Watch out below Dive Fans. Detroit residents and Wing fans are aware of the company, Superior Fish. Kind of a “tradition” around Hockeytown parts. Well, guess what SF’s shipped out the last few days, destination Denver?
Cases of octopus. Several cases of octopus.
Giddy up.

Um… how original. Maybe someday Detroit fans will get one of those whatchamacallits ... oh, yeah: a life.
Enjoy the semis, guys. Think the finals are gonna hurt. A lot.

Unfortunately, the smell of the typical RW fan entering the Can will probably mask the octopus smell sufficiently. And the typical RW fan girth will give them a chance at hiding even the largest octopi beneath their nacho stained jersey. This is a sad state of affairs.

Oh Jesus, here we go, a Dallas fan shows up early. Just make sure your boys take care of their own business, and we’ll make sure we do to Turco what we always do to him once we’re done with the Dive.

Here’s to hoping that Bob gets hit in the head with an octopus. CHEERS!!

Sadly I won’t be at the game. But here’s hoping that some transplanted Detroit fool spends his last unemployment check on a ticket to tonight’s game and an octopus, and never gets a chance to throw the damn thing because the Wings get slaughtered.

In Detroit we throw octopi to inspire the team.
In Colorado, they throw Paris Hilton at their goaltender.
You tell me which smells worse....
Suck it haters.

Mother gets her sponge baths on Tuesday nights, huh Boob?

Um… how original.
actually, it’s extremely original. it has been a Detroit tradition, originating in Detroit, for decades. if there’s anything more original than that, I’d like to know what it is.
wtf, I just got a text from Yahoo saying the game is 1-0 Detroit with 5:28 left in the first period. Did they start early?
Yahoo appears confused.

Enjoy the semis, guys. Think the finals are gonna hurt.
you do know that if Dallas and Detroit play, it’s in the semis, right?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 04/29/08 at 06:42 PM ET
Wow, ignorant comments by multiple haters already!
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 04/29/08 at 06:45 PM ET
Just goes to show you how sharp Dallas fan are, eh, Paul?
Posted by Chris from Columbia, Tennessee on 04/29/08 at 06:46 PM ET
“sharp Dallas fan are”
Classic. (not that I like Dallas fans either)
Posted by Bob from Boulder on 04/29/08 at 06:49 PM ET
I believe the Stool fan was referring to the conference semis, gents.
Sometimes you “accidentally forget” to bring the sponge, don’t you Boob?
Does Mummy enjoy her foamy, Boob?
Posted by O-Joe on 04/29/08 at 07:03 PM ET
I believe the troll is saying Western Conference Final. Cause, you know, they have forgotten what a Stanley Cup final is. Or maybe he was saying we’ll lose in the Stanley Cup final. How nice of you.
Yahoo appears confused
No, there just trying to jock my prognosticationary powers.
because the Wings get slaughtered.
Seriously? Are you delusional? When was the last time the Wings got “slaughtered”?
Talk shit tomorrow Bob; Joe and Shane had some sportsmanship in them and came by after.
MMM mmm mm… I feel me some hatred. Thank your lovely wife chief (see previous posts if you misunderstand that comment)

O-Joe, I knew what he meant by “semis” but my previous entry still applies.
Posted by Chris from Columbia, Tennessee on 04/29/08 at 07:09 PM ET
You can just forget about this series. I think it’ll be a huge accomplishment if the Avs don’t get swept. This is Nuggets-Lakers, the hockey version.

Our lives are the Red Wings!!! Oh. Forgot you hsve no hockey tradition. It must really suck for you since you spend your free time on A2y with envey ozzing out of your pores.

I know. it just shows that he considers the Conference Finals the “final”. not at all how Red Wings fans think, and that’s the point.

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:

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.' ”

I wonder if there’s any way that the MANY transplants that will be in attendance tonight could possibly throw enough octopi on the ice at The Can to get a delay of game penalty called on the Dive. I’d laugh my ass off.
