Responding To Chelios

You recall, I’m sure, Chris Chelios’ comments regarding Ottawa’s decision not to re-sign Hasek....
..."Whether Murray was frustrated or Ottawa was frustrated with him, I think personally it’s a stupid move to get rid of Dom because he was playing at the top of his game when he went out.”
Well, Bryan Murray has returned the favor.
Don Brennan/Ottawa Sun
“That’s Chris Chelios. Maybe he’ll be a GM or coach someday, then he will be able to make decisions that impact the future of an organization. There’s no secret. We know Dominik Hasek is a quality goaltender. But you know the reason we let him go.”
Read the rest of the article here. Pretty good stuff, actually. Brennan uses a device we don’t see too much amongst our DD’s...humor.

Yeah. Some of the best coverage comes from The Windsor Star and the Macomb Daily, let alone the Edmonton Sun.

My favorite:
DOWN LOW: A three-foot tall son of Tomas Holstrom’s accidentally collided with injured D Danny Markov around a corner of the Wings dressing room yesterday morning, and when Markov tried to hold him up, the kid responded by throwing a punch. When a surprised Markov went to grab him in a wrestle, the young lad spit at him and ran away.
haha. And did you see that face Hower made at Ken Daniels at the start of the game when Ken first used the Ken Kam? Hilarious. I wish I’d had a way to capture it.
oh, and good to find your blog again, A2Y

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:

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

"Just when it looks like we have bottomed out, the 19 hit a new low."

"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”

Is there a reason why I learn more about the RedWings by reading out of town papers? What a joke
