Updated 2002: We’ll stop the contest submissions after the first period.
Updated 2001: Well, this ought to make for an entertaining liveblog. The idiot sisters, Weber and Crisp. Outstanding.
Oh, the Gay will be rockin’ tonite. Late word out of Nashville is that there will be a total of six separate families in attendance, all making up the anticipated 13,000 Bubba fans.
Us? Well, we’re gonna Live Blog. And here’s why you should partake. Whoever comes closest to guessing the shot total (both teams) wins a $25 gift certificate to Ice Jerseys. Tie breaker? Number of total minor penalties. Additional tie breaker? Total number of teeth in the stands.
K? Live blog can start at any time, although I have to go replenish. I’ll be back at 1955. One entry per person, etc, etc.

Nah. Buy a Wing jersey and get yourself a Luongo tattoo. That’s what AlanaH would do.
Night all. By the way, in an earlier post today I said the Wings had 13 games left against the Division That Gary Built. I was--shockingly--wrong. After tonite, it’s 20 games left against the Central.

Well, with a little luck, and some stellar goaltending, the Wings dodged a bullet that probably should’ve hit them.
I’ll take it, it counts the same in the standings.

Sounds like a breath-taking finish.
Brain lapse on the video and Pav’s teammate. It could be no one else but the Rafalski look-alike with brown eyes.
Ok, I have a serious question though, because I haven’t had a chance to see the highlights:
Did they really give us a go or did we just not execute? In other words, why exactly wasn’t this the stomp down it should have been.

Oh, they made a game out of it, for sure.
That win belongs to Ozzie.

Rested team waiting at home for an opponent that had a tough game the night before and then a trip in.
Results were pretty obvious - Wings did fine in the first period, and as the game went on they started to run out of energy and were pooped out by the third period. In a game like that, usually if the tired visitor wins they score early and hang on for dear life, and that’s what happened.

Where would she put it? Chick’s got more ink on her than USA Today ferchrissakes.
Is that because of the Vancouver weed or is she preparing to change alliegence to the Preds? Stay tuned.

What are they smoking in the broadcasting booth?

Oh, NOW who’s making drug references? Innocent and virtuous my arse.
My nerves are thanking NASN for not showing that game. That and the last time they showed a game from FSN South, I ended up wanting to maim the next Southerner who tried to sell me a pizza. There’s in-game commentary, and then there’s blatant whorish advertising. Unfortunately the Nashvegas commentators don’t seem to get the difference.

Gawd, that never works. Second quote was supposed to be about the Vancouver weed.

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

WHOO-HOO!! Boy ,there is a nice Luongo sweater on the front page of the Ice Jersey site. Maybe I can get one, and practice hiding from the media in the training room.
