Looked like a girl I had a crush on in junior high.
Or one to slip something in your Orange Crush?

Hey Todd, call me during the second intermission, if you can pull yourself away from the “musical entertainment”. If I’ve had enough to drink, I may admit to having actually paid good money to see that band back in the eighties.
And thanks again Mister Monkey, for the most excellent avatar. Beer’s on me, if you make it to Raleigh Monday night.

Well...naw. Wasn’t her style. Just read the description of the movie.
Only missed Stuart getting Ponikarovsky’s number. Someone has toupee…
And now Setanta is advertising something called “Russel [sic] Crowe: South Sydney Story.” Don’t give me that krapp-- the guy’s from NZ, not ruddy Sydney. Roosters fan or not.
Okay, I’m back on the TRADE LILJA wagon…

I asked earlier where the ridiculous was. I think it has been found.

We are turning the puck over way to much. Losing the little battles. The Leafs look better than us in all aspects. we need to wake up!

Howdy boys and girls… sorry I’m late to the party. My laptop is having um… issues. No time to think, I need a drink… LET’S GO RED WINGS!

Paging the Flying Circus. C’mon, Unka Mike!
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/09/08 at 07:33 PM ET
we need to wake up!
Looks like that goal took the steam out of the team...this hasn’t been an inspiring 2nd. I think they’ll wake up for hte third....not going to want to open the season with a....well...you know.

Fil, not cool in front of your own net.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/09/08 at 07:33 PM ET
Oh. My own freaking fault with the alarm. I keep forgetting that it’s a 24-hour clock.
Somewhere, some boneheaded analyst is mumbling about Stanley Cup hangovers…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/09/08 at 07:35 PM ET
Dougie, I could never turn down any free beer. Making it out to Raleigh, on the other hand, I’m not too sure about.
Does Def Leppard sound better when you don’t understand what they’re saying?
Setanta. Has anyone ever noticed the eerie similarities between Santa and Satan?
Posted by monkey from Waiting for the lambs to stop screaming on 10/09/08 at 07:36 PM ET
I recognize that team that shift......
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 07:36 PM ET
Ozzzzz gooooood. Ozzzzzzz goooooood. How is the future HoFer doing so far? Only one goal, surely it must have been a stellar opportunity.
Posted by rwhater on 10/09/08 at 07:36 PM ET
Free nachos here… beer used to spice the beef..... just sayin.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Cheap call. Sux when all the hometown refs are from TO.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/09/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Leafs are just working harder than us , their forecheck is tenacious we can’t make the adjustments thus far. maybe if we can get a lucky or ugly goal in we might play like we can.
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 10/09/08 at 07:38 PM ET
wonder what is happening on survivor?lol
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 10/09/08 at 07:39 PM ET
I’m sorry I missed the banner raising. That sucks.
I’m glad I missed Def Leppard. That rocks.
Anything after Pyromania is absolute garbage.

Attafreaking boy Malts.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 07:40 PM ET
That’s how you clear the crease.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/09/08 at 07:40 PM ET
What the hell happened there??
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/09/08 at 07:40 PM ET
Setanta. A giant from The Ulster Cycle, kinda the Bible of Irish mythology. Now well-known as a sports network.currently carrying the Wings in the UK and Ireland.
In case that ever comes up in Trivial Pursuit as well.
Now WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/09/08 at 07:40 PM ET

That’s not how you clear the crease.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/09/08 at 07:41 PM ET
Most lethal powerplay? I’m very confused. Just one game thank goodness.
Posted by SENShobo from Waterloo, ON on 10/09/08 at 07:41 PM ET
Chief… don’t leave Ms Morisette out in the cold. Ok, fell free.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 07:41 PM ET
Ugh. I’m not hungover. Is anyone else hungover? Rummy? Gabe? Shark? Lilja? Spanky? Okie? No?
Oh, someone else must be.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/09/08 at 07:41 PM ET
We are looking confused and out of position and the leafs look like the far superior team. babs has to be pissed!
Posted by hankyspanky40 from Michigan on 10/09/08 at 07:41 PM ET
A Detroit goal would be good right about now. I am almost considering going to class early here…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/09/08 at 07:42 PM ET
dude
Like seriously?
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 07:42 PM ET
Homer between the legs. That’s better.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/09/08 at 07:42 PM ET
Homer! That was sneaky…
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago, on the poop deck, not over it yet on 10/09/08 at 07:43 PM ET
Let’s face it TO is out working the Wings. Uncle Mike isn’t going to be too happy.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 10/09/08 at 07:43 PM ET
Homer you magnificent drunken Swede!!!
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 10/09/08 at 07:43 PM ET
HOMER!!! You Beautiful Sweenish Bastard!!!
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/09/08 at 07:43 PM ET
And THAT’S how you score...HOMER!
First Wings goal of the season from the Drunk Chipmunk...the duck is broken!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from Fortress Europe on 10/09/08 at 07:43 PM ET
Knee looked fine…
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 07:43 PM ET
I was just getting ready to ask whether Babs would panic and throw out a Dats/Z/Hossa line.

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
