playing ozzie is a bad choice…
Why? the way things are going it can’t get much worse
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/16/08 at 09:23 PM ET
At the very least osgood needs some practice so that he can start warm in Detroit for game 5
Posted by npietran on 04/16/08 at 09:25 PM ET
Why are we playing like this? What did we do to deserve this kind of play? And after all we heard about composure yesterday…

With that sing-song chant, I’m positive the average age of the Nashville crowd is 5…

SHORTHANDED BREAKAWAY...oh, it’s Draper
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/16/08 at 09:32 PM ET
Well, Chief thanks for trying to help. Maybe it’s for the best if I can’t see this game tonight. ARGH.

MAN-UP WINGS! Start PUNISHING the Preds!

I feel like we need a Kronwall flying elbow
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/16/08 at 09:36 PM ET
He’s definitely moving really well in the crease.

When Stuart does something wrong I hear the woman from the MadTV skit say “Stuuuuarrrrtttt!”
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/16/08 at 09:38 PM ET
Yea definitely; Mom says Wings look better but is annoyed that we aren’t attacking the puck more.
Posted by Osrt on 04/16/08 at 09:40 PM ET
Alright, another PP…
Posted by Matt from Oprah's vajayjay on 04/16/08 at 09:41 PM ET
Drake is trying to make up for missing that break-away
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/16/08 at 09:41 PM ET
Well at least game 5 should be entertaining.
Posted by Pete from Chatham, ON on 04/16/08 at 09:42 PM ET
why are Rafi and Lidstrom playing the wrong sides?
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/16/08 at 09:43 PM ET
I’ve lost count of the number of breaks Nashville has had…
Posted by C3091 on 04/16/08 at 09:44 PM ET
So the Preds are pressuring way out to the point and along the boards, even short handed. Why is no one skating through the seams?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 04/16/08 at 09:45 PM ET
AAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHA.
This is awesome.
Posted by ChickenWings on 04/16/08 at 09:47 PM ET
I’m so not happy tonight. This whole blackout thing on top of how the Wings are playing, is really frustrating. What the heck am I paying Center Ice so much money for if I can’t get the game??? And the people at Versus already admitted to me that I was outside their blackout range.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/16/08 at 09:48 PM ET
You know what these guys need.... a BIG glass of DOWNEY!
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 04/16/08 at 09:49 PM ET
I think this board needs a little pick-me-up:

20 minutes to fix 40 minutes of puke. Embarrassing effort so far, but somehow I’m not surprised. If the Wings lose, this will be the 4th straight year the Wings will be 2-2 in a 1st Round series.
Posted by Jeremy on 04/16/08 at 09:52 PM ET
Well, start booking those tee times…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 04/16/08 at 09:52 PM ET
I should’ve known it was a bad sign when I got the NHL Center Ice feed and I had to listen to the Idiot twins. Why did I have to get FSNsouthwest? I made the jump to Versus as soon as it came on.
Wings came out strong and then I’m not sure WTF happened. I’m crabby. Beyond crabby. Where is the leadership? Where is the drive, the hunger? Why is Chelios playing so badly?????
I HATE THE PLAYOFFS.

That goal doesn’t hold a candle to this one:

Posted by Tuba Guy from Royal Oak, MI on 04/16/08 at 09:59 PM ET
I can tell you what happened:
Their goalie let in too many easy shots.
Posted by w2j2 on 04/16/08 at 09:59 PM ET
The Versus intermission report isn’t helping my mood. C’mon boys, we need a strong third period.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 04/16/08 at 10:04 PM ET
This is 2001 vs. LA all over again. I don’t like the Wings chances after this game, no sir I don’t.
Posted by Jeremy on 04/16/08 at 10:05 PM ET
Nashville’s promotional slogan for the playoffs is, “Hello Stanley”?
Ok, who is going to explain to Bubba slowly and in small words, that Lord Stanley has been dead for quite some time?

YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

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
