“I can’t be bothered with hygiene issues right now.”
--IwoCPO to his wife 7 minutes prior to Game 5.
It’s on.
Whoa...Legwand and Arnott both out tonite.

Fourth line looking dangerous. How many times have we been able to say that the last 7 months?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/18/08 at 07:47 PM ET
Good work by the 4 Line there. Ellis gave up a huge rebound on the MAC blast—perhaps they will go to school and learn something there?

Let’s keep slamming those pucks right into his freakin bread basket so he looks like a magician in there....doesn’t have to move side to side at all.

I hate to bring this up but where is the physical game McCarty is supposed to be providing for the Wings? Has he laid anybody out yet? Smithson decked him last game from behind and… nothing. What’s going on?

PHACK -Games half over and it’s a one shot game. Phack Me!!!
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/18/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Mac is trying to make sure he isn’t a defensive liability...not very aggressive. But yes, he should line someone up.
Posted by Osrt on 04/18/08 at 07:51 PM ET
PP and the top line is rested—lets pot a goal shall we???
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/18/08 at 07:52 PM ET
@Mike...don’t think they’re looking for Mac to fight, or even lay people out unless he has to. When would he have to? No idea, but I don’t think that’s come up yet.
Plus, that 4th line is looking good tonight. No need to fight yet. Just play.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 07:52 PM ET
Where are the pointless penalties Bubba usually take?
Posted by lilja4ever on 04/18/08 at 07:52 PM ET
Now is the time to apply that boot to the throat boys… we need a PP goal.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 07:53 PM ET
BUZZING—back of the net --- PLEASE
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/18/08 at 07:54 PM ET
Didn’t mean to imply fighting on Mac’s part. Just bang some bodies and finish checks… you know… like Downey does when he plays.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 07:56 PM ET
Atta way, boyce. Way to stomp on their Dingus when they’re missing two top guys.

DAMN Damn Damnation. For FRACK sake. 10 - 2 shots and we can’t pull out another freaking goal.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/18/08 at 07:57 PM ET
Heh. I’m waiting for SuperKron to take someone out again.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 07:57 PM ET
DANGER WILL ROBINSON - man we are playing with freaking fire, one turnover, one bounce then its sphincter time as the clock runs out with the next game in hicksville. Danger Will Robinson.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/18/08 at 07:57 PM ET
Mule is a force tonite—need more of that, draw a penalty if nothing else.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/18/08 at 08:00 PM ET
Pretty obvious tonite that Lebda’s speed is the thing that has him in the lineup. He’s been almost burned a few times, but makes up for it by getting back in the play.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/18/08 at 08:01 PM ET
So close...I’d kill the entire Vs. staff for a goal right now.
Who am I kidding? I’d do it anyway. Still want a damn goal or ten, though.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 04/18/08 at 08:01 PM ET
Yeah, like that. 4th line is getting good chances.
So...close...again…
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 08:02 PM ET
13 - 2 shots this period.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/18/08 at 08:02 PM ET
Homer is a beast!
Posted by Rumbear from Sun Diego on 04/18/08 at 08:03 PM ET
the ole rope-a-dope, eh?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/18/08 at 08:03 PM ET
Fiddler saw Kronwall picking up speed and lost an edge along the boards. What a coincidence.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/18/08 at 08:03 PM ET
They’re talking about ‘grit’ again. Grit is what you put on your driveway after a frost. Grit was sold by kids from the back of comix in the Fifties. Grit is what you hope you don’t find in your seafood.
Let’s play some hockey, bitches.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 04/18/08 at 08:05 PM ET
15-2 shots is just crazy. Ozzy’s gotta stay in this game.
Odds?
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 08:05 PM ET
Darren Elliot is an idiot wrapped in a moron.."Detroit can’t play any better than they are and it’s still a one goal game”. Anybody else believe that BS…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 08:05 PM ET
Can we please freaking score, please. Out of chickens, I’m almost ready to sacrifice my dachsound.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/18/08 at 08:05 PM ET
I missed the first half of the game, but it looks like they’re back to playing wings hockey. Heavy pressure in the offensive zone, few shots, pucks look like they’re held to the Wings sticks w. magnets.
Now if they can just drive the stake through their heart.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/18/08 at 08:06 PM ET
Shit—be tough MULE its just a flesh wound
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/18/08 at 08:07 PM ET
Boarding and blood on Mule...where’s the four freaking minutes?!?
At least he looks okay.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 04/18/08 at 08:08 PM ET
shots 16 -2 this period!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/18/08 at 08:09 PM ET
Now that’s better Mac…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 08:09 PM ET
Franzen had to spill some blood on sacred ground to appease the Hockey Gods. No more worrying now.
You betcha.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 08:09 PM ET
GET ‘EM, MULE! GET’EM!!!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/18/08 at 08:09 PM ET
I’m nearly out of hot fudge sauce.
What a stressful 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
