I’M GOING TO PUKE
I second that....*runs to the toilet*
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 11:27 PM ET
YES!! Avs pull 3or4, and they can’t even gain the Wings zone!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/29/08 at 11:27 PM ET
“good night, from Denver Colorado.”
you can say that again.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 11:27 PM ET
THANK. GOD. Great win. Great game. Avs did a lot better...and Josie wasn’t nearly as bad as I expected him to be. Not sure about a sweep, but this series is over nonetheless.

And I can breathe again…
Geebus that was tense…
It’s getting down to foot-on-throat time, people…

Thank you Ozzie
WTF did he say? Give Forzberg credit for what?

Up three games to NONE!!!!

Phew. 9

So...does Theodore start game 4? My money says yes. Because Quinn has a man-crush.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/29/08 at 11:29 PM ET
we tcb’d when we had to...awesome show of force in that last 2 on the forecheck. gotta love that we took the fight to them in their own zone instead of playing the neutral zone trap.
when you win, you can excuse a breakaway miss like that...but come on buckets...would have been a nice clincher…

Credit for drawing 6 mins in penalties!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/29/08 at 11:30 PM ET
now that was a shutdown shift! although they couldn’t score on the open net, they kept the pressure on.
thanks for the link IWO!
Posted by aaron from phoenix, that makes me a Transplant on 04/29/08 at 11:30 PM ET
Yes Gabe he’ll go with 3/4 and he’ll be GoneInFour!

Ken Kal: This game is over and this game is....
...
over. Exactly.
Posted by Ludmeister from KY on 04/29/08 at 11:30 PM ET
Haha..a simple f**king line change that twice could not be executed properly. Inexcusable.
Posted by O-Joe on 04/29/08 at 11:31 PM ET
Thank you Red Wings Fans.

Nine - Howe!!!!
Nice, awfully freaking nice!!!

Mike Ricci apparently thinks the Eurotwins are incredible.
Thanks, but they don’t visit trucker stops…
Posted by Osrt on 04/29/08 at 11:34 PM ET
I’m not superstitious like they are on the TURTLE blog, but a couple of times now I’ve come in with my stress reliever chant and the Wings came out with couple quick goals afterwards.
it is keeping me off the Stress Train since Round 1…
namu myoho renge kyo
3-0 Baby… we are owning these guys despite having their best game of the year against us.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 04/29/08 at 11:35 PM ET
can’t believe three series are 3-0. Cup Finals might be early this year…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 11:36 PM ET
I wonder how Boob from Boulder’s mother enjoyed her facial this evening.
Posted by O-Joe on 04/29/08 at 11:39 PM ET
Divealanche earned their nickname tonight, geez!
(sorry if xeroxing comments)

Paul, found this from a GIS for “panic”. Seriously.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/29/08 at 11:40 PM ET
I was waiting for Jose to give up another goal so that I could call him Jose Four or Five, and it’d be hilarious. Oh well--there’s still next game.
Obviously that was a much improved game by the Avs. Brilliant game by the Zetterberg and Datsyuk, though. This is the first time these playoffs they both pushed their game to that next level.
Still a disappointing game for Chelios, and it was a little worrying to see Kronvall and Franzen made to look so slow.
Posted by Ryan from Toronto on 04/29/08 at 11:41 PM ET
I can’t believe I’m saying this but I want VS coverage. I don’t get to see Ozzie’s interview or Howe or anything. Damn.
Classic moment though: “Here comes Franzen to tell Forsberg what you’re doing to our countryman you idiot!” --Mickey Redmond.
Posted by Osrt on 04/29/08 at 11:42 PM ET
As soon as the game ended, VS. went to their “Hockey Central” post game show, and Keith Jones immediately began gobbling Forsberg’s ballsack, talking about how much of a warrior he is and all that shit. Thank God the game was over and I could change the damn channel. Good road win for the boys, now let’s really take care of business and come home Friday for a few days off before we set our sites on Turco and the Stool

If we were going to drop a game this series, this shoulda been it..
They outshot us 35-33
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/29/08 at 11:43 PM ET
thanks for a great year ken and mick!! see ya in october!!
Posted by christpuncher from detroit on 04/29/08 at 11:46 PM ET
Chief… I just now read the title of this GDT, and only checked in around gametime…
LOL
I was listening to Gordon Lightfoot this morning having just got some last night, first time in years too… what a coincidence!
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 04/29/08 at 11:48 PM ET
thanks for a great year ken and mick!! see ya in october!!
It was a great game from them. Unabashed homerism; they were calling the game like genuine fans. And Jon Keating can’t stop smiling.
I love these guys.
Posted by Osrt on 04/29/08 at 11:51 PM ET
I just checked out the MMH comments. That Boob from Boulder sure is a whiny little bitch.
Posted by O-Joe on 04/29/08 at 11:52 PM ET
Shane, Joe, Jibble; come over and talk, lament etc––I like you all in that hateful way.
Bob: pull up your sack and come back here like we challenged you to. Come back and schnell you little biatch…
Posted by Osrt on 04/30/08 at 12:16 AM ET
Was it just my imagination, or did I hear “Forsberg is a warrior” at least 5 times during the game? Umm...how is he a warrior? Mac is a warrior. Homer is a warrior. Cheli is a warrior. Forsberg is a guest-appearance on Sex in the City waiting to happen.

it was a little worrying to see Kronvall and Franzen made to look so slow.
Aww come on give ‘em a break. I think the altitude played a little part in that.

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
