I guess it goes without saying that should the Wings take a 2-0 lead? You can start thinking about the lame excuses you’ll use to get out of work for the parade. Pens win? Little Gary rejoices and we’ve got ourselves a series.
Reminder: Predict the game’s first scorer in the comments. First one to get it right gets a program from Game 1.
Name the song without looking it up and you get...well, nothing really. But you’ll be cool.

Stuart, short handed
nice call. too bad it wasn’t shorthanded. Chief is going to have to review your win and see if it should be waved off.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:27 PM ET
Okay, who said STUART?!?
Magnificent!

FANFREAKINTASTIC! Let the announcers start on the “first goal of the game” statistics.

Stuart, short handed

Are you picking Maltby Jenn?
lol.... well, not NOW! 
But I think I’ll still rip on Malts a little and see if it works to help him get on in.

More secondary scoring? Hey guys, I think the Wings may be deep!
Posted by Hap from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/26/08 at 07:29 PM ET
His own player’s stick got him.

I’m sure the fans sitting behind that jackass are just loving the back of that penguin...instead of actually being able to see the game.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/26/08 at 07:31 PM ET
Mule on a line with Flip and Sammy
Uncle Mike shaking things up too!!!
Freaking Wings are buzzing now!!!

Hal Gill takes out Scuderi’s face… I knew he was a pylon when he played on the Leafs… “All Skill” my ass.

ARGH… Buckets, too high.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:33 PM ET
in the net...pause....not waived off
Heh, Nate, that was cool.
And I thought Flip got a free pass from a double-minor there-- which would have made up for the missed calls for us, but on video review CBC saw Scuderi get hi-sticked...by Hal Gill.
What awesome players.
These close-in shots need to go to the net...not the glass. Lads?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 07:33 PM ET
Aww c’mon Cleary...you gotta hit the net. 10 minutes in and still no shot from the Pens?
Is there another way to win a hockey game besides putting the puck in the net that we just don’t know about?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/26/08 at 07:33 PM ET
Not only is that Gill’s stick that smacked Scuderi - CBC showed the replay of the goal, and Stuart’s shot went off Gill in front of the net as well.
So far the big guy is not having a stellar game - but deflections even go in off of Lidstrom, so it isn’t his fault.
At least I picked a defensman!

My wife: “Were you standing up most of the game?”
Me: “Mostly.”
My wife: “So the people behind you couldn’t see?”
Me: “Umm. There was nobody behind us.”
My wife: “How much did you pay?”
That’s how it starts.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/26/08 at 07:34 PM ET
8:30 left in the first, no shot by the pens.... and Zatta scores!!
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/26/08 at 07:36 PM ET
Hold breath.... good goal for Homer???
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:36 PM ET
Yeah, but a block by Lilja, Chief. Six of one, half dozen of the other...?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/26/08 at 07:36 PM ET
I think it was Homer!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/26/08 at 07:36 PM ET
Oh. Lookout. Was that Homer? Did it count? Did it?
Homer. Z. Homer. Z. Who cares.
Eat it Gary. Ass.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/26/08 at 07:36 PM ET
Still no shots from the Pens. That’s how you play shutdown, puck-possession hockey.
And Zetterberg gets his! GOOOOOOOOAL!!!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 07:37 PM ET
You’re preachin’ to the choir Chief.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/26/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Fleury. Rattled, baby.
Homer gets that. And actually gets it.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/26/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Freaking A… that better go to Homer!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Stay strong here. No momentum.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/26/08 at 07:37 PM ET
can you say ‘we need a close game for the networks’....
knew you could.

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
