Every once in a while, at Game 2, a small but vocal band of Hawk fans made their presence felt. They were in one of those overhang deals, kind of a private box in the 202 section. They’d pick and choose their spots and yell it in unison.
“Detroit sucks.”
Idiots in the crowd got angry. They swore and pointed. A few drank some more and yelled more bad things at those people. The Hawk fans laughed and taunted the idiots.
But when Dan Cleary scored to give the Wings a 2-1 lead, something strange happened. Two entire sections, hundreds of people turned at once, peered up at the Hawk fan box and waved. All at once waving. It was awesome.
And I’ll tell you this, no matter how much you hate the Hawk fans...those guys handled it well. They laughed along with us and took it. And when Sammy pooped in a box to end it, those guys shook a few hands before they left. Pretty cool.
Tonite? It won’t even be close. Tonite? If you’re a Wing fan in Chicago you’re not safe and that’s just the way it is.
Because everyone knows what this game means. Wings win and this bitch is done. Over. Hawks? Not so much.
Half a dozen to a dozen.
It’s a Live Blog bitches.

This is no early storm, but we don’t have our legs early.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 07:19 PM ET
Osgood’s going to have to steal a period or three tonite.
Agreed. Clink.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/22/09 at 07:20 PM ET
Then again, a win tonight and we can stop stressing about Dats-- both winning without him (depth) and going 3-0 up would do wonders for the stress level...Need a Stress Leveller…
Hawks ice it, good early start.
I’m right there with ya....

Well the first few minutes were fine and then the Wings decided to stop trying to hang on to the puck…
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 05/22/09 at 07:21 PM ET
wow, they are. 29.8% to Detroit’s 25%. 17/57 vs 15/60.

3-3, 3 RBI’s.. can’t ask more of a 7 year old.
Metallica blasting on the way home and a beer in hand… Mojo… CHECK.
Side comment, little dude rode with the wife, no kid in the truck with the beer.

They could always put Sammy back out there.
4 minutes??? Sunuva. Well…
Posted by mrfluffy from Cincy on 05/22/09 at 07:22 PM ET
Wings (Hossa) need to shoot and not be cute all the time.
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/22/09 at 07:22 PM ET
Down to 2 for hopefully 4.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 07:22 PM ET
Hawks are the best PP in the playoffs? huh?
Truth Paul, though playing the 17th ranked PK in the playoffs hasn’t hurt at all.
Shiiiiiit. Blood. Four minute PK
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 07:22 PM ET
Double minor? That’s like...six beers. Shit.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/22/09 at 07:22 PM ET
D*mn a pk already...can’t take the stress...as if a 2 year old in a car with an exploding diaper wasn’t bad enough…
Posted by Bingo Bango Jessie on 05/22/09 at 07:23 PM ET
And I open my mouth to a 4 min PK.
Jeebsus.
VooX.... beer me.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/22/09 at 07:23 PM ET
4 minutes? Uckfay. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa. on 05/22/09 at 07:23 PM ET

This makes no sense. Ignore. I will be completely incoherent shortly.

‘Hawks look tight.
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/22/09 at 07:24 PM ET
You know, I noticed that Hoss has tunnel vision when he has the puck.

Time for a shorty
How ‘bout a shortie for HTT....
Where are the shorties this year, Gramps?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/22/09 at 07:24 PM ET
I’ll sacrifice a cat for a shorty
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/22/09 at 07:24 PM ET
Well, that was it. They could afford to be patient and wear us down.
Gonna be a long night…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 07:25 PM ET
Thats nice—
Well, at least the Wings have been here before.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/22/09 at 07:25 PM ET
At least that one came after the first two minutes expired. No doubt it was coming. Let’s get the legs under us, boys.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 07:25 PM ET
Damnit damnit son of a bitch....
Posted by creasemonkey from San Diego, CA on 05/22/09 at 07:25 PM ET
This has to be one of the worst penalty killing teams I’ve ever seen. What in god’s name happened to this unit?
Posted by EFWolverine from Dearborn on 05/22/09 at 07:25 PM ET
Here we go again. Hopefully the Wings can respond within couple of minutes by waking up. We had a good kill, but before that not so good.
Stress Train rolling.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 07:25 PM ET
Well we spotted then the first one. Now get composed and
PLAY OUR GAME.
Puck possesion and NO TURNOVERS!!!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/22/09 at 07:25 PM ET
F to the UCK bitches.

Posted by creasemonkey from San Diego, CA on 05/22/09 at 07:27 PM ET
Yeah. Gonna be a real long night with defensive lapses like this.
Throw the game now, why don’tcha?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 07:27 PM ET
How many timeouts do we get?
Can we have another if we use it up this early?
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 07:27 PM ET
guess that whole “first ten minutes” thing isn’t working out real well
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/22/09 at 07:27 PM ET
Umm....yeah, nice little kick pass there, Stewie.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/22/09 at 07:27 PM ET

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

That and the sound of Grapes yelling. Plus the noise his hellishly loud suits make.
Hurt or not, Hossa needs to be huge. Huger than he’s been so far.
