“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.

I’d sacrifice every pet I have in this house right now for the next goal.

That’s a great idea! Let’s all try it together now.

Nice to have a lead going into the third but this game looks like 80 percent of the playoff losses we’ve suffered through the last six years.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/18/08 at 08:16 PM ET
Stress?… what stress? I’m sitting here with handfulls of my hair in my hands waiting for another goal. Now that it’s between periods I can go make that Maalox milkshake. OW… my stomach aches.

MEANINGLESS, MISLEADING STAT: 20 shots on goal. So what? Almost all of them are from distance with Ellis on his knees square to the shooter and no rebound, no side to side, easy saves. 37 to 11 shots and 67-33% Face off advantage, but one sphincter turn over or bounce away from a tie and leaving the series up to chance. Phack Me.

This is starting to look an awful lot like another longstanding 1-0 game last year. And we all know how that one ended.
God, I need a cigarette.

Vodka Martini...nerves of steel....
Maalox is for Saturday.

Pandora (my cat) just ran into the basement. She knows my dedication and my nervousness.

LMAO (nervously) My cats were at the sliding door wanting to come in but have disappeared. Sixth sense, those cats.

More like nerves of rubber… being played like a banjo (subtle nashville reference)… but I get your drift.

Lilja’s in the press box, right?
Put me down for Rafalski in Name Your Goat.

Gotta sign off—wipe my daschounds blood up!!! Good luck tonite everyone. Post game in the Forum tomorrow early.

@O-Joe “Name Your Goat” Damn that is wickedly funny. Whiskey on standby in case of another unthinkable loss when outplaying opponent.

Hot fudge sauce helps ulcers?
Chocolate for stress.
Bars take too long to unwrap, so I eat hot fudge directly from the jar with a spoon.
Wash it down with diet cherry Coke, and it’s like you are injecting chocolate-covered cherries directly into your bloodstream. The sugar rush is amazing.
1-0 after two periods, and it seems so much more stressful than the 4-3 in the Rangers game.
I think I’ll go puke now. Beat the end of game rush.
(Montreal won their 1-0 game earlier. It can be done.)

Like they say… betchca’ can’t eat just one.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 08:27 PM ET
Mickey is right......Nashville is hanging around like a bad smell!!! Did anyone catch the CBC feed which showed the hugh purple octopi coming down from the rafters in front of Dan Ellis...that was great....
Posted by Kitchenwitch from Michigan on 04/18/08 at 08:29 PM ET
mmmm… hot fudge....

If we take an early penalty again, I’ll puke on my cat.

By the way where is Jennifer tonight?
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/18/08 at 08:32 PM ET
The playoffs are so full of suck. I’m not doing this sh*t next year.
No, really.
Posted by O-Joe on 04/18/08 at 08:33 PM ET
HOLD ON TO YOUR STROHS! 3rd period bros.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/18/08 at 08:33 PM ET
Someone on Bubba’s bench has a full face mask on. Did I miss that, or is it new for the 3rd?
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 08:33 PM ET
Tigers up 7-4 in the top of the 7th. Uh-oh.
Shit.
Verlander got blasted yesterday! that has to count for something!
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 04/18/08 at 08:33 PM ET
Is it time for Ellis to melt?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/18/08 at 08:34 PM ET
Yeah O-Joe, and I’m not going to sacrifice my 10th cat next year either.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 08:35 PM ET
Ozzie, Ozzie, ... !!!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/18/08 at 08:37 PM ET
60 minutes, boys. give us a full 60.
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/18/08 at 08:40 PM ET
Game has degenerated to sleepwalking again. This is the condition when Nashville suddenly wakes up and scores 2 goals in 30 seconds. Word!
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/18/08 at 08:43 PM ET
dangerous situation...no change and a tired 4th line...Helm’s gotta win this faceoff…
who is the D man that dumped that in...how do you not hit the red line?
Posted by Osrt on 04/18/08 at 08:43 PM ET
This, so far, isn’t the statement I wanted the Wings to send to Nashville.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 08:45 PM ET
Why the hell do we do this every year?
Why the torture? No one, not even Bubba would complain if we were up by 4.
Posted by lilja4ever on 04/18/08 at 08:45 PM ET
Bingeing on chocolate syrup and Coke, then puking. Baroque, the playoff bulimic. Actually, it’s a healthier habit than my compulsive alcoholism and latent nicotine cravings during the playoffs. Remind me to send you a box of chocolates the next time I’m in Belgium. Mme. Dumon does a killer schokoladekirschen.
1-0 CAN be the final score, but not if I want to keep my hair. I’m pledging my spleen to Floppa for a goal here…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 04/18/08 at 08:48 PM ET
Stress train stress train stress train...... just one freakin bounce away from being tied. this after owning the last 5 of 6 periods..
Save me Jebus!

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
