A slow Sunday. Kinda lazy. Perusing the sports pages and various hockey blogs. Thought this was unique from Pittsburgh last night.
Courtesy of Empty Netters, a unique costume…
Kinda weird. But then...look closer at some of the male patrons? Disturbing.
Subtle, eh? I don’t see Darren Garcia there, but something tells me he’s close by.

Again, as we said yesterday, climb off if you want. Seek another wagon. Those who stay on this one will be rewarded, as usual.
Shit, I know I shouldn’t, but I get the feeling this is directed at me. Hey, I’m still on the bandwagon-- if my liver and heart could survive the Dead Things period (heh...just for you Chief), then they can survive this. Maybe not the liver-- I didn’t start drinking THAT young. Still, I’m here, just busy. Put me in the Silent Majority section of the bandwagon for now. I’ll make it to liveblogs later once things let up and when ESPN America start showing Wings games live.
And you oldies don’t know how lucky you are to have caught games at the Old Red Barn. Born too soon, me.
So yeah. Still on the bandwagon, and unfortunately, still in the Hasek going full steam ahead.

Chief, you really need to watch It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which captured the fad of idiots doing this at literally every stadium imaginable.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey
So green boy is a Philly thing? That figures. Pittsburgh fans, like their bloggers, are unoriginal, lame and creepy, in a registered sex offender sort of way.

hahaha this excerpt is from SecondCityHockey in their recap of the hawks performance through one month:
-Tomas Kopecky doesn’t do anything. I mean at all.
when do we say “told ya so”

Crosby is a fag. Cheer for him at your peril.

Now you’ve gone and given all fags a bad name by lumping Rosby in with them.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Would anyone familiar with the paysite (i.e. the forbidden site; the one that causes Happy Smiles) be able to answer a couple questions?
I’m going to be out of town (oot) tomorrow for the start of the game but want to take my laptop so I can watch & LB. I’m guessing I can find an unsecured wireless modem to piggyback off of at my oot location but I’m not sure what impact this may have on my account. I know when you hit 3 IPs, you’re cancelled. Not good. So I want to make sure I can do what I plan to do without jeopardizing my account.
Is it a matter as simple as clicking on the “IP Exceptions” when I logon from the oot location and clicking “Add Exceptions”? (I’m assuming the IP I’m on at the moment will be automatically listed?)
And does this effect my home (original? / primary?) IP? (Do I need to do anything when I get back home for the end of the game and logon, such as “Update Exception”? Or just logon as normal, allow it to recognize my home IP and let the exception expire?)
Any help would be appreciated.
(Feel free to PM me if we want to keep this off the comments.)

I believe you create an exception each time you are not at the IP you signed up from. No need to create one when you are back home, the exceptions last 24 hours only.

Thanks, VooX. I’ll give it go.

I’ll give it a go.

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
"Like them or hate them, it's not a good idea to start a battle with "the 19" and the Chief. 'Nuff said."
--Astute reader at Dater's All Things Avs
"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
Hell yeah, with garlic butter brushed on the crust. Can’t beat it for five bucks.
