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.

Anybody know what the breakdown was on the penalties at the end of the game?

wtf is wrong with Versus’ math?
they show Osgood as 2-0, with a .50 GAA and .979 save percentage.
except he didn’t let in a goal in those two games. so how is it not .00 GAA and 1.00 save percentage?

Well, night all. See you Wednesday for liveblogging the Melons (Mellons). I look forward to several Pens being suspended, which of course means none of them will be.
Sleep the sleep of the innocent and guiltless, guys.

Fisch for #2?
Yeah, I was thinking Fetisov as a little throwback...but Fisch makes good sense, too.

Therrien is laying into Detroit’s “dirty” play during his press conference

Can’t argue with the 3 stars as picked by the Highlander

Buzz, is that on CBC? Because VS isn’t showing it.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/26/08 at 10:10 PM ET
Therrien said that Osgood “dives all the time”, and also that we “get away with a lot of obstruction that doesn’t get called”.

Those of us watching VS wouldn’t know...because it’s more postulating by the guys at the desk. No reason to actually cover anything that’s happening at the rink besides the former (i.e., fired) coaches in 227C....

Actually VS blacked out for the last 5 minutes for me. Thankfully after the game ended though.

Did Michel comment on the multiple head-shots to Franzenstein? Just wondering.
Posted by Most Hated Man in Colorado on 05/26/08 at 10:21 PM ET
Nope, he mainly just commented on how they “aren’t getting the calls” and what not. It was extremely biased and seemed rather, well....unprofessional. He was clearly VERY upset and frustrated.
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 05/26/08 at 10:24 PM ET
Lately, I’m starting to agree on the Ozy dive thing. Sitll not as bad as Dom, but c’mon, you’ve got more class than that.
Thanks for the Game chatter folks. Catch ya next time.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/26/08 at 10:25 PM ET
Yeah, he definitely embellishes. But, honestly, it rarely pays off for Osgood. Plus, they have a fantastic diver in Crosby.
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 05/26/08 at 10:28 PM ET
Two games down, two more to go. My mother, who never says the words “Shut up.” actually yelled that at Therrien when he was whining to the refs with 7 minutes to go in the third period. If he is going to whine about the officiating in the press conference, look for the calls to be a lot different in Pittsburgh on Wednesday. I really did not like how Pitt was going after Franzen’s head. I was thinking before the series that I didn’t really have the hate on for the Pens. Well, now I have some big hate. Ryan Malone is a tool.

HAHAHAHA! Therrien talking about dirty play? The SAME Therrien who was fined by the NHL for threatening to send in the goons in the Boston series in 2002? The same punk bitch Therrien who can’t coach and was run out of Montreal for being a punk bitch who can’t coach? Please. What a tool. It’s quite obvious that Punk Bitch sent his boys out there to purposefully target Franzen’s head. How much more blatant can it be? It’s about phucking time the zebra;s started to call the runs on Osgood too. Granted he probably made it seem worse than it was but goddamn!

Those were his “player of the week” numbers, which included the last Dallas game.

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

Cherry is pissed that no one went after Roberts. I, gasp, agree completely!
I’m sorry, but I’m also annoyed with Ozzie ‘embellishing’ things. I leave it at that.
