I am so proud of my former home to boo that scumbag Kwami. He makes me cringe when having to explain him to outsiders. God bless the Red Wings for restoring my pride in my beloved city where I was born.

I’ve had so many over the last few days, I think I need to dry out for a bit.

Did Hasek and Osgood periodically dive out of their vehicles to give the parade more realism?
Posted by rwHater on 06/06/08 at 12:29 PM ET
They should have tiered the podium so you see the players better.

How drunk was D-Mac?
Posted by rwHater on 06/06/08 at 12:35 PM ET
I’m glad some of the players are speaking that’s awesome.

I’m just bursting with happiness right now for these guys. I’m such a proud fan.

Well crap now I gotta go back to work. Then again there’s an ozone alert in Richmond so maybe I should do my part and not drive.

Sorry for the last one.....playing with foto uploads…
Yeah, Hudler is a shy one
Great show, Great season.

curved stem on that glass?

It is nice for the folks at the parade. At least for just one day, they can sort of forget that they still live in Detroit.

How much Summers Eve has rwHater had to drink?
I think he needs to be cut off.

Yup. That’s my secret weapon from this season. Winged Wheel etched in the side and it says “Red Wings Rule” on the base. My wife hand decorated it.
If I can ever figure out these foto uploads....

No one watches hockey anymore.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 06/06/08 at 12:58 PM ET
Alright, great show...but I didn’t see Dallas Drake anywhere. Did I just miss him?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 06/06/08 at 01:06 PM ET
A parade live blog? Are you kidding me? You guys rock.
Just got back from an interview, the HR guy who interviewed me was from Pittsburgh. We spent about 15 minutes just talking about hockey. I think the interview went well.

One last view, I cannot help it, I am obsessed.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 06/06/08 at 01:15 PM ET
Drake was in the parade, they interviewed him in his car. trying to remember if they introduced him on stage, i think so.

A parade live blog… well of course.

Well, good luck cephalopod. Hopefully, his Pitts-ness won’t affect your chances.

D-Mac was interviewed on the FOX link...good stuff. Had his son with him. What a story.
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 06/06/08 at 01:22 PM ET
They introduced everyone on stage, but Drake didn’t choose to speak.
Great rally at the Plaza. I wish I could’ve gone, but streaming it from work wasn’t too bad! God love the interwebs.
Definitely the best parade/celebration of the four recent Cups. As great as those other teams were, I get the feeling that this group might be the closest group of them all. They really seem like they’re enjoying their time, not just with the fans, but together, with each other and the coaches and management.
And that all starts at the top. The Ilitches have created a family environment and it really appears as if all these guys are great pals, good people, and that makes it that much more awesome to witness this.
They way the players spoke at the rally was fantastic, and as a fan that watched 103 freakin’ games (thanks, Comcast, for keeping me from watching all 104), you really find yourself embarassingly tied up and emotionally invested in the team. Obviously it’s nothing like what they are feeling, but like I said, after investing all that time into fandom, it feels amazing to see this. I’ll never know any of those guys personally, but even so, I just can’t help but feel great for them and feel thankful for them working hard to give us some entertainment that helps take us away from our daily grinds and frustrations.
It’d be interesting to hear what some of the beat writers have to say about that. The Highlander wrote something to that effect earlier in the year on his blog.

I hate to break it to you, RWBill, but I saw her in person one time years ago and her nose looks like she’s had nearly as much work done as Michael Jackson.

No doubt. She’s so full of botulism that Saddam Hussein would be jealous from the grave.

Just got back from the parade. We were on the corner of 75 and Woodward, right where the parade began. Got some pretty good pictures… and some pretty bad ones. I was behind a big crowd, so I had to take all of them with the camera well above my head… However, a few of them turned out great.
Fantastic one of Babcock, good ones of Downey, some great ones of Zetterberg, a great one of Lids/The Cup, a couple good ones of Homer, a nice one of Ericsson/Home Keys… the side of Yzerman’s head…
I missed some of the players, though, because the shot just didn’t come out.
Once I get them onto the computer (I’m on vacation, so it’s not my computer!), I’ll email them to anybody who wants to see them.

You could always upload them to flickr.com so we can all view them.

Wow, you said exactly how I feel. It’s hard to explain that to other people. They just don’t understand it.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 06/06/08 at 02:22 PM ET
My favorite part of the on-stage festivities was Nick saying, “Some of the players asked me to come up and translate what Homer just said.” Nice!
And Happy was, well, maybe a little too happy. He looked like a 5’7” Arnold Schwarzenegger with a mini-goatee. As Ken Daniels said, he’s come a long way since the beginning of the season. I think next season may be a true break-out season for him.
Anyway, now we just have to wait three weeks for the draft and free agency fun to start.

I watched the Fox 4 coverage and it was like taking a long, warm, soothing bath while sipping a cocktail. I haven’t been so happy in a long time.

He looks like the Pope. Great job!

Yep. My fiance never really understood why I felt this way about the Wings. In fact, she was pretty annoyed whenever I’d turn into a social retard for a few hours (days) after they lost.
But after she saw how happy I was when that clock hit, in Z’s words, “zero-zero-zero”, I think she appreciated the passion, even if she didn’t get it.

He is the Pope.
We should make him a fancy Red Wings Pope hat out of paper mache.

A live parade blog complete with an obligatory troll no less.
Should we take attracting trolls to thins event as another compliment????
Posted by MOWingsfan19 on 06/06/08 at 03:30 PM ET
Who was the obligatory troll?
I heard that Draper’s vehicle was rear ended by Maltby’s. More realism added to the parade.

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
