Been receiving a lot of emails from readers in St. Louis wondering where they can view the parade in Detroit today. Here you go, courtesy of Slap Shots.
WJBK - Channel 2 (Fox) - coverage starts 11 AM.
WDIV - Channel 4 (NBC) - coverage starts 9 AM
WXYZ - Channel 7 (ABC) - coverage starts 10 AM.
FSN Detroit - coverage starts 9 AM.

By coincidence, my daughter needs to be picked up from HS after her exam at 1115 a.m. I will just have to leave work and head home to stream the parade coverage. Long lunch, very long lunch, in fact I may not go back to work after, we’ll see.
Can’t abuse the internet at work, like now, so I maintain a $9/month dial up account with Netscape and plug my computer into my desk phone. This way checking The 19 doesn’t show up on my work internet usage, but it’s very slow and won’t support streaming.
Go Wings. I’m very happy for everybody.

Just when I think I’m going to MAYBE get something done at the day job....
Here I am glued to the freaking Wings again.
Ok, I’ll grow up on Monday… or not.
RWBill, sucks to have big brother looking atcha like that!

Pharazon, I live just up the street from where they’re playing the US Open...I was thinking of hiring a couple of people to stand on either side of the entrance road with a “Red Wings 2008 Stanley Cup Champions” sign on one side of the road, and “Suck it, Tiger” on the other.

Tell that to the record crowd of 12,722 people that showed up last night for the ECHL finals in Cincinnati. I couldn’t believe my eyes. It was incredible.

Nice to see Stevie feel enough of a part of the organ-I-zation to participate....

Yeah, I’ve given up. Today is going to be a waste too. I’ll start focusing on Monday.

GORDIE.

Suggestion for the next parade after seeing the trolley of people go by: An A2Y Hasek stress train float. Maybe we can actually get Hasek to drive it…
Posted by Hap from Grand Rapids, MI on 06/06/08 at 10:52 AM ET
RWBill,
One more reason I chose to be employed by a very small company. Freedom to use my time as I see “fit”. Tee frigging hee.
Then again 24/7 availibility kind of well SUCKS, but I get alot of “flex time” I don’t use....
Then again we have a beer fridge at work too!?!?!

Rafi, LMAO
“How does this compare to the celebrations in New Jersey?”

Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 06/06/08 at 11:23 AM ET
Just saying she was on for a minute or 2 talking to the channel 4 hosts....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 06/06/08 at 11:23 AM ET
The XYZ coverage is HORRIBLE. Who are those dips with the sports reporter? They are clueless and extemporaneous speaking is not a strength. Dear God. Wish I could get any of the other streams to work. Yay for YouTube.
Posted by Margot from Atlanta on 06/06/08 at 11:24 AM ET
Just finished writing a paper for work (always getting in the way of what is reallyimportant), catching the parade now!
SWEET!!

That’s why I’m watching ch 2 fox. Ken Daniels, better Red Wings talk for sure.

Understandable Babblespeak? What gives?

Missed her, just as well, on the computer she would have looked a little grainy, just like in my dreams.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 06/06/08 at 11:36 AM ET
Homer just said SHIT on live tv talking about Cheli & Dom and how the feel in the morning sometimes.... TEE HEE
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 06/06/08 at 11:39 AM ET
Chelios- “Absolutely I have every intention of coming back”
Hmm. We need to develop those 6,7,8 defensemen. Cheli would be a steadying force during a long season. Meech, Ericcson, Quincey need time too.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 06/06/08 at 11:39 AM ET
Nik looks like a porn star with those damn glasses on.....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 06/06/08 at 11:58 AM ET
Chief,
I have the parade live streaming here in the office. Probably interfere with the law clerks surfing the Swedish porn sites, but hey, I pay the bills.
Thanks for the links and yet one more day of non-revenue fun!
What a season.........a whole lotta trophies up there on the dais right now.
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 06/06/08 at 11:58 AM ET
Looks funny seeing the guys touch some of them too....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 06/06/08 at 12:03 PM ET
Show to your DiveALanche neighbors why Detroit is still Hockeytown. Check out that hardware.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 06/06/08 at 12:05 PM ET
Streaming the party at Hart Plaza here at work too! Freaking awesome.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 06/06/08 at 12:05 PM ET
Oz said it best about still being Hockeytown. It has nothing to do with ticket gate receipts or empty seats....
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 06/06/08 at 12:07 PM ET
Beers in hand.... Epic.

BILL, Are you ready?
Here she goes.
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 06/06/08 at 12:19 PM ET
Karen! Karen! Karen!
Careful RW!!!
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 06/06/08 at 12:20 PM ET
Karen Newman too—delicious icing on a sweet day!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 06/06/08 at 12:20 PM ET
Seeing her show a little cleavage makes me have to share my SCPO winning secret…
Motorboating my wifes cleavage before every game during the finals, except game 5… she wasn’t home when the game started!

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

Awesome! Thanks for posting those links. Btw, our Cincinnati Cyclones clinched their Cup Championship last night too! Two championships in less than 24 hours for me. I’m so exhausted but I’ve never felt better.
