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.

Eddie O laying the praise on the Wings ... hmmm something must be in the Nashville water—that or Strader’s bias (pro Wing) is rubbing off

AGAIN! have these guys given themselves a full PP this series?

ERAT on the slash on Hasek—bone head play—must be Bubba getting frustrated with the CMOI
EVEN UP --- again. Trotz must be spitting vineager

Now, Gary, your refs are doing what you pay them for: making themselves the game.

Cheap call on Hank. We knew the Ref’s would be bending over for BUBBA—bu Good Gawd

Great Kill—that might be the sequence that defines this series

First message at intermission: Pressure Hamhuis. That guy’s a frigging disaster.

agreed. total composure, keep the chances low probability.

CLEARY HAD A HELL OF A PERIOD that will not show up in the scorebook. Tipped that face off behind the Nashville goal, then outworked 2 other Preds for 10 secs. Killed off 10 secs forechecking by himself just before the end of the period. No wonder Babs loves this guy.

DiPietro is waaaay better than Legace at this stuff.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/14/08 at 07:24 PM ET
nice to be the frustrating team thats winning despite being outshot in the 1st.
Posted by Jockey full of bourbon on 04/14/08 at 07:27 PM ET
OK, we weathered the storm and we’re settled in. The Draper goal has taken the cousins down a notch or two. Come out and play two good road periods, now. Stay responsible in your own zone, wait for the turnovers and beat them on the transition.
That would be my message if I was Uncle Mike.
Posted by O-Joe on 04/14/08 at 07:29 PM ET
It’s odd that we keep getting outshot in the first, yet we’ve scored 3 of our goals in the first period, while giving up none.
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 04/14/08 at 07:31 PM ET
DJ I was thinking the same. Wings knocking them around, killing penalties, goalie stopping everything that gets close (knock on wood). I’ll feel a lot better if it gets 3-0.
Posted by rwbill on 04/14/08 at 07:31 PM ET
Hey. Whoa. Tigers are losing. This better be a long frigging run for the Wings.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/14/08 at 07:31 PM ET
For your intermission viewing pleasure in case you missed it from last nite’s SJ/CGY game.

IWO Game 2 232 comments? Hell we locked up this bitch for at least 30 minutes or we’d have hit 300!
Posted by rwbill on 04/14/08 at 07:33 PM ET
I second that thought Chief!!

Alright! A Navy commercial!

TV just cut out temporarily. My wife: That’s just verizon *#$%@& with you honey.
Probably very true.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/14/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Wings looking a wee bit tentative here
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/14/08 at 07:39 PM ET
Of course, for a team staring at going down 3 games, Bubba sure doesn’t look too freaking desparate
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/14/08 at 07:40 PM ET
Alright! A Navy commercial!
Accelerate your life motherfuckers.

You can hear a pin drop!
Posted by rwbill on 04/14/08 at 07:42 PM ET
Wings would be wise to step on Bubba’s neck now. They sure seem to be awfully tight—even tighter than the Wings.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/14/08 at 07:46 PM ET
Oh look, Tootsie is interviewing Tootsie.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/14/08 at 07:47 PM ET
“our dumps gotta be key”
HAHAHAHAHA
Isn’t that how they play?....
Posted by eyesris from Chestertown, MD on 04/14/08 at 07:47 PM ET
lmao MFers. Man Detroit is just shutting them down ala Finals in 98. few opportunities for NSV, Wings sticks everywhere.
Posted by rwbill on 04/14/08 at 07:47 PM ET
Both teams seem scared shitless to make a turnover, or any other type of Fuc* up. Tight Tight Tight
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/14/08 at 07:48 PM ET
So today in class I was asked, “Nashville has a Hockey team?”
My response “Yea Bubba has a Hockey team”
Hilarity insued.
Posted by solo16 on 04/14/08 at 07:49 PM ET
HOOLEE CRAP what a hit!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/14/08 at 07:49 PM ET
Yep. Elbow to head because he ducked. Let the conversation begin in the South.

Kronwall is having the game of his frigging life.

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
