You’re damn right I switched to Seger. It’s not Night Moves.
Name it.
Then finish it. Please.

Turco played that in the corner! are the refs watching the game?!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/19/08 at 08:31 PM ET
Drake is possessed
Drawing penalties
scoring and assistsPure Determination
And he just drilled the french dude, so to speak.

just so you know a cricify is way worse than crucify

I hope everyone is wearing protection...we’re getting fellated by the VS Whores…
Poop, all out of dental dams

Mind Bullets!! A tenacious D reference, and a co** pushup rebuttal. Outfriggingstanding.

Not often that you see a player hook somebody that’s standing behind him. Kronwall must be talented.

this is getting ridiculous

I’ve succumbed to the wiles of Mich Ultras (in the slim line can!) ‘cause the woman is carb OCD.
Loving this, the vein in my forehead is no longer scaring said woman.
Go ‘Wings.

Fil gets the lose puck in the DAL zone on the DAL PP

First mention of the suddenly legendary Toby Peterson comes with 2:02 left in the second.

You wonder if the refs are getting pissed that Dallas isn’t doing anything with all the chances they’re giving them.
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 05/19/08 at 08:36 PM ET
But you might have to fool it into thinking you’re Canadian. Try “eh” and wearing flannel.
I’ve got a tuk (sic?) on.
Thanks for the feeds, the problem seems to be my internet.. damn silicon valley BS. I’ll just have to read your updates.

6 penalties on DET, and DET is +1
Pure. Determination.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/19/08 at 08:37 PM ET
Baroque, is “resoundly” a word? Maybe in Canadian? this is CBC after all.

I would have loved it if Lidstrom scored on that one. I would love a goal from him in this game.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/19/08 at 08:41 PM ET
“hollow type of sound hitting Turco” --awesome…
That’s how you know it hit him in the head.
I make macaroni artwork in my spare time, keeps up the childishness…
Posted by J.J. from kansas on 05/19/08 at 08:41 PM ET
Resignation, and sweet, sweet relief.
This can all end...just cry...mercy…
Drake being inverviewed by CBC and lookin’ like he went ten rounds with Jersey Joe Walcott...absolutely great.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/19/08 at 08:42 PM ET
Turco has a startling .822 save % this game
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/19/08 at 08:44 PM ET
Now Stevie being interviewed by CBC...just keeps gettin’ better. They’re talking about Team Canada, but still…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/19/08 at 08:45 PM ET
Here’s to the DFW, via Tom.
Well it’s hotter ‘n blazes and all the long faces
there’ll be no oasis for a dry local grazier
there’ll be no refreshment for a thirsty jackaroo

The Captain on CBC. He always sounds so nervous talking, and always so humble about everything.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/19/08 at 08:46 PM ET
Rambo ad. My wife: “I’m not saying anything.”

Heh...I just saw Jiri Slegr’s name on the Cup
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/19/08 at 08:48 PM ET
Here’s another to Texas, via another Tom (Eliot):
A heap of broken images, where the sun beats,
And the dead tree gives no shelter, the cricket no relief,
And the dry stone no sound of water.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/19/08 at 08:49 PM ET
Why does it seem like it’s been waaay longer than 6 years since the Wings last won a cup?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/19/08 at 08:49 PM ET
Stevie Y. says on CBC that he doesn’t think the ‘97 and ‘98 teams had two guys up front as skilled as Datsyuk and Zetterberg. Woah.
Posted by Ryan from Toronto on 05/19/08 at 08:50 PM ET
I just saw Jiri Slegr’s name on the Cup
It gets worse, Matt. If we win the Cup this year, Andreas Lilja will have his name on the Cup! And Mikael Samuelsson! How WEIRD is that?!?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/19/08 at 08:51 PM ET
OK. I am finally here. I’ve been watching but not online. But now: kid’s in bed and I am finally caught up on posts. You b*st*rds have been TALKATIVE tonight. And with good reason. This is some game! I feel vindicated. VS blows but its what I have. I LOVE that they were all blowing Dallas before the game and now they are having to retract. Its faaaabulous! I think the Turckey has some holes in him tonight. And the boys found them. How lovely!

Yzerman interview on CBC...sooo great…
he looks as intense as ever...and still fit…
“Would you like to be the GM for Team Canada at the 2010 Olymics?”
“Yes, certainly, but I just have to make sure that my role with the Detroit Red Wings, whatever that may be in the next few years, will allow me to do so.”
--> Paraphrased, but as close as possible to original statements…
Posted by Osrt on 05/19/08 at 08:52 PM ET
Ryan, I’d have to agree. But skill isn’t everything…
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/19/08 at 08:52 PM ET
Congrats to the A2Y 19. Paranoia in playoff mode with no one mentioning our impending clash with the Steel City.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/19/08 at 08:53 PM ET
Stars need 5 to win. They will have to pinch the D the rest of the game. Lots of odd-man rushes for DET this period.
As long as DET doesn’t continue the parade to the sin bin, no problem
Mac only sees the ice at the handshake.
DAL 4 shots on 6 PP—that is insane.
I bet DAL only has 2 0r 3 scoring chances in the game. Suffocating “D” for DET this game.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/19/08 at 08:53 PM ET
The Captain is always so very modest. It will be interesting to see how he does in management and how Brett Hull does. Hully obviously wouldn’t know modesty if it crapped on his shoe.
Nothing wrong with that - at all. It will just be interesting to see how they both do over their management careers.
Posted by Dave on 05/19/08 at 08:53 PM ET
I think Stevie Y would make one hell of a coach.
Posted by WingBitch from Virginia on 05/19/08 at 08:54 PM ET
he doesn’t think the ‘97 and ‘98 teams had two guys up front as skilled as Datsyuk and Zetterberg.
Well, I’m not sure he’s wrong. 2002, no contest. But the back-to-back teams, aside from Stevie...and Feds...and The Professor...hang on a second. That’s one hell of a compliment. Yeah, I’m with you, Ryan. Whoa.

Great to watch the CBC coverage. Cherry isn’t pro-Detroit so we get Kelly Hrudey instead :(

Andrew doesn’t a player have to play a game in the SCF to get their name on the cup?

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
