Oh No He Din’t….It’s a Game 1 Live Blog

Once again, for the second time the last three games, I’ll be missing the live blog tonite, DVRing the game and sitting through an official
function trying not to soil the cloth of our nation. I’ll be receiving your comments and emails throughout and won’t read a single one. Don’t
try to send me notes and trick me either, the ones titled, “Your House Is On Fire”. You almost got me last time but it didn’t work.

street clothes for Jose?
That’s odd, usually a pulled goalie stays in his gear just in case the backup gets hurt. Did the Avs have 3 dressed for tonight?

I know that Lilja has become this years whipping boy… but the son of a bitch keeps giving us so much ammunition. Unless he comes back at the same salary or a paycut… adios amigo.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/24/08 at 08:19 PM ET
Got to get Lilja off the ice.

Way to keep your foot on the gas, boyce.
F*** me.
Why these guys flat-out refuse to play 60 minutes of hockey is beyond me.

Stuart please, please, hurry back!!!

He’s gone either way. Wings have too many talented young defensemen to keep putting up with Lilja’s weak shit. Guy is a liability every time he touches the ice. Dumb penalties, turn overs, missed assignments, the list goes on and on
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/24/08 at 08:21 PM ET
Ozzy needs to step up, big time—and some more intensity by the rest of the Wings would be really freaking nice.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:21 PM ET
Funny though, I’m not stressing badly at all. Wings just need to play like they did in the 1st period—and all should be well.
If they play like they did in the 2nd—well, they probably should all taken to the cat sacrifice alter to see what they put us through.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:25 PM ET
Can you believe Lilja has turned down the Wings offer at least once this year. Wait ‘till he goes elsewhere and gets exposed for the liability he truely is…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/24/08 at 08:25 PM ET
Can they stop showing Dive highlights? I keep throwing up in my mouth.
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 04/24/08 at 08:25 PM ET
Agreed, Jeff - GET INTENSE NOW!!!

He’s sure not endearing himself to any potential teams willing to take him.

Somebody needs to tell the Wings that it is not against the Rules or the CODE to beat a team like 6 - 0. Its okay, really!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:28 PM ET
I say Dats gets the next 1 for the Wings
and we go home happy!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/24/08 at 08:29 PM ET
Looks like both teams are feeling some tension to start the third!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:32 PM ET
(hey, anyone else holding their breath, too?)
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/24/08 at 08:33 PM ET
(hey, anyone else holding their breath, too?)
My wife is becoming worried.

Here, Hockey Gods. A summary of the second period for You.
Posted by lilja4ever on 04/24/08 at 08:33 PM ET
Hell, I don’t care if there are no more goals in this game
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:34 PM ET
So did anyone believe that story about Theodore “not feeling well”?
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 04/24/08 at 08:35 PM ET
Freakin’ Lebda, you should have buried that!
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 04/24/08 at 08:36 PM ET
I finally caught up with you guys. Got home at 8:15 been fast forwarding every frigging break in play since then.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/24/08 at 08:36 PM ET
that was a bad miss by Lebda. looks like budaj is particularly weak moving cross-crease
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/24/08 at 08:36 PM ET
DAMN what a sequence that was!!!!
Wonder what Uncle Mike had to say at intermission
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:37 PM ET
Chief! Are you our good luck charm?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/24/08 at 08:38 PM ET
What a BS call by McCreary
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:38 PM ET
Dive! Dive! Dive!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/24/08 at 08:39 PM ET
Nice dive, Dive.
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 04/24/08 at 08:39 PM ET
Chief if you dont want to throw up skip all but the first two minutes of the 2nd period
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:39 PM ET
And the award goes to…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/24/08 at 08:39 PM ET
I’ve already watched it all Jeff. Too bad about JoeSay.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/24/08 at 08:41 PM ET
Dats to Z? Almost ...
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/24/08 at 08:43 PM ET
Wings and their freaking inability to rip the freaking jugular right out of the neck is going to cause a serious pet shortage amongst their most rabid fans.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:43 PM ET
If Z gets that on his forehand it’s in.
Sigh.
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 04/24/08 at 08:44 PM ET
EGAD—now we are back to the Wings playing like mad again, but can’t score
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:45 PM ET
Jeff, I know a guy that knows a guy who deals in kitty rustlin’. Maybe I can hook you up…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/24/08 at 08:46 PM ET
Give us 60 minutes, boys. A full 60 minutes!!!!!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/24/08 at 08:47 PM ET
Shots this period 8 - 2 DET
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:48 PM ET
Ok, that’s it for Lilja for one night. We don’t need the added excitement anymore.
Posted by lilja4ever on 04/24/08 at 08:48 PM ET
I’d like one of those cat fur collar denim coats Mike—svelte
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:49 PM ET
Kronwall and Lilja trying to possess the puck in their own end is pure frigging torture.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/24/08 at 08:50 PM ET
Best shift for the AVs this entire period
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 08:51 PM ET
Thanks Jeff, but I gotta give credit to the wife… she hated skinning the thing but afterall… she is a Red Wing fan.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/24/08 at 08:51 PM ET
I know Uncle Mike is a good coach. I’ve seen him do some really great stuff behind the bench (throwing the Poultry bench into disarray in the WCF last year). But every time he puts Lilja on the ice I wonder what he’s thinking.

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
