That one’s from “Almost Haikus for Victory,” which I was working on Monday night…

Nice Haiku Mudshark. My one and only attempt was pure garbage. I’m three deep and heading back for more. This is no night for a sober person.

Me: Does the cable work?
We’ll, you won’t be taking delivery of a Hummer anytime soon huh Chief. Sacrifices baby! That’s what the playoffs are all about.

Henrik Zetterberg,
You magnificent bastard!
Go get that damn Cup!
Posted by cephalopod from Chicago, on the poop deck, not over it yet on 06/04/08 at 06:18 PM ET
Exactly Osrt. No Hummer. No parking in the garage. No wax jobs. Nada.
And I’ll sacrifice it all for a mothefu**king Cup.
Which is, without question, how I roll.

normally I like my west coast time zone but on a day where I get hit with having to draft a reply brief and face-off is at 5pm and 34.7 and LA traffic and Game 6 and Stanley and Michelle and Cyndy AND 55 shots....

This link should work for the game. It has the rest of the playoffs.

Howdy.
Finally able to type again after the mutherfucking soul-crushing anguish of 5.
Buried with school crap, and I really think my Power Point skills will degrade proportional to my PBR consumption.
God help the other members of my presentation group.
Go ‘Wings.

mudshark and chief, you bastards. I have to ride out all of these games dry as a bone on the McCarty Wagon, furiously sucking down lung darts that only make me more nervous.
If ever I needed a stiff gin and tonic…
Posted by A II R from Los Angeles on 06/04/08 at 06:34 PM ET
Dub, you sick bastard. Are you in the garage tonite?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 06/04/08 at 06:34 PM ET
A2R, we should have invented the McCarty Wagon a long time ago. For all the teetotalers out there. It is hereby created.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 06/04/08 at 06:35 PM ET
PBR ?! Lucky you’re still alive.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 06/04/08 at 06:35 PM ET
yeah, that justin.tv link was what we used (as linked via channelsurfing.net) on saturday. worked like a charm and saved two dogs’ lives.
Posted by TulsaWingsFan on 06/04/08 at 06:36 PM ET
Both Cleary and Z said their calls were bs. Red Wings game day coverage is a lot more muted; they were practically guaranteeing a win last time.
Teams have just hit the ice…
No VS preview for me
Posted by Osrt on 06/04/08 at 06:37 PM ET
I’m stressing a little that the NBC shrivs here in DC may switch to weather porn too. That justintv thing. Does the game show up right off the hop on the main page?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 06/04/08 at 06:37 PM ET
Are you watching CBC Osrt? Consistent updates please, or I’ll tell everyone about you sitting in that hog’s lap during the second intermission of Game 1.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 06/04/08 at 06:38 PM ET
nice to see that NBC is so committed to putting on a good showing of the NHL that they do a pregame show starting at 730pm.
oh, wait, never mind…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 06/04/08 at 06:40 PM ET
haha good deal Chief. hopefully I will have some company on the McCarty Wagon!
Posted by A II R from Los Angeles on 06/04/08 at 06:40 PM ET
I’m ready to put my foot through my teevee.

I’ll be happy to even get to get the game, screw the pregame at this point. I even called our local NBC affiliate and bitched at the station manager for the hours of weather porn coverage. Let’s just say… I wasn’t able to be calm and rational.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 06/04/08 at 06:41 PM ET
Jenn, did they announce that weather porn would take precedence over the game? All night?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 06/04/08 at 06:42 PM ET

That’s my question too. Do I need to find the right channel to get the feed?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 06/04/08 at 06:42 PM ET
The only amusing thing I remember about Game 5 was when someone (i don’t remember who) told someone else (I don’t remember who) to: YOU JUST SHUT YOUR WHORE MOUTH!! I swear to god, memories of that are the only thing that kept me from climbing a bell tower yesterday.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 06/04/08 at 06:44 PM ET
Jesus. Live local weather porn program interruption on NBC.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 06/04/08 at 06:47 PM ET
No CBC pregame either. Channel 4 is bandwagoning and has Bernie + Mickey doing a preview.
Steve Gargiolla (sp?) etc...really really bad...lots of ragh ragh Detroit.
I’ll tell everyone about you sitting in that hog’s lap during the second intermission of Game 1
hah...needed to get wax job
Posted by Osrt on 06/04/08 at 06:48 PM ET
Hola to the “19” —pardon my elbows as I make my way to directly the club car—make way bitches!!
This is no night for the feint of heart!!

Jenn, did they announce that weather porn would take precedence over the game? All night?
We had bad weather here last night too. And they had the weather porn on for FOUR hours. So I called the station and asked them if they were going to do the same thing tonight and basically the station manager said that yes, they felt that it was necessary to do it as long as possible. And they don’t plan on showing the game on another channel, so I’m screwed until they decide they feel like showing the game.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 06/04/08 at 06:49 PM ET
Dont worry Paul, CBC doesnt have pregame either. Local 4 in Detroit does tho. They just talked to Doc who claims Detroit is an 8 or 9 out of 10 and Pit is 6 or 7. He called Detroit in 7 and is sticking to it.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 06/04/08 at 06:49 PM ET
Emrick said he called 7 games. Thinks the Pens will be nervous in the beginning and we won’t be.
According to him: Det = America’s Team, Pens = Team of the future.
barf
Posted by Osrt on 06/04/08 at 06:49 PM ET
go here: http://www.channelsurfing.net/
scroll down a bit, it’ll say 2008 NHL Stanley Cup Finals 8:00PM EST 6/4. click the link (there’s two - both should work) and it should open up a new window and start showing the live feed. doesn’t seem to be working at the moment, but i imagine that’s because it’s not 8 EST yet.
Posted by TulsaWingsFan on 06/04/08 at 06:50 PM ET
there are some amazing porn staches on the Chicago Wolves team. Quite impressive.
Posted by A II R from Los Angeles on 06/04/08 at 06:51 PM ET
the justinTV link should be straight to the game. not sure if it will broadcast any prgame stuff tho.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 06/04/08 at 06:51 PM ET
Out of 1089 Game 5 LB comments many of them were drilled into my sleepless night. My fave was something about breathing into a brown paper bag.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 06/04/08 at 06:51 PM ET
FYI: The Vegas money has PIT 110 to win a 100.
Very slight favs tonight—I’m sure that 10 is just cuz they playing the Igloo
Sheidan has DET 6/5
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 06/04/08 at 06:52 PM ET
Conversation I just had with one of my non-hockey loving friends
Me: Now I hop on the stress train
Friend: Why?
Me: The Wings game...duh
Friend: Oooh
Me: I am so nervous I am shaking
...then she went on to say that I need a intervention
Glad I have the 19 that understand

Jesus. Live local weather porn program interruption on NBC.
You have it to? I think our weather is heading right at you.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 06/04/08 at 06:52 PM ET
Heya Chief.
Yep, Bunkered up in the ghetto-fab garage with horrible Micro$oft products, dangerous amounts of PBR, fear, dread and a heaping pile of lack of preparation. Should go well tomorrow.
Oh, and RWBill?
PBR ?! Lucky you’re still alive.
YOU shut YOUR WHORE MOUTH!
I’ll pop in later, enjoy the carnage.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 06/04/08 at 06:53 PM ET
Chief breaking out the serious “in cases of dire emergency” mojo!!!
Good call Sailor!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 06/04/08 at 06:54 PM ET
I just realized that I’m actually rocking back and forth like a crazy person.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 06/04/08 at 06:54 PM ET
I keep thinking one of the goalies is due for a melt down, just have “one of those nights” when they miss everything (Roy Game 7). God I hope it’s what’s his name not Ozzie.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 06/04/08 at 06:54 PM ET
tornado sirens here. Family’s freaking out. I’m staying put.

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
