The Czech Miracle one last time too. Nice to see eveyone on the same sheet of ice at once.
Ok, now that’s that.
Last year is last year, we’ve got miles and miles to go......
Giddyfreakingyup boys. We’ve got 29 teams to take on shift by shift and a billion small battles to win. ONE TEAM ONE GOAL.

The versus guys babbled over the Canadia(e)n anthem, and went to commercial.

Dude, It’s like Christmas but 77 degrees outside. But about 1,000,000 times better.

Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 06:25 PM ET
How long before one form of ridiculous or another?
Posted by SENShobo from Waterloo, ON on 10/09/08 at 06:27 PM ET
Hossa draws a penalty with his freaking wheels—wow I never realized he was soo freaking fast
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 10/09/08 at 06:28 PM ET
Zoom Zoom....
Dats said he pulled his groin keeping up with Hoss.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 06:28 PM ET
....weren’t powerplays supposed to always start in the shorthanded team’s zone? What did I miss about that Leaf penalty that plopped it just outside?
Posted by SENShobo from Waterloo, ON on 10/09/08 at 06:29 PM ET
New rules said so I thought I read too.....?
Huh. Gary, Ass.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 06:30 PM ET
“it’s like the same line is coming out twice.”
- CBC play-by-play describing the top 2 Wing lines
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/09/08 at 06:30 PM ET
PP starts in the attacking zone always now.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/09/08 at 06:31 PM ET
Wow, that Leaf play was actually slightly pretty.
Posted by SENShobo from Waterloo, ON on 10/09/08 at 06:31 PM ET
The rust is definitely showing…
Who’s got the over/under on the Return of the Flying Circus?
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/09/08 at 06:33 PM ET
tic-tac and out of the defensive zone. Scary pretty.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/09/08 at 06:33 PM ET
It’s not always, there are a few exceptions, but I am fairly confident that the Leafs didn’t earn any of them that time.
Posted by SENShobo from Waterloo, ON on 10/09/08 at 06:33 PM ET
Boy Osgood is such a ? huh.......
Ok 81 in my security code now. WTF with all the Wing #’s.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 06:34 PM ET

Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 10/09/08 at 06:35 PM ET
Caught a break on that non-call… and paid it right back off the crossbar!
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/09/08 at 06:35 PM ET
Frantic and good. Boy did I miss this.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/09/08 at 06:36 PM ET

Homer’s knee still bothering him? He’s been knocked down twice now on pretty weak hits.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 10/09/08 at 06:39 PM ET
Conk makes his first save from the pine.....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 06:39 PM ET

I was thinking the same thing…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 10/09/08 at 06:40 PM ET
Homer took a puck off his foot last week—missed several practices
maybe still sore
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 10/09/08 at 06:41 PM ET
Looks to me like Babs is trying to tire out the Leafs… Playing the checking line a lot.
Posted by lilja4ever on 10/09/08 at 06:41 PM ET
Note to Fil, don’t pass to #37.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 10/09/08 at 06:41 PM ET
That was a nice cross-ice pass to Hossa, though, sore knee or no…

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
