“There’s 80 teams in the league?”
No, I have 12 Wings jerseys, and then I have home/road jerseys from some teams and then I started collecting throwbacks.

Don’t expect much, it was assembled under the influence.
Dub(©), no worries...have you forgotten about this little atrocity?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/11/09 at 03:10 PM ET
:16 and a rookie gets his first career goal. Good old Red Wings. That’s ok, we have 59 minutes and 44 seconds to get that one back.

i am not a fan of these jerseys, they may have been fine for the winter classic, but that was a special one time event…
Posted by yzer19man from 300 W Hill St Chicago, 60610 on 04/11/09 at 03:12 PM ET
I really like these classic sweaters, but its tough to read the numbers.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 04/11/09 at 03:12 PM ET
Okay. Wait. Why is Cheli a forward? I didn’t see the pregame. Who’s out? Is this because this’ll be the last game Cheli will ever play in Detroit?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/11/09 at 03:12 PM ET
Guys in front of Conks aren’t doing a lot to help him out either.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/11/09 at 03:12 PM ET
This is going to be hilariously bad. Chelios and Meech at forward, and Maltby at centre.
Posted by Alzy from Innisfail, Alberta, Canada on 04/11/09 at 03:13 PM ET
Don’t complain.Don’t explain.
NO jinx.Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

“CHELIOS FOR SELKE!”
Didn’t Mike Green already win that?
Posted by Chris in Hockey Hell from COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE on 04/11/09 at 03:14 PM ET
Dub!
I got goosebumps watching that link you provided. You should get that on youtube, brother.
If you want a video that gets you into the hype of the Wings’ playoffs, check out Dub’s link.
Posted by SYF from Las Vegas, NV on 04/11/09 at 03:15 PM ET
Well thanks SYF - I’m having some tech issues on my end, or it would already be up there.
I got a little goosebumpery myself, glad you liked.

Damn, we are flatter that Keira Knightley’s chest out there today.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/11/09 at 03:17 PM ET
its tough to read the numbers

Hossa is hurt remember.

Dub, what’s the issue yer wrasslin with? (Still downloading...)
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/11/09 at 03:19 PM ET
Wow, looks like Conklin went out for a few sodas last night.
Sheesh.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 04/11/09 at 03:19 PM ET
“Wow, looks like Conklin went out for a few sodas last night.”
He was out with Mick getting “ginger ales”
Posted by Chris in Hockey Hell from COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE on 04/11/09 at 03:21 PM ET
Dub, what’s the issue yer wrasslin with?
Gabe(notanexclamationpoint)
Multiple and self-inflicted.
Stand by, the woman and I are cracking up over your proposal vid still… heh.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 04/11/09 at 03:22 PM ET
Dave Bolland is taking his life for granted.
Jonny Ericsson doesn’t like that.
Posted by Alzy from Innisfail, Alberta, Canada on 04/11/09 at 03:23 PM ET
i think Big E took his number. There will be retribution.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 04/11/09 at 03:24 PM ET
Cheli at forward sends a message to Gary.Ass.
That this is an exibition game and it doesn’t mean sh!t.Bitches.
Thanks. Gary.Ass.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa. on 04/11/09 at 03:24 PM ET
That was a little scary seeing our D-man getting up after that hit and seeing the 5 before the 2 that accompanied it.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/11/09 at 03:24 PM ET
Wally, from Oompa Loompa
Hold your breath for the next 60 secs, now
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 19 on 04/11/09 at 03:25 PM ET
WALLY!!!!!
(Yes, five exclamation points)
Posted by Alzy from Innisfail, Alberta, Canada on 04/11/09 at 03:25 PM ET
Nice work Hudler. Way to bury it Flip.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 04/11/09 at 03:25 PM ET
Nice play all-around. Getting traffic in front and letting what happens happens.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 04/11/09 at 03:25 PM ET
I may be blessed w/ Tigers/Rangers on my local FSN...but no Wings…
Link anyone????
Posted by BP29er from In a TeePee skinnin' me some Blackhawk on 04/11/09 at 03:26 PM ET
Jiri “don’t trade me, bitches!” Hudler
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 04/11/09 at 03:26 PM ET
Great pass by Happy, good finish by Wally
Posted by Chris in Hockey Hell from COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE on 04/11/09 at 03:26 PM ET
Hence the Classic Jersey. Which I do not really care for. The socks suck. They are giving me a migraine. Bitches.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!

Alright...good job by Wally, but I want to see some points by Dats now.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/11/09 at 03:27 PM ET
Dub, video was excellent. Definitely goodbump worthy.

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
"Like them or hate them, it's not a good idea to start a battle with "the 19" and the Chief. 'Nuff said."
--Astute reader at Dater's All Things Avs
"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
What the *#$%@& was that Conk?
