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.

That’s the way to answer!
Now hit, hit, hit!

This is going to be a looong night!
I’m already feeling like 45 minutes deep in game six versus bubba.

Z had a pair of goals in R1G1. I have a feeling he’ll have a hat trick today…

why is Lilja in the game. wtf. if Stuart isn’t ready, play Ericsson. Lilja clearly can’t handle his job.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/24/08 at 06:58 PM ET
who the hell let Lilja within 1000 yards of the ice?
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/24/08 at 06:59 PM ET
oh yeah, oops I’m a little behind 
just saw the Zetterberg goal, I was bitching about Lilja behind the net on the Avs goal.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/24/08 at 07:00 PM ET
can someone please explain why Nick and Rafi are playing on the wrong sides, AGAIN.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/24/08 at 07:01 PM ET
wow, I must say that Hudler, Helm, McCarty line has turned into a nice little surprise. it’s amazing how much chemistry can make a difference.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/24/08 at 07:03 PM ET
Holy Hell. What a spin on the puck
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 04/24/08 at 07:04 PM ET
This is the goalie we were supposed to be deathly afraid of, right?
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 04/24/08 at 07:04 PM ET
They need to shell ole Jose. get him yanked, that’ll stop this “he’s the greatest goalie in the playoffs” non-sense
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/24/08 at 07:05 PM ET
Hey Gang, sorry I’m late—been chain smoking and fetal after Stazny tally
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 07:05 PM ET
Feeling better after Z and buckets!!!
Goodness Ozzy seen anything since early in the period
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 07:07 PM ET
“after a long layoff.” ? WTF? again Vs. shows they haven’t got a clue. Guy’s probably a rodeo announcer. Thanks Gary. Ass.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/24/08 at 07:08 PM ET
is Theodore always like this? and by this I mean a REBOUND MACHINE. man, he’s like a tennis ball shooter.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/24/08 at 07:08 PM ET
3 in the 1st would be nice, eh?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/24/08 at 07:08 PM ET
Tons and tons of turnovers by Colorado just before the blue line in their own zone. And it looks like they can’t skate.
Posted by Ryan from Toronto on 04/24/08 at 07:09 PM ET
Av’s forecheck is not nearly as aggressive as Bubba was. Wings are flying out of their own zone—and Av’s are way behind the transition game
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 07:09 PM ET
buckets? Cleary? Why
Posted by red from SE Michigan on 04/24/08 at 07:10 PM ET
Wow, TeamDub.
Those Dive third jerseys are sex-ay.

Not when he faces the offensively challenged Wild. Put a real offense out there and he’s the same fragile mental case he’s been all season.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/24/08 at 07:10 PM ET
Foote, Miss Avs-iverse!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 04/24/08 at 07:10 PM ET
clearly the Avs aren’t nearly as good as Nashville. Nashville was a test. this game so far looks like, well, the regular season games they played.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/24/08 at 07:11 PM ET
RED ya Gotta read the “GLOSSARY”
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/24/08 at 07:12 PM ET
My apologies to homosexuals (NTTAWWT) everywhere…

Dub, you should have your photoshop license revoked.

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

jeebus. I’m sick as a dog, high on NyQuil and snickers bars. Last thing I want to wake up to is an Avs goal.
