The SoGay will undoubtedly be rockin’. Cousins will be doing things illegal in most northern states. And we’re Live Blogging.
Game 2’s LB? A world record 234 comments. No hockey blog post in history anywhere on earth has ever accrued that many comments. Beat it tonite? We’ll see.

Hasek can’t remember the last time he’s played 3 games in six days. Something to consider. Like everyone else, if he withstands the first ten, twenty minutes...all will be well.

Nate, we shifted over here for the playoffs. I left it up to the 19 readers and the response was largely in favor of the live blog.
Legwand’s in. Shocker? Not.

We must protect our precious bodily fluids.

Versus is raking in the big-name advertisers. Art Instruction Schools probably paid 3 bucks for that ad in prime time.
Woops. Legace’s been booted. Guess that whole complete sentence requirement finally caught up with him.

I hope every one has eaten something before puck drops. We don’t want any of those nasty dry heaves.

O-Joe that may have been the most important comment to ever appear on this blog.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/14/08 at 06:38 PM ET
brilliant save by Hasek to start the game. exactly what we need to get him going.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/14/08 at 06:43 PM ET
Oh my. That one just might be discussed later should Bubba lose this one.

Cleary could be the first casualty. Hartigan and Chelios both moving slow also.

thanks, I would be prepared for alot of phantom calls after all the whining they did over the last few days.
Posted by Jockey full of bourbon on 04/14/08 at 06:50 PM ET
incidental my ass. the Pred player came in as a third man and took Datsyuk out. clearcut interference. but Bubba boos. go figure.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/14/08 at 06:51 PM ET
Wow, what a takeaway by Datsyuk...and then he draws the interference call. Yet another negated PP by a Nashville penalty.
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 04/14/08 at 06:51 PM ET
Bad call? Too bad. Not an issue if Datsyuk doesn’t steal the puck in the first place.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/14/08 at 06:51 PM ET
at least we can count on them taking stupid penaties half way through thier PP’s
Posted by Jockey full of bourbon on 04/14/08 at 06:51 PM ET
Nice to hear Dave Strader calling a Wings game again. If only Mickey was there too.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/14/08 at 06:52 PM ET
I know we encourage the D to jump up, but… is Stuart supposed to be in Homer-territory on the PP?
Posted by Pete K from Chicago, IL on 04/14/08 at 06:54 PM ET
How about these guys apologize a little more Nashville sucking?
Posted by rwbill on 04/14/08 at 06:57 PM ET
More of that tertiary scoring!
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 04/14/08 at 06:57 PM ET
Well, well, well...look who scored a “goal scorer’s” goal. Secondary scoring? We, clearly, have none.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/14/08 at 06:57 PM ET
Yay, Draper.

---yep, Mike
Posted by O-Joe on 04/14/08 at 06:57 PM ET
WHOOO HOOO! Go Drapes!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/14/08 at 06:57 PM ET
Wow, what are the Preds going to complain about on that goal?
Posted by Hap from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/14/08 at 06:57 PM ET
Fil has got to stop the bad passes.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/14/08 at 06:59 PM ET
Excellent by Draper with that puck on edge and bouncing around. Hudler with the nice pull up ala Fedorov and Datsyuk.
Posted by rwbill on 04/14/08 at 06:59 PM ET
I hate those freaking Pootoo whistles.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/14/08 at 07:00 PM ET
1. Fil’s gotta shoot that puck.
2. O-joe, those quotes must continue.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/14/08 at 07:00 PM ET
Nice slash.

Loaded CSN’s 49 Bye Byes on my six year old’s mp3 player. She’s digging it.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/14/08 at 07:02 PM ET
I am SOOO sick of these in game interviews.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/14/08 at 07:02 PM ET
Nice hit from behind on Dats. Mac, did you get that number?
Posted by Hap from Grand Rapids, MI on 04/14/08 at 07:04 PM ET
Datsyuk definitely did Hap. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him handle it himself one way or another.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/14/08 at 07:05 PM ET
They are cheap-shotting Pavs every chance they get and Stephen Walkom is so avoiding taking my calls right now. Ass.
Posted by O-Joe on 04/14/08 at 07:05 PM ET
I am SOOO sick of these in game interviews.
They’re ALMOST as retarded as the sideline interviews in football. esp since the interviewers all seem to be eye candy and know approximately zero about the game.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 04/14/08 at 07:05 PM ET
Drake’s getting more time. I like it.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/14/08 at 07:07 PM ET
hasek just got into their heads: the pre-game live chicken sacrifice is working. CMOI’s got his mojo working

Samuelsson really is an effective defensive player. Can’t hit the water, but he can check.

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

Blogs the Chief Likes
I love the liveblog and all, but whatever happened to the chat room? Its always empty these days.
Hopefully we dont break KK tonite.
