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.

Why would any self-respecting Wings fan give an iota what a Vagalanche blogger does or does not do? Tinkleflower fans aren’t worthy of your attention, let alone your angst when they act like, well, tinkleflowers.
F-them.

Older Than Chelios,
I have seen Negreanu at Griffins games, he sits in the upper armchair seats behind the goalie. We wondered why he was there and now we know.... Don’t be too hard on RWBill, he owns an “M” magnet ..... go Spartans!!

So did I miss anything?
Schnell bitches, Schnell!! Or, does anyone know what “skeet” means?
Or sorry Baroque; I know I’m disrespectful to ‘dem Hoes but I’m working on it.
That was a great effort by the Wings and everyone looked fairly solid, including ––gasp––Sammy and Hudler. You could see Babs has gained turst in Hudler, who made a beautiful pick pocket defensive play.
Chelios gave the puck up several times but he’s expecting a winger to be where he tosses it; gotta take a look though. He looked like he was hurrying unnecessarily, but he was a monster on the 5-3 kill.
Franzen: He may be one of the best power forwards in the NHL today. His second goal was just ridiculous. The first borrowed a page from Cleary and Z (good pass too Sammy), and the third was very Homer. The second goal though was all him.
Ozzie: Awesome! I wish so badly he go the shutout. He could just take out his athletic cup and put on Canoe’s face like a mask; “breathe it in M&#herFu;$r;...save you the time of kissing my ass.”
Dats: He didn’t play as well with the puck today, but I think he’s determined to make himself a presence, hence the hitting. I think he is banged up and may have realized that he won’t be able to pull moves too easily–––Georgums thinks he hurt his wrist after numerous Nashville slashes–––so he’s going to make room and trouble in other ways. You go boy!
Oh, by the way, you’re a genius Chief! I remembered and wrote my favorite Dandenault memory––scoring his first NHL goal against Roy in a game that ended Roy’s Montreal career––but didn’t realize that you were making a secret comment on JoeSay. Brilliant. And it worked!! 1st playoff hat trick for Franzen!
Also, I think Franzen got that hat from the hat trick bin… represent the $D$

McLeod shouldn’t have touched the octopus; the curse is upon him now! Currrrrrrssssse.

Awesomeness Paul!
And one more amazing piece of information, courtesy of the CBC: (http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/hnicplayoff/2008/04/franzen_comes_through_for_detr.html)
Despite getting pulled for the second straight game, and having allowed eight goals on 36 shots so far in the series, Jose Theodore is likely to be the starter for Game 3, Quenneville indicated strongly.
“He’s the guy who got us here,” Quenneville said.
Yes, he’s part of the reason you’re down 2-0; time to be, you know, a coach.

Great, solid game by the Wings. It’s been a cold, snowy, and windy day here in the UP but watching Detroit play a full 60 minutes and dominate made me feel all warm and fuzzy.
Franzen’s just freakin’ awesome.
I don’t know if MacLeod could be tossed for an action he took before the game. But if “matter” flies off an octopus when it’s twirled about one’s head, it must certainly also fly off when said octopus is shaken and then thrown. So it seems to me that the $10,000 fine is in order. Funny, though that we didn’t see any octopus-matter-cleaning staff out there afterward. Thanks, Gary. Ass.
I don’t have a daughter, but if I did nothing could make me more proud than to see her aspire to become an Edge Gel Girl. Christ. I’m stupider for having seen that commercial, too.

F-them indeed. Although I kind of like the TURTLE nickname to describe the Dive media/bloggers. They are:
1) Slow and stupid;
2) They only stick their necks out to say something stupid (and then hide before their head gets chopped off);
3) Once you put up a fight and get them on their backs, just like lady-boy Garcia, they are f**cked.

Avs have a clear advantage in scoring depth, overall depth and goaltending. Wings’ top two defensemen are better than the Avs’ top two, but the Avs are deeper on defense. Wings have a huge advantage behind the bench.
It’s not a matter of loving the Avs. It’s just reality. We’re loaded with talent, we just can’t seem to ever get anything done with it because of our coaching and lack of effort by the players.
This comment was made over at MHH when the Wings were up 4-0.

Thank, eddie. I hope the Avs players believe this, too, because if they do, they’re toast.

Well, then, couldn’t they do porn… or sell drugs… anything more respectable???

You know, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about this series, and I think I’ve figured out why the Wings are losing 2-0. It’s because of their soft Europeans. I haven’t actually watched the games (or any Wings games all season), but I’m confident that Stuart and Rafalski have been the only two bright spots among the Wings top ten players.
I really hope Forsberg comes in for the next few games, because the Wings really need some soft European players on the Avs to, you know, balance things out. Right now, the series is just so one sided that it’s really a little embarassing.

That quote from MHH is disturbing; it’s so delusional that one loses faith in Democracy all together. Effin unwashed masses…
couldn’t they do porn
Damn...I knew something was familiar. I will investigate further and let you know my findings, published like all A2Y reports as a invisible excel sheet.

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
Head to Hockeytown
Blogs the Chief Likes
Well you know Baroque, I think so too.
I checked out the site after praise from Chief, and reading some decent blog posts… and his claim to come and have fun with us over here made me want to have some fun back.
