I really like the confidence of the Wings at this point. The Dive ran them to begin the game and scored an early goal but the Wings played their game. They look very steady, and dare I say it, ‘championistic’ in their determination.

Octopi on Avs ice?
Posted by red from SE Michigan on 04/29/08 at 09:54 PM ET
Helluva period. Even when the Avs took the lead the Wings were playing better and making more chances.
Avs lucky it’s not 4-1 by now.

Versus stats show faceoffs 14-6 Avs. that can’t be right. anybody paying enough attention to know if that’s accurate?

“In terms of” dim-witted play-by-play men, how many times did this guy re-use “in terms of “ in the first period. “____ leads his team in terms of ____” “The _____ lead the NHL in terms of _______”
Still he’s better than Milbury, in terms of being a douche bag.

The NHL.com scoresheet agrees with VS.

Let’s hope we can send Floppa back to the dressing room.

Dub, that makes my heart happy.
Thank you sir.

Face offs 14-6 Avs as shown at the NHL.com game summary also.

Stasny’s done for the night, per the Late Night Sneaky Uncle…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 10:04 PM ET
did you guys see the guy with the Kocur jersey, right where Kronner made the huge hit
Posted by Osrt on 04/29/08 at 10:04 PM ET
did he just say that was kronner’s first good hit of the playoffs? is this the first game he’s seen?
Posted by scheisskopf on 04/29/08 at 10:05 PM ET
and no hooking call on the Avs against Datsyuk. pathetic.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:06 PM ET
Eh, especially the end of the season, Paul. I’m thinking we’re seeing his last games.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/29/08 at 10:06 PM ET
Maybe it’s the Vicodin… but i missed the Stastny thing. What happened?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/29/08 at 10:06 PM ET
How was that not a hook on Datsyuk?
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 10:06 PM ET
That’s gotta be a freaking hooking when Datsyuk was going to the net. WTF?
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/29/08 at 10:06 PM ET
Nevermind...they just replayed it.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/29/08 at 10:06 PM ET
Hi Guys, sorry I’m late. Mule might need an upgrade to thoroughbred!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 10:06 PM ET
Jesus. Nobody shake Forsberg’s hand, yeah?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/29/08 at 10:07 PM ET
Nice 1st period commentary folks, I’m all caught up now.
Looks like Draper took out Petey with an ankle check...hee hee.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/29/08 at 10:08 PM ET
When McLeod got called for high sticking in the first, I asked my family, what was that a penalty for? And my brother quickly responds, “Just being an Avalanche player.” I was so proud of that comment.

Naw, that’s “old time hockey,” Colorado-style.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 10:09 PM ET
BEAUTY!!!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/29/08 at 10:11 PM ET
good job Foote. way to try to be a pussy and cover the puck up for a faceoff.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:11 PM ET
WHOOO HOOO Dats!!!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/29/08 at 10:11 PM ET
amazing pass to the point by Datsyuk, and he gets it back. beautiful!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:11 PM ET
Osgood makes a couple brilliant saves, the puck goes the other way...and into the Avs net.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:11 PM ET
So there’s the 3… where’s the 4? 
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/29/08 at 10:11 PM ET
and there’s datsyuk, the so-called “playoff choke artist”
Posted by scheisskopf on 04/29/08 at 10:12 PM ET
Dumb F--kers everybody going to the boards to deliver a hit and leave the goalie hung out to dry. Avs .... such a mindless play.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/29/08 at 10:12 PM ET
Man, it sucks that we’ve got a perennial playoff choker like Datsyuk on our team.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 04/29/08 at 10:12 PM ET
Av’ guy left the point to go hit a Wing on the Wall, and Pav’s buries the puck— SWEET
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 10:12 PM ET
Well, there’s three, give us four.
Thanks Jose.
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 04/29/08 at 10:12 PM ET
And there’s the even-up call. Good on ya, Gary. Ass.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 10:13 PM ET
Agreed Nate. And that we don’t have the grit to handle the playoff grind.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/29/08 at 10:13 PM ET
So there’s the 3… where’s the 4?
Gee Jen, wait til at least the 10:00 minute mark, LOL

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
