Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/18/08 at 09:16 PM ET
Hrudey just said that Dat’s hasn’t been impressive; “he’s been lurking”
Ron MacLean was like “Que?”
Posted by Osrt on 04/18/08 at 09:16 PM ET
Franzen.

Turn up the temp in the Nashville locker room....dehydrate Ellis as much as possible…
We could use the OctiFund for the fines that would bring.
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 09:17 PM ET
Hrudy called multiple overtimes?
Someone rip out his heart. Bastard.
I think that’s the closest I’ve ever seen Baroque get to “losing her cool.”
Having fun Wings fans...?

Todd Jones.
Currently trying to save the Wings’ bacon by blowing a save in the ninth…
At this point, he’s got a better chance of putting the god**** puck in the net than anybody in the winged wheel…

OT winner: Tootoo
Posted by SharkFan from San Jose on 04/18/08 at 09:18 PM ET
Forget dehydrate. Just poison him. It’s quicker.
I call Datsyuk.
My heart rate is 76 right now. Should I be worried?
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 04/18/08 at 09:18 PM ET
Same old Story? Wings clearly the better team but the outcome of the game is left to chance - same playoff story year after year.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
I hate the playoffs.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 04/18/08 at 09:19 PM ET
*#$%@& it. The rest of this shit is absolutely nuts, so I’m going with William Tell.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 04/18/08 at 09:19 PM ET
Datsyuk (Whish I have been trying to post for the last five minutes)
Posted by C3091 on 04/18/08 at 09:19 PM ET
Dear Alanah - it’s better than NOT being in the playoffs! (or maybe not?) 
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/18/08 at 09:20 PM ET
This is playoff stress Alanah, not that cheezy Regular Season stress.
Posted by Osrt on 04/18/08 at 09:20 PM ET
F*** Todd Jones, too. Tigs win 8-4. He can’t even blow a save right…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/18/08 at 09:20 PM ET
The normal range is 60-90 beats/minute at rest.
Is this considered “at rest”?
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 09:21 PM ET
Why oh why do we keep making these goalies look like the second coming?
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/18/08 at 09:21 PM ET
Draper or Homer, can’t decide.
On the replays I still can’t believe how cleanly zetterberg lost that draw. The team was 62% too..
Posted by underthechestnuttree from LaSalle, Ontario, Canada on 04/18/08 at 09:21 PM ET
I’ll say Samuelsson, just because anybody on our team scoring in OT would be as likely as Sammy scoring, well, ever.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/18/08 at 09:22 PM ET
Dear Red Wings - If you’re going to lose please do it now so I can get my life back quicker.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/18/08 at 09:22 PM ET
I think that’s the closest I’ve ever seen Baroque get to “losing her cool.”
That’s because I usually censor myself before typing.
Right now I’d eviscerate anyone in front of me with a bread knife for kicks.

Faster Chief....I am on the roof of the Club Car howling.......
Posted by Rumbear from Sun Diego on 04/18/08 at 09:23 PM ET
Homer.

The Bowman Technique of having the visiting locker room freshly painted, eh?
Aside: Funny vid on CBC of Avery and Brodeur not shaking hands in the lineup after their game.
Posted by underthechestnuttree from LaSalle, Ontario, Canada on 04/18/08 at 09:24 PM ET
my game watching buddy just sent me a txt that he’s going to bed. I’m seriously not sure if I can watch this. I gotta hang in there. I BELIEVE!!
ZET!
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 04/18/08 at 09:24 PM ET
I said it was a meaningless stat - all those saves by Ellis were on his knees, square to the shooter, no side to side, no second chances.
all this is going to take, and probably will be, is a deflection off someone’s skate.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/18/08 at 09:24 PM ET
----OT winner: Tootoo
---------You would want that wouldn’t you?
Absolutely. We might be new at this, but we’re not dumb.
Posted by SharkFan from San Jose on 04/18/08 at 09:25 PM ET
|YEAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
Posted by underthechestnuttree from LaSalle, Ontario, Canada on 04/18/08 at 09:26 PM ET
I just wanted to point out:
Ellis: He’s not the goalie we saw the last time the Wings played Bubba in the regular season. He’s an average goalie who isn’t playing over his head any longer. 26 shots on goal against Dan Ellis isn’t nearly enough. 40 will spell at least 4 goals.
LIES!
54 shots will spell...WIN!
Posted by jrl123 on 04/18/08 at 09:27 PM ET
what did I say? homer scores!
Posted by red from s on 04/18/08 at 09:27 PM ET
MMUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEE
YOU BASTARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/18/08 at 09:27 PM ET
Beautiful Patience displayed by franzen. Slight double clutch after he pulled it to the backhand...make SURE it’s not going to be a save 
Posted by underthechestnuttree from LaSalle, Ontario, Canada on 04/18/08 at 09:28 PM ET
Just goes to show you, knocking Franzen into the boards just made him angry and you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry
Posted by Hap from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/18/08 at 09:28 PM ET
I’m sure my blood pressure is up there, though.
If I didn’t have skin I’d be a blood fountain.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 04/18/08 at 09:28 PM ET
I’m gonna try and put this as tactfully as possible. I hate the *#$%@& playoffs.

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
