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

...and there it is…

SCORE—HOMER!!!!
3 for 5 on the PP
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 07:47 PM ET
well, well, well...that layoff’s killing us. Killing us. Powerplay is unbelievable.

BAY...BEE!

Turco complaining about Homer standing in front of him. didn’t take long to get in Turco’s head, did it?

What was that about Dallas being absolutely lethal on special teams again? I forgot what the Ekspurts told me.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/08/08 at 07:48 PM ET
Looks like the PP isn’t suffering any ill effects from the layoff… sheesh.

Saw that Paul. Just like his psycho Uncle Eddie.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/08/08 at 07:49 PM ET
That was DAL best shift of the game
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Homer will be called on goalie interference at least four times this series. Little Gary’s not going to put up with that malarkey, I tell you.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/08/08 at 07:51 PM ET
great replay on the Holmstrom goal. to look at him, you wouldn’t peg him as a player having such precision...but in front of the goal where an inch one way or the other is the difference between a penalty or a goal, he’s by far the best in the league.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Kronner—laying the body—SWEET!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 07:52 PM ET
Powerplay is unbelievable.
Penalty kill hasn’t been too shabby either, from the summary I’ve seen of the first period.
Goal’s being credited to Homer. How do you say “Don’t forget about me” in Swedish?
For that matter, how do you say “Did you get the number of that train?” in Swedish? Finnish maybe?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/08/08 at 07:52 PM ET
Wonder if the Extra Large Douche, Don Cherry, watched that shift? Notice any Swede violence there Grapes?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/08/08 at 07:52 PM ET
and no call on that blatant holding on Filppula?! wow.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:53 PM ET
I petition to officially dub Kronwall “the Swedish Murder Machine”
Posted by moocat on 05/08/08 at 07:53 PM ET
Wow, the penguins are especially awful tonight.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 05/08/08 at 07:53 PM ET
We get a hooking call? After Fil is mugged?
..shhh...don’t tell anybody but refs make make up calls....shhh
Posted by Osrt on 05/08/08 at 07:54 PM ET
then a call on the Wings. Gary pays so much lip service to improving the game, and he can’t even get refs that can do a halfway decent job. unbelievable.
time to add a third ref?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:54 PM ET
Haha, what an awesome deke by Filppula. It looked like he just tried to flail his stick randomly and hope the defenceman would become confused. He needs to stop trying to play like Datsyuk and start playing like Samuelsson or Cleary.
Posted by Ryan from Toronto on 05/08/08 at 07:54 PM ET
Oh for *#$%@&’s sake, what’s up with ‘Flipping’ that penalty?
(Sorry, took me time to come up with that).
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/08/08 at 07:55 PM ET
Osgood’s looking all twitchy and focused and stuff.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/08/08 at 07:56 PM ET
Kronner is such a weak nickname. I hereby dub him…
Ball.
as in…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:56 PM ET
(Singing) “He’s our Little Douche Coup, you don’t know what we’ve got” Oh yeah we do… oh yeah we do.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 07:56 PM ET
Ozzie is looking like he does have more important things to do than trifle with the Stars
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 07:57 PM ET
See Paddy, THAT’S how you do a Statue of Liberty impersonation…
Maybe your kid will learn if he cuts down on the fives for fighting.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/08/08 at 07:58 PM ET
What an inane comment:
DAL has been okay 5 on 5—really, is that why they have given DET 5 PP??
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 07:59 PM ET
Okay, who was that trying to have buttseks with Datsyuk?
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 05/08/08 at 08:01 PM ET
man that was one hell of a save by ozzie. a double deflection.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/08/08 at 08:01 PM ET
Can we call Oz lumpy?
Please?
(He does look like a machine tonight.)
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 05/08/08 at 08:04 PM ET
Ah, the sound is cutting out intermittently on NASN...what a blessed relief.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/08/08 at 08:04 PM ET
you’ve saved that for a while haven’t you Paul?
That was awesome…
Posted by Osrt on 05/08/08 at 08:04 PM ET
FIL!
He has his sweet, sweet revenge…
First even-strength of the evening.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/08/08 at 08:05 PM ET
Kronner to Sammy to Fil --- SWEET
1 2
1 2 3 4

Man, great look from Kronwall. ten points for the healthy young man.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/08/08 at 08:05 PM ET
Swede to Swede to FINN???
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/08/08 at 08:06 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
