Update: “Sailor” should be capitalized. Baby steps Paul.
The sailor asked me to let you know he should be online around puck drop time.

I had a vision that Turco gets lit up for 5 G/A, and gets pulled!!!

It’s 8 bells! or 7:15, or something.

I’m afraid to switch over to any Versus produced show, but at least it’s not NBC.

Doc and Edzo on the call tonight—better than some other choices
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:13 PM ET
Jeff, consider this: Beninati and Eliot have the Pens-Flyers Final.
Now tell me, do you feel lucky?
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 05/08/08 at 06:14 PM ET
going to Vegas Steve-- going to Vegas

Note that unlike the last series, the commentators WILL NOT change. You have Doc and Eddie for the whole series.
In my opinion, while Doc deserves the accolades, I’m hoping Pat Foley can whip Eddie Olczyk to a more big-game-ready analyst next season.

By the way, that song on that Versus “Competition is Life” promo is “Welcome Home” by New York prog-rockers Coheed & Cambria if your looking for a download.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 05/08/08 at 06:20 PM ET
OSRT, that is the number my 15 y/o prgnisticator called as well.
I’m praying that Turco gets chased, so that is my darkhorse call.
I’d more than take your call, so long as Wings 3rd goal isn’t the E/N!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:21 PM ET
Bet Al swirls the octopus about 30 secs prior to opening faceoff!!!

And no DAL player even touches it—bad mojo for the opponent
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:25 PM ET
I hope Ozzie can keep them in the game till they find their legs...
Posted by w2j2 on 05/08/08 at 06:25 PM ET
No stress OSRT ---I really think DAL is going to be alot like COL—just too slow to keep up with the Wings.
UNLESS Turco stands completely on his head for the whole series—and he hasn’t ever done that.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:30 PM ET
Osrt, does that mean all the rocking back and forth I’ve been doing all day has been unofficial?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/08/08 at 06:37 PM ET

Wonder if Chief got shang-hai’d?
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:39 PM ET
I’m not stressing Jeff; the baby pacifier if my mouth is all the range amongst the kids these days.
Gabe: rocking only becomes official when Versus and Comcast conspire against me.
I’m not getting the game in HD!
Posted by Osrt on 05/08/08 at 06:40 PM ET
Nervous? Me? Nah… just because my kitty won’t come near me and the wife pleads for me to quit shouting at the TV… nervous? Me?
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 06:41 PM ET
Heya guys and gals… trying not to puke…
Go ‘Wings.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 05/08/08 at 06:41 PM ET
Wings looking just a little rusty!!! EGAD
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:44 PM ET
Howdy Jeff… hope you’re strapped in.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 06:45 PM ET
good on Homer pissing people off in front and not throwing jabs back.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 06:48 PM ET
Sammy on the back-check—cant believe I just typed that
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:50 PM ET
Great start boys.... a full 60 minutes.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 06:52 PM ET
why do all the linesmen play that “I’m gonna drop it! haha fooled you!” game? wtf?!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 06:54 PM ET
#2 line looking really freaking good again
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:55 PM ET
um, no you moron...that was not “it” - that was long after the penalty was called. how do these guys have jobs?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 06:56 PM ET
does anyone know where the game is streaming online? need help!
Posted by Alex from San Francisco on 05/08/08 at 06:57 PM ET
alex, I think someone posted a link earlier
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:58 PM ET
Great freaking kill there!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 06:59 PM ET
Well, Paul, at least it’s not the ultimate “dumb it down” commentary team of Thorne and Clement.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 05/08/08 at 06:59 PM ET
hmmm...Maltby in, McCarty out...wonder what Babcock’s reason is. McCarty was playing very well. maybe it’s just to get Maltby some game time to get his pace back.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:00 PM ET
I wanna see a goal by Hoodlum tonight.

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
