Reminder: If you’re going to the Joe today, A2Y reader Voox is offering a lucrative prize to anyone who can get a sign on the air that mentions Pierre McGuire’s A2Y nickname.
In case you’d forgotten, he’s the Douche Canoe. The prize? Two tickets to a Leaf game next season, with the possibility of that game being against Detroit. Added bonus: you get that frigging sign on the air behind McGuire’s bald head and you’ll attain instant legend’s status here on A2Y.

Datsyuk “had” the puck come to him? I wonder… does he just whisper softly under his breath, “Here, puck! Here, puck!” like he calls his dog? Is it a Spock-like mind thing? Is it due to some forces of physics known only to Pronger? I think a diligent DD would set about to uncover this mystery.

RWBill- I’m watching the game today from a friend’s housewarming/patio cookout (38 degrees and rain in Chicago, perfect spring picnic weather). My contribution: A mini-keg of Two Hearted.

No sign this game, but I did notice NBC was pretty quick to zoom in on his cranium to eliminate the chance of a sign sneaking back there.
In the 3rd period, I noticed a security guard placed at the bottom of the aisle during one of McGuire’s post-commercial commentaries… he wasn’t there at other points in the game that I saw.
Maybe NBC/TSN are getting a little worried about this contest.
The contest remains open for the remainder of the 2008 playoffs, hopefully we can get it done during a Wings game.

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:

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."

"Just when it looks like we have bottomed out, the 19 hit a new low."

"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."

"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.' ”

NEWSFLASH NHL.COM: “WINGS LUCKY”
NHL.com to the Douche Canoe’s rescue, and Dan Rosen confirms what we knew, Datsyuk is lucky, the puck “just comes to him”. Never mind he has led the NHL in take-aways the last 2 years or appears out of a mass of skates with the puck glued to his stick time after time. NHL.com confirms the Douche Canoe is a genius, and the Wings win was fortunate.

“One game into the series, McGuire appears dead on. The reason Detroit won the series opener, 3-1, was because of a fortunate play by Datsyuk and Zetterberg that resulted in the game-winning goal.
Datsyuk and Zetterberg prevented Weber from clearing the puck. Datsyuk then had the puck come to him with Zetterberg dashing toward the slot. He made a cross-ice pass to Zetterberg, who one-timed the puck into the back of the net.”
Freaking hilarious “Datsyuk had the puck come to him” ! Written like an Avs apologist!! Break out the Bell’s Two Hearted Ale an hour before game time, these ignorant Bastards are pissing me off!
