Update below: there is a poll at the bottom of this post, and the results are shocking.
This is about a week old. You may have seen it. I had not. It made me happy and hopefully it has the same effect on you.
Sobbing Dive apologist Adrian Dater has a blog. Nine days ago he used that blog to beg the 7 Dive fans to please, please, please try and not be so frigging stupid.
A lot of Avalanche fans lost their hats for nothing the other night.
When Ryan Smyth scored in the shootout, hats rained onto the Pepsi Center ice, but they shouldn’t have.C’mon now, Avs fans - you knew that goals scored in a shootout don’t count toward a player’s official overall goal stats. Right?
The title of that post? “C’mon Avs Fans...You’re Better Than That.”
Ummm...Adrian? No they’re not.
And, yeah...even though I’m late on this one, I had to do it. It’s in the A2Y charter. So, if there are Dive bloggers out there who think I’m being unnecessarily harsh or, as I’ve been called by a few of them on occasion, “mean”, I sincerely apologize. There are times I do consider letting up on the HDID. But then....there’s this. I guess this picture makes me feel all “snarky”.
My opinion? That picture alone warrants abuse. But, I’m a democratic guy. You know that. So, I’ll leave it up to you, the A2Y die hards to determine the direction we’ll take.
Before you vote, though, consider the effect your selection has on the average Dive fan...seen here

From the article: When told that he was in trouble, Clark said, “Why, because I killed it out of season? Big deal. It’s a f****** duck,” according to the criminal complaint.
Outstanding.

Could I split my vote?
Take it easy for the first half of the season or so, then blast them once they nail down a playoff spot. They look pretty good this year, and I doubt they will miss the playoffs again this season. Playoff opponents are always fair game.

Aiy?! I’ve been duped - there’s no shock here! Ok, yeah, maybe the two ‘take it easy votes’ thus far are shocking.
Oh, and Dater should have known he was saucering one right into your wheelhouse with that… he should know better than that, but I guess maybe no.
Never take your foot off the throttle Chief.

Personally I’d like to see a little more Chris Pronger and general Duck bashing. But that in no way means, of course, that the Colorado bashing has to be toned down.

Agreed: more Poultry plucking and Jos-e & the Pussy Cat needed.

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

I was going to post the picture of the “odd” ‘Dique fan in the Av’s sweater. Guess what?
They changed the picture!
