayne’s reply?
I agree with some of your points however, I do not make things up. If I did we’d have far more rumors around here.
God, if I was a chick I’d be saying “LOL” right about now. Give me an hour and I’ll tally the trades this guy made up out of thin air. Luckily for him, he didn’t make his first million writing fiction.
I made my own fame in a completely different world until the lockout came and I started the blog when I felt the sport I worshipped was being thrown to the dogs. And people responded. My few contacts quickly spread to hundreds of others. People from a sport that had imploded on itself. Now I have become part of it. And it still holds a certain magic to it.
A completely different world, eh Dwayne? Enough of this, I have to go watch the Wedding Singer. You’ve seen it, right Dwayne?
Woops.

I give your criticism an E5 
Oy, vey. It’s kind of sad reading him making up stuff now. He may as well start up a personal blog these days--most of December was, “Yay, I am on vacation!”
Gah. It’s like watching somebody repeatedly kick himself in the groin. It’s kinda funny and yet painful to see.

According to http://greyeyeglances.com/ that is Dwayne Keith Klessel. Check out the “Press” page. Sad part is, though classic rock is more my taste, their music’s not bad for what it is. Dwayne should stick to the music.

I suppose I’m being thick, but can someone explain the Wedding Singer joke?

I’m a member. No, I don’t pay (nor would I ever). I almost got banned for calling him “Dwayner” once. Apparently it’s against the rules to call him by his name. Funny stuff.

Love it, as someone who is in the know about Dwayne, nice to see someone give him what he deserves.
By the way Dwayne, whatever happened to that job you had working for an NHL team?

I’m a long time hockey fan but pretty new to this blog scene. (although I’m up on the techno-ether that is the internet - such is my generation haha). This guy sounds like a real tool. The sort that is addicted to fantastical lies and the attention they bring.
That said, I’m a bit thick on it too: what is the wedding singer reference?! ...havent seen it in a while.

Dwayne Keith Klessel was rumored to be Eklund from hockeybuzz.com Who is Eklund. This was proven to be false however when on June 24th 2006 Grey Eye Glances and Dwayne performed at the Burlington County, NJ Amphitheatre on the same evening and time Eklund appeared on XM RADIO’s HOME ICE DRAFT SHOW [1] the draft was also on that evening.
Eklund is confirmed to have been in Vancouver for the draft by Darren Dreger of TSN in Canada, while approximately 1,500 people watched Dwayne and Grey Eye Glances perform in NJ. The Dwayne=Eklund fraud is a carefully contrived cover for Eklund’s true identity.
I emailed Darren Dreger and he said he never said that and that he has no idea if Eklund was in Vancouver the day of the draft. Also nowhere in Eklund’s blog entries does he state that he was in Vancouver. The possibilty remains open that Eklund is indeed Dwayne Keith Klessel because Eklund could have phoned his XM Radio interview and then gone onstage with Grey Eye Glances immediately afterward

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

--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”
