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.

Way too many missed nets...whoo, great hit by Drake.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/26/08 at 08:31 PM ET
Lilja, it was mostly pushing behind the net. MAF should’ve gotten a butt-end as he sticked Homer in the gut coming around the net.

Not old or drunk. I think it’s the HepC.

Drake PLASTERS Orpik!!
I loved the quote, “Drake tries to put Orpik into the penalty box without opening the door”.

I wish CBC was in HD; that would be perfect.
You could see every girlish tear of Gary’s Baby Boy as it falls to the ice in absolute clarity.
‘Course, then you’d have to put up with an HD shot of that peach fuzz he calls a playoff beard. *shudder*
Drake on Orpik. Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy. And once again we’re reminded of why we signed Drake. AND he’s making the League minimum. Absolute steal considering the postseason he’s bringing us.

CBC HD rules!! Skate to the throat boys!

How does Drapes avoid penalties? He’s always hanging on the player he’s covering?
Not that I’m complaining, just amazed.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/26/08 at 08:34 PM ET
I’d have given twenty bucks to see Lindsay drill Little Gary right there.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/26/08 at 08:34 PM ET
Lilja(!) does it again… way to save us Ozzie!
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/26/08 at 08:35 PM ET
Cripes Lilja! What the F?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 08:36 PM ET
JESUS LILJA!!
SIT. THE. F__K. DOWN.
Posted by Jayo from Toronto on 05/26/08 at 08:36 PM ET
correction… post saved us!

Seriously, Gabe? I didn’t know that. Gosh. Now I feel kinda bad.
Must keep up with celebrity news. I’ll switch over to E! after the game. Er, I might switch over to E from my tea. Er…
Lil’ Gary sullies Mr. Hockey by his mere presence. What I wouldn’t give to see that eighty year-old man give Bettman one of his famous flying elbows right about now…
And what a miss-- twice-- by Pittsburgh. Heh.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 08:36 PM ET
well...goodness Lilja reminds us why he should never be allowed on the ice..
Posted by Osrt on 05/26/08 at 08:36 PM ET
This image(also stolen, to big for the post) summarizes Lilja.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/26/08 at 08:36 PM ET
*snicker* No Andrew, I’m spreading rumors. But he was with the Hepatitis poster child...so I imagine there’s a better than average chance.

Where was Terrible Ted? CBC showed Lil’ Gary with Howe.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 08:39 PM ET
I love how Draper’s beard is a completely different color than his hair.
Posted by C3091 on 05/26/08 at 08:39 PM ET
Oh, that CBC shot of Crosby on the bench was priceless.
Looked like a lost little boy pleading for it all to be over with.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/26/08 at 08:40 PM ET
Pens feathers getting a bit ruffled.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/26/08 at 08:40 PM ET
Wings really need to pot one on the PP, switch up the mojo!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/26/08 at 08:40 PM ET
Where was Terrible Ted?
Looked like he was in the Illitch family suite.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 08:41 PM ET

Yeah, but you’d risk hepatitis to hit that too...admit it.
Fleury coulda had that toss bite him in the butt. He’s lucky.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 08:42 PM ET
Alright guys, outta here. RB, check your inbox. Go Wings!
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/26/08 at 08:42 PM ET
Aww, why did it have to be Drapes with that chance?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/26/08 at 08:42 PM ET
Aww, why did it have to be Drapes with that chance?
Might have had a better chance if it banked at the net off his face.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 08:44 PM ET
SHOTS ON GOAL
1st 2nd T
PIT 6 6 12
DET 12 10 22
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/26/08 at 08:45 PM ET
our PP has been pretty ordinary, if not bad tonight. We really need to get some better chances when we have the man advantage.
Posted by A II R from Los Angeles, CA on 05/26/08 at 08:47 PM ET
Whoa-- Sykora’s only logged 8:40 of ice time tonight. That’s some tough minutes from your SECOND LINE!
Way to try to win, Therrien.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 08:48 PM ET
Oh, okay-- Therrien’s mixing up lines mid-game, hence Sykora’s low minutes. That’s not desperation or anything, certainly not.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 08:51 PM ET
CBC glowing about Z and Dats ("the best player in this game")....
why am I watching CBC? Because VS is breaking up and now has no sound! I had Comcast come out and check this out before, got it all fixed, and now here it is again. I HATE COMCAST, VS…
Posted by Osrt on 05/26/08 at 08:54 PM ET
Red Wings are turning this game boring.
It’s beautiful!
Posted by J.J. from kansas on 05/26/08 at 08:54 PM ET
Huh. Osrt, I’ve got CBC with the sound cutting out-- but with my dish fixed, it’s NASN that has the problem-- they’ve done this before. Another snotogram on its way to them tomorrow.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/26/08 at 08:57 PM ET
why am I watching CBC?
I’d rather watch CBC, but we don’t get that strange furriner teevee here in Kentucky.
So I’m stuck with the losers on VS.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 08:58 PM ET
PIT has 12 shots, 6 from the PP!!
Freaking Awesome “D” by the Wings.
Stay out of the Box in the 3rd!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/26/08 at 08:58 PM ET
CBC usually breaks up for us. Holding up well so far though. And, yeah, Comcast. Stupid internet keeps crapping out too. I’ll never call their 1-800 number again, though, unless it’s to cancel. That’ll be a good day.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/26/08 at 08:58 PM ET
Hold me...hold me...never let me go…
Take some more stupid calls, Pens.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/26/08 at 09:02 PM ET
Please pot on this PP, just to remove even more tension!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/26/08 at 09:02 PM ET
Ok seriously, the Wings need to it step up on the PP.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 09:02 PM ET
And is it just me or Sammy disappeared tonight?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 09:03 PM ET
Yep, PP looking lazy still. Dunno whats going on or how the heck that’s the weak part of the Wings game tonite.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/26/08 at 09:03 PM ET
I do think the Pens have really stepped it up on the PK, though

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

Can someone with CBC summarize what happened with Holmstrom/Orpik behind the net?
Versus, true to themselves are not showing.
