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.

HARD, but not DIRTY.
That was like Vladdie. Really, what is the issue?
Seriously, not being a total Wings homer here......

I swear they just said #55, 5 minutes and a game misconduct.
Posted by DetroitHockey on 05/22/09 at 07:38 PM ET
Holland is pissed. Uncle Mike is pissed. Yzerman is pissed. I am pissed.

That was a clean hit. Even *#$%@& Olczyk says so.
Posted by Bella from puddle of her own vomit on 05/22/09 at 07:38 PM ET
BS. This game has been handed right to the ‘Hawks. 5 minutes on the PP? How about that bullshit hit for Buffass?
Posted by mrfluffy from Cincy on 05/22/09 at 07:38 PM ET
I’m done with this, I’ll record the rest of the game, but I’m not watching this bullshit. *#$%@& Gary and his cronies. *#$%@& EM ALL!!!

...FIVE MINUTE MAJOR? WHAT THE *#$%@&???
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/22/09 at 07:39 PM ET
Even Edsel just said its a clean hit.
What the *#$%@&
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Sunny SoCal on 05/22/09 at 07:39 PM ET
Interference, when the puck is at his feet. LMFAO.
Posted by EFWolverine from Dearborn on 05/22/09 at 07:39 PM ET
What a friggin joke, Kronner ejected and a 5 min major
What a bunch of friggin BS
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/22/09 at 07:39 PM ET
He gets suspended and this league is a totalFUCKINGjoke.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 05/22/09 at 07:39 PM ET
Hank stoned on the shorthanded breakaway.
Gonna be a long night…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 07:39 PM ET
They THREW HIM OUT OF THE GAME?!?!?!
Posted by Deuce from Brooklyn on 05/22/09 at 07:39 PM ET
Injuries and officiating. *#$%@& me.
Posted by Bella from puddle of her own vomit on 05/22/09 at 07:40 PM ET
since Versus doesn’t think it’s important to explain what’s going on in the game...is it that Hudler had to go in the box to serve the five minutes while Kronwall serves the misconduct?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 07:41 PM ET
This is the Madden NFL “No Frigging Way” game, isn’t it?
Posted by Zoogz on 05/22/09 at 07:41 PM ET
Friggin Versteeg misses a wide open net == d’oh
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/22/09 at 07:41 PM ET
So...essentially Kronner will never be able to hit again without getting bent over by the zebras.
Posted by mrfluffy from Cincy on 05/22/09 at 07:41 PM ET
Nasty, nasty hit..but seriously, an interference call? Seriously? I can see a charge but come on..Didn’t see if he left his feet..
Posted by UMFan from Colorado on 05/22/09 at 07:41 PM ET
Wings look pissed off.
Posted by Bella from puddle of her own vomit on 05/22/09 at 07:41 PM ET
First thought? “Shit...he’s really *#$%@& hurt.”
Second thought? “Jesus...thank god he’s conscious and moving.”
Third thought? “BULLSHIT league that calls penalties because the guy is as fragile as my 2 year old daughter.”
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/22/09 at 07:41 PM ET
how was Kronwall’s check not clean? the Hawk was bent over, it was a shoulder check.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 07:41 PM ET
NHL officiating has reached a new low. By their logic, attempted murder carries no penalty, and manslaughter gets death. It’s about the result, not the action.
Posted by Ian! from Somerville, MA on 05/22/09 at 07:42 PM ET
Well, this game went south in a hurry...but with calls like that, why even bother to show up?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 07:42 PM ET
Maltby and Draper on the penalty kill. feels like old times. I love it.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 07:43 PM ET
Win this for Pav...win it for Kronner. Spite the fuggin’ league.
Posted by mrfluffy from Cincy on 05/22/09 at 07:43 PM ET
Complete “results” call, even though he got concussed by the ice that he hit because he had no situational awareness. And agree that Kronwall will be suspended for that, despite “automatic” suspensions getting waved.
Sure thought Z got hooked on the breakaway, too.
Posted by Stevis on 05/22/09 at 07:43 PM ET
Mickey Redmond’s probably having an aneurysm right now. What a horseshit call.
Posted by Bella from puddle of her own vomit on 05/22/09 at 07:44 PM ET
wow. Versus announcer is actually calling it clean.
I’m stunned.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 07:44 PM ET
EDZO == I dont see a penalty on the Kronwall hit
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/22/09 at 07:44 PM ET
wow the league won’t allow Wings to play hockey . . .. how else could the poultry win?
this is crap, period
Posted by bobbo on 05/22/09 at 07:44 PM ET
Even Edzo the Homer says it wasn’t penalty. Oh...and look at this.
Posted by mrfluffy from Cincy on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
Thank you, CBC, for showing that the Blackhawk defenceman stuck his stick between Zetterberg’s legs to trip him into the boards.
And the Hawks get another PP. What’s that, #86?
Posted by Zoogz on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
ANOTHER FREEAKING PENALTY WTF!!!
Posted by CaptainDennisPolonich from Sunny SoCal on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
The fuching zebras are absolutely killing us
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
Why do we watch this league again?
Posted by Bella from puddle of her own vomit on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
Another penalty called. Fu¢k me I am angry. A friend was coming by to watch the game, I just texted him and told him don’t bother as I am going ballistic right now and am not fun to be around.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
apparently the league can’t stand the idea of Detroit going up 3-0 in the series.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
And another one?
I’m not even blaming the refs here. We cannot play this game like this.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
WOW
Another phuggin penalty.
Just robbery.
Posted by Deuce from Brooklyn on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
Well, sure there’s another penalty. The Hawks couldn’t score in 5 minutes, so they need more time. Poor little Toewy-wavey.
Posted by Stevis on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
Don’t even talk suspensions-- that’d show me it’s an absolute joke.
Of course, right back to the PK after we just kill off the five minutes. Yeah, it’s an absolute joke. Quenneville must give great head.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 07:45 PM ET
A replay and...you know what guys? Win or lose...that was the check of the playoffs. I heart Kronner.

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

Agreed?
