Memo below inspired by A2Y logic Czar, Grampa Pinhead.
Dear Tick Tock,
I know I said I’d leave you alone this summer. I said this was the true “Summer of Ken.” Your time to relax and enjoy the accolades and the rainbows, the puppies and bonfires and stuff.
But I take it back. I take it all back and I’m not ashamed.
Because Kenny?
We want you to sign Darcy Tucker.
We want you to sign him quickly, like July 1st at 0001. We’d like you to sign him because we saw what Dallas Drake did for this team last year and we think Tucker would offer at least that.
We’d like you to sign him because as much as we enjoy antagonizing the Dive fans and the Bitter Bitch Blues fans, the instinct to give it to the TO faithful is ingrained in us like nothing else.
We think you can get Tucker for relatively cheap, Kenny. We’re thinking 4 mil/year for two years? Yep. Fits the structure doesn’t it? I told you it would.
Kenny, you’re our friend. We like you.
Now get it done bitch.
Sincerely,
(Some of) The A2Y 19

One minute penalties in OT?

Pretty soon, we’ll be seeing this implemented at the ECHL level.

One minute penalties in OT?
You can thank our good friend Brian Burke for that.

Slow day at work? Sounds like your are bored out of your mind.
Yup. Was it that obvious? The only thing worse than waiting for the end of Friday to come is not having anything to do but watch the clock and troll A2Y while waiting for the end of the day. And this insistence that I be in even if there’s nothing to do that can’t wait until next week, just to have a warm body in a seat, is stupid. I spend a lot of time looking out the window, wishing I had a better view.
That may be true, but we do still have Homer’s delightful linguistic skills.
And his charming drunk-chipmunk visage.
You are close on the name, Andrew very close.
Catriona? Kythryne? Katrin? Katrina?
Eh. I’m no good at guesssing games when I’m not bored out of my skull.
That would be fun to swap players and see how much we have in common and how much is different.
Well, we already know we have one thing in common-- Rush! Neil Peart is one of the most underrated songwriters of the last thirty years. Now...how do you feel about noise rock?
But I’m not doing the top-twenty thing until the Chief says it’s okay. I don’t want have the ignominiousness of being banned…

Avery??
RWBill doesn’t need him competing for Karen Newman’s affections.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd on 06/26 at 11:35 AM
Todd glad you’re looking out for me. Elisha broke my heart by going for the “stupidest player in hockey”, now if Karen went for him, aw God I couldn’t handle it.
Makes me sick that Sean Avery used to hit this.

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
