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.

I have three posts and the Wings have three goals.
Come on bitches.

Nice ovation for your team, Chicago.

JJ, you coprophiliac you.
Sorry, that was as friendly as I could muster after that goal.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/22/09 at 08:48 PM ET
So, what happens if we don’t end up getting bogus major penalties and one of our defencemen tossed in the first? 3-1 Wings perhaps?
Way to keep competition level, Gary.Ass. As if the salary cap wasn’t bad enough.
Posted by Zoogz on 05/22/09 at 08:48 PM ET
Big mo in the corner of the Big Red Machine. Get this in the 3rd, boys. Bury them, and then tell Bettman to suck it.
Posted by EFWolverine from Dearborn on 05/22/09 at 08:48 PM ET
It’s new game my friends!
The 3rd period belogs to the RED WINGS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That was fun.
Time for 20 a minute hockey game.....that’s how we roll.

Outstanding composure.
Beer me on that sentiment.
Cheers all round the Train.

Un real.
What an enormous shift in momentum. In the W.C.F.
Meltdown in CHITOWN.
Suck on that ‘Hawk fan.
Wings got a real chance to commence decapitation.

Somewhere in the bowels of the UC, Dangle just leaned over to Kronner and said; “I told ooo so.”

“What the Hawks never figured out, and what I know now, was that these men would never break, never lie down, never bend over for anybody. Anybody.”
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 05/22/09 at 08:49 PM ET
And the therapists descend on the Hawk room for the second intermission.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/22/09 at 08:49 PM ET
IF IF IF we win this, Kronner is no doubt suspended for Sunday.
One of the unmistakable truths of this evening.
Posted by The Hurricane on 05/22/09 at 08:49 PM ET
Oh my God
My 25 push ups whenever the Wings are down in a playoff game ritual worked!
Posted by Tyler from Arizona on 05/22/09 at 08:49 PM ET
There’s one *#$%@& person who needs to get the go-ahead goal, and you all know who he is.
Posted by Bella from puddle of her own vomit on 05/22/09 at 08:49 PM ET
I was actually waiting for the intermission to say that I had a good feeling with the way the game was progressing. We couldn’t get set up in the first with all the penalties, spend the early part of the second feeling out Chicago’s weaknesses, then made the adjustment and pounced.
The Blackhawks are going to come out tentative in the third. We have to stay patient and we’ll win this one by two goals.

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
