Your Deep Diggers set a new standard for laziness over the summer, and we wouldn’t have expected anything less.  But, at the risk of losing their “write-from-home” status, every one of them awakened this week to provide us riveting previews of the season ahead.  Yesterday was the News, followed today by the Free Press and Booth (Mlive).

the “masterminds” article is great reading.  Lots of talk about the league expanding to vegas and detroit moving east, etc.  Moving east sounds good to me ... not sure about vegas ...

A quick note Wings fans. 
A game day thread has been posted at the KK Forum.
At times last season we had some great conversation going on there and just wanted to make you aware of it.
The forum is moderated, good discussion between hockey fans is always encouraged.

Agree with ColdWar on the Vegas move.  Horrible, horrible idea and I live in one of the NHL’s ill-expanded cities.  Not saying there aren’t hockey fans in Vegas, but enough to sustain the team?  There are hockey fans in Nashville too...I’m also undecided on a pro sports team in a gambling city.  Not saying the games will be rigged or that well-dressed gentlemen will start showing up in the opposing team’s dressing rooms, but God, don’t we have better market choices somewhere?  Oh, Canada.

And reading the transcript of the Masterminds of Hockey was great.  Kind of wish they’d make it into a coffee table book, complete with pictures and a LOT more discussions.  I think their personalities really came through very well and I’d love to see more of that.

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 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
