that looked like a Hasek flop! “ooh, OW, you brushed me with your shoulder and knocked me into the stands!”
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:27 PM ET
two goals up, less than a period and a half. Wings need to shut this thing down.

Did Forsberg stash porn in the box during warm-ups or what?

and the Vag bench goes into disarray. too many men
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/29/08 at 10:32 PM ET
too many men on the ice? sheesh.

Av’s too many men—implosion!!!

Josie hasn’t had a chance to give up 5 goals yet…

Jose Theodore = Jose ThreeOrFour = 3/4
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:32 PM ET
RW: “Thoedore” sounds like, acts like “3 or 4”

PP looking a little wobbly there, guys…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/29/08 at 10:33 PM ET
and no interference call behind the net. wonderful.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 10:33 PM ET

you mean like 3/4...or the whole Avs team? I guess you’d be the one to know what wobbly looks like.

Another Freaking Dominating Period at the Mile High Vagina.

has anyone else noticed how nonchalant Brad Stuart seems behind the net in our zone? weird. very weird.

One more period and this series is over.

Parity Nate, parity.
they can’t stop him fairly so they get a little leeway on the “rules” in order to give the game a little parity.
there have been a few missed calls in the last 5 of the 2nd.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/29/08 at 10:38 PM ET
LMAO. Roger on the 3 or 4.
To me Theodore sounds like “GoneInFour”.

Alright. Been drinking and have something unpopular to say. Little Gary...ass? I just can’t get behind it anymore. Since he’s taken charge (92? 93?), the Wings haven’t missed the playoffs, have picked up three Cups, 6 president trophies, have dominated the whole league…
Gary’s an idiot...an ineffective leader, a poor choice when it comes to handing over the keys to the NHL...he’s dilluted the talent of teams, he’s expanded into the wrong markets, made sure you can’t find hockey on TV, partnered with companies that make a joke of this league…
but…
None of that has been bad for the Wings. In fact it’s been good for them. Even putting the team in the West and making sure they have one of the most grueling travel schedules in the league hasn’t shown that it hurts them. His attempts to create parity have only highlighted the genius that is Ken Holland.
So I just wanted to say thanks Gary. Yes, you’re an ass, but you’re okay. Feel free to screw this league over for years to come if it means I get to keep watching the Wings spank the Avs in the playoffs.

I’m too superstitious too agree with that, but then I’m a strange like that.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/29/08 at 10:40 PM ET
The Wing’s PP is about where it was at in the regular season - 20.20%. It’s at 19.04% after those two PP goals tonight.

You know, what I like best about this board is that when someone has a legitimate question one of the regulars takes the time to explain and educate the person. Kudos to all of you on a job well done… Now, back to the snide comments..
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/29/08 at 10:40 PM ET
Man, Draper interview. To bad its not with the DC. He could deliver a wicked roundhouse.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 04/29/08 at 10:41 PM ET
Other topic… how ‘bout the freakin D Stars? Making mincemeat of the Left Coast. Funny.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/29/08 at 10:41 PM ET
Stuart was trying to get cute on the line…
...Kronner has been silently dominant: 8 assists, most among any defensemen

Twenty more minutes would make a nice birthday gift for Lidstrom and Uncle Mike!!

Didn’t the DC pick the Snorks to come out of the West?
I know he picked the Rangers in the East and Sidney and friends are going through NY like Oprah through a ham.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/29/08 at 10:44 PM ET
Around 8 minutes of power play time in that period, but only 9 shots?
Posted by jrl123 on 04/29/08 at 10:45 PM ET
Snorks?
Wow. Wingsfan, I think you just outed yourself as a child of the 80s.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/29/08 at 10:45 PM ET
Well WingsinDenver, the DC is a hockey genius, that’s why no GM will offer him a position in the game.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/29/08 at 10:46 PM ET
thanks for the link, IWO. Datsyuk looks unbelievable. every time he’s on the ice, the Wings have a scoring chance. almost got the hat trick on the breakaway. i’m calling a Datsyuk hat trick tonight!
Posted by Alex from San Francisco on 04/29/08 at 10:46 PM ET
As much as I hate to say it, I think the Wings are really going to play tight defensively in the third.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 10:47 PM ET
Wow. Wingsfan, I think you just outed yourself as a child of the 80s.
What can I say? I like that better than “the Tuna”.
Anyone wanna take bets on Wilson’s tenure in SJ?
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/29/08 at 10:47 PM ET
Yeah, but the 9 shots counted! Lockdown this mother now. Please no goals given up for at least 10 minutes! No early goals in this period.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 04/29/08 at 10:48 PM ET
Did you know Sammy dove on that Foppa high stick?
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 04/29/08 at 10:49 PM ET
Alright. Been drinking and have something unpopular to say.
Gabriel, definitely not the way to start a sentence. In AA they teach you that it is “not all about you.” So find a friend and stop drinking alone. At least that’s how I took their advice.
Me? I’m on the roof of the Hasek between periods hitting golf balls. Chief said we need to get out more on the other thread. C’mon up.... buck a ball...unless “Lucky” the three legged dog brings them back, then it’s free.
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 04/29/08 at 10:49 PM ET
Well kids, it’s been fun, but between the pain and Vicodin, I’m toast. Here’s hoping things don’t go south after I go nighty-night. Have fun watching the rest of the game. See you all for game 4!

He’s zen now because he just became a father. He brought new life into this world, so a petty thing like a hockey game can’t penetrate his own little world right now.
I however, amd not a Dad that I know of, so I’d like to say, “Be a LITTLE more careful please. This is the freaking PLAYOFFS!”
That’s all.

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
