Shane, Avs Talk
Wings fans, feel free to poke fun at the team we cheer for - it’s what you do in sports - but never question the loyalty of our true fan base.
Garcia had long hair and makeup and was wearing an Avalanche jersey, according to authorities.

But the Dive are so confident after Game 1. They proved they can play with the Wings. It was a moral victory. They’re being beaten at every phase, in every zone.

Homer’s good, according to Uncle Mike. I’ll believe it when I see him on the ice.

Draper showing why he is a Selke winner

The Wings need to keep this up for the rest of the game.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/26/08 at 02:44 PM ET
So holding the stick in front of the net is legal now?

Wings gotta be 2 to 1 in the offensive zone.
Wonder if Al tilted the ice before the game 
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/26/08 at 02:45 PM ET
Exactly Matt. This kind of pressure and intensity.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/26/08 at 02:45 PM ET
DAMMIT MATT!!! go kill a freaking cat or two
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/26/08 at 02:46 PM ET
Shots are 2 - 1, chances are 2 - 1, offensive zone is 2 - 1,
hmmm very nice

“Ed, don’t you think that even though the Avalance are losing, they’re the better players, as well as prettier and better in bed?”

Chief, your Dive blog-buddy at http://www.milehighhockey.com has a serious superstition about mentioning the Dive’s goalie name/number/nickname at all during the GDT.
He especially hates when peopIe comment that a good save was made or Theordore is playing good. I suggest we dutifully start posting some encouraging comments on Theordore just to mess his mojo.

got away with some sketchy neutral zone play.

Done.

Keep your eye on Foote when Filppula is on the ice from now on…
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/26/08 at 02:53 PM ET
Foote turned into that. Val isn’t that kind of player.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/26/08 at 02:53 PM ET
Awww. What a shame. Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy. Take your medicine Foote.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/26/08 at 02:54 PM ET
Foote turned into that. Val isn’t that kind of player
players still should have the presence of mind to pull back on the check when that happens. should have been a penalty. there was one the Avs committed last game that was let go, so now it’s even?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/26/08 at 02:55 PM ET
Jose looking awfully good in the 1st period, as opposed to last game 
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/26/08 at 02:56 PM ET
I think he did pull back as much as he could. I would not have cried foul if the refs had given him a penalty though.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/26/08 at 02:57 PM ET
Man, that was a really depressing Edzo story, getting traded while his wife is in labor.
I’m pretty sure Doc Emrick has a better command of this language, and probably any other language, than anyone here will ever, to the posters way back.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/26/08 at 02:57 PM ET
and by typing “anyone here will ever”, I prove my own theory!
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/26/08 at 02:58 PM ET
I think the 2nd period of this game will tell quite a bit about where this series is headed.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/26/08 at 03:00 PM ET
I wish nothing but the best to the Colorado Avalanche this playoff season, and good health and better play to their award-winning goaltender, Jose Theodore.
Should have been a penalty, but fortunately no injury - Foote is a pretty big guy. Sometimes those get missed if the official turns the wrong way to avoid a hit himself.
Nice start, but Detroit had a nice start in the last game as well.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 04/26/08 at 03:00 PM ET
Steve, not sure what the hell you were trying to type or say there, but I’d say a few here have a command of the language that could rival your hero doc’s.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/26/08 at 03:01 PM ET
Hopefully, nobody will remind the Dive in the locker room that points are not awarded to which team spends the most time behind the opposing team’s net fighting for the puck. Good job locking that down by the Wings this period.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/26/08 at 03:01 PM ET
Could they command it while having to fit everything they’re saying in between 3 blowhard failed coaches?
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/26/08 at 03:02 PM ET
Steve, don’t be ridiculous. I haven’t labored under a double major for four years in college to have my language skills unfavorably compared to a sports announcer, regardless of his level of experience.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/26/08 at 03:03 PM ET
Jesus, that clip reminded me how awful Gary Thorne was.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/26/08 at 03:03 PM ET
Goodness Baroque— not ever known you to be the glass is half-empty type!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/26/08 at 03:04 PM ET
Alright Matt, it was a stupid point to get on, but I bet your English would worsen spending week after week with Milbury, Edzo and DC, eh!
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 04/26/08 at 03:05 PM ET
I bet your English would worsen spending week after week with Milbury, Edzo and DC, eh!
Now that’s a good point. Agreed.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/26/08 at 03:05 PM ET
If the comment total after one is tripled, it’s 423. Beating the world record by 1.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/26/08 at 03:06 PM ET
your English, your vision, your sanity…
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/26/08 at 03:06 PM ET
Matt, you ain’t no Doc Emrick, ain’t no one else liked him neither.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/26/08 at 03:08 PM ET
I understand it’s the playoffs but I really have no idea what interference is anymore.
Posted by moocat on 04/26/08 at 03:08 PM ET
True. Those three won’t be winning awards for the use of the English language any time soon.
By the way, if any of you are looking for a web hosting company, I can’t say I recommend site5. OtW has been down for about 5 hours today and I haven’t been able to get a word of explanation out of the “24/7” customer support folks.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/26/08 at 03:08 PM ET
Anybody else see Draper in that Ridgeline commercial?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/26/08 at 03:08 PM ET
Good thing the 423 don’t have to be well thought out. Well we’ve seen this domination of one period before, it’s only one shot, and one of those by the Avs is going to get in sooner or later.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/26/08 at 03:09 PM ET
I see Draper every time I watch Eddie Izzard live, but that’s beside the point.

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”
