I noted on the KK Hockey page that Turco seems intent on providing the Wings some bulletin board material, and it’s hard to say whether or not he’s looking to get his bell rung, or embarassed by an offensive display.

It’s sad, really. I never used to have negative feelings towards Turco and the Stars in general, but my how things change…

does anyone have an online link for the game besides channelsurfing.com and hockeywebcasts.com?

Homer’s still inside Turkey’s head.  Scrambling his brains.

Online right here.

Turco never struck me as an immensely stupid person.  But talk like that is just crack-laden babble. Wings win tonite and you’ll be seeing that quote again.  It will become an A2Y hallmark.

thanks nate

http://myp2p.eu click live sports and ice hockey.

Lehtinen a no-show for the pre-game skate.

Ronnie Wilson fired.  Guess he’ll be taking those morale-building trips up to the mountains by himself.

I see Dub over there; I was trying to post but it wouldn’t let me. They must have Wing fan detectors on or something. Bitches…

You can also pull in the VS feed by opening the following URL in Media Player; it’s the best streaming quality that I’ve found.

Hola WingNuts!

No Lehtinen—darn

Yeah. What a shame Okie.  Tornado-like weather in DC today.  I hid under my desk all afternoon.

Damn...I have to watch VS tonight. CBC isn’t carrying it...grrr..

“why didn’t the stars win last game?”

--> because the wings shut them down you tool..

Did ya know DAL is 2 - 4 at home, and have lost 4 of the last 5?

Just saying

Yeah, Osrt. But listen to the VS tools, and Melrose a few minutes before on ESPN News.  “The Stars played much better.” Really, other than the obvious? Prove it.  They got out hit by a wider margin. Lost more faceoffs. The shot differential was greater.

Quit bitching OSRT—I’m always stuck with the VS.  At least Emerick is tolerable, and Jones is okay—but thats it

Hey, good advice from the Vs. commentators!  “It doesn’t matter what they do, it only matters what we do?  Then stop trying to play like the Detroit Red Wings!”

And proceed to get hopelessly outclassed.

“why didn’t the stars win last game?”

I heard that Osrt...the stars played a “terrific game” why did’nt they win??....jeez the love fest begins early!

thanks for the links guys...good work!

Really Okie? Melrose said they’ve played “very well at home.” He must have access to super-secret Thhhhom-like stats that you and I aren’t privy too.  You’re damn right I said privy.  I’ll say it again...privy.  I have no problem saying privy, because that’s how I roll motherfuckers.

“why didn’t the stars win last game?”

Because the Star scored once, and the Wings scored twice.

I hate all things Versus…

OSRT—thanks for the Post at the Forum, I notice lots of hits there, but nobody usually leaves any comments, I appreciate it—really.

I think Pavs is due to crawl back inside Marty’s head.  Datsyukian dekes are in order tonight.

motherfuckers

oh daing...what are you doing dad?

Tornado—must be a good omen for the Wings—a howling wind sweeping into town!!!

Yes, Stars fans...your team’s name is the ‘Stars.’ Glad you know the national anthem.

Right on Jeff! I’m sure I’m just voicing a lot of people’s appreciation.

I’m out of the box Osrt.  Plus the censors missed it.

DAMNIT CHIEF!!!  Are ya trying to put the kibosh on the Wings mojo!!

Sailor get it together!!

Post Aurie!!

Datsyukian dekes are in order tonight.

Indeed. didn’t he make that move in their arena?? ok.. talk to you guys in a bit

let’s get an early jump before the ice turns to slush.  thank goodness I am spared the Versus treatment as I am watching TSN right now.

WOW OZZIE—feeling the early heat and standing freaking tall!!!

Ozzie already making the big saves…

and now a cross bar --- eek

DAMNIT CHIEF!!!  Are ya trying to put the kibosh on the Wings mojo!!

Sailor get it together!!

Post Aurie!!

Just waiting on some direction Okie. See above.

Gads, I forget how fast Cleary is until he does stuff like that.  Getting in Turckey’s face early.

Big PK there.

Survived the 1st good opportunity for DAL to gather some momentum

GOOD freaking Kill!!!

Not real fond of the playoffs right about now.

Yeah, I am LOVIN’ Ozzie right now!  Is it me or do the Starz seem a little testier tonight?  Think its home ice or the Robiero/Osgood thing?

I wish Doc would Shut Up and call the game.

Good on ya Chief!!!

Perhaps the Hockey Gods took note, as we survived the DAL PP ringing one of the crossbar

Helm- what a skater!

The Wings are cheatin’ at them faceoffs!!11!111

Stuie clearing the crease!!!

Sloppy boys. Gain control.

everything’s fine… fine…

namu myoho renge kyo

Nor I, Chief, but I think it may be a case of weather the early storm and then open up on them…

Ok. I’m calling it. I’ll sacrifice one pet for the first goal.

I agree Andrew—I’m thinking DAL is playing on emotion—I really think they have little or no gas in the tank.

Roll 4 lines, and survive until the last 1/2 of the game

Unlike Terry the Wings do not look Crisp.

Withstanding the first 10 minutes...absorb the force then snap back.

hey, the Wings player didn’t get his stick down on the faceoff.  Dallas is cheating!

Drake’s hurting

Someone get Drake an oxygen mask...he’s looking gassed.

Datsyk is freaking amazing.  How he controls the puck through all that I will never know.  And he draws a penalty for his hard work!  Awesome.

Drake hurt his knee in the last game… So I think he’s still feeling it.

Wings to the PP after Ozzie make another huge save!!

Time to shut down the crowd.

Welcome to Dats’ world bitches…

btw..damnnnnanananna

fack

Oompa Loompa with the hook—damn even up

Hudler played the puck.  what a load of home-team-officiating crap.

Wings need to get their act together soon. They’re looking a little sloppy right now.

what a bullshit call…

What a BS call.

Versus has no idea what the penalty was..and teh freaking camera man has no diea where the puck is...great combo

WEAK call on Hudler!

Don’t make me hate the officials again tonight.

Dallas player had a handful of Oompa jersey but they call Happy for the hook....please

That wasn’t the penalty...he pulled down Morrow or whoever was heading toward our D.. it was a real penalty

GOAL!

WHOOOO HOOOO!!!!

Pavel!

DATS!!

WELCOME TO THE DEN!!!

yeah baby!  they made the second odd man rush count!

One pet down.  And Datsyuk is frigging amazing.

Pavs says hi Marty.

HELL YEAH!  Guess you don’t have to sacrifice your pet.

DATS!

That’s called “making the most of your chances,” Stars.  You paying attention?

Does anybody notice that Z is missing a tooth?

Gotta love Draper. After all these years, he’s still got some wheels.

I love it when the Stars help the Wings get in Turco’s head by pushing Wings into him.

Freaking server—can’t comment

Better late than never

DATS!!!!

Drake should get double credit for that faceoff win as a winger and without his stick.

So what is it IwoCPO?  Cat or dog?  I need to know which so I can get mine lined up.

Hoodlum and Helm have some chemistry.  I think there’s a good shot they get something going tonight.

That last play was hot.  Nice handling. Mmmmm…

Anyone else notice that the Wings are winning a good portion of the loose puck battles

so now yanking a guy’s stick out of his hands at center ice isn’t a penalty?  hmmmm....

And the Datsyuk makes a great kick-pass too.

Ozzie looking sharp and alert.  I’m thinking he wants to go 3-0 as bad as anyone on the team.

Couldn’t get the Versus feed going. Good thing there’s a TSN feed at

http://www.justin.tv/richsports

Hello? Z is missing a freakin tooth...anyone know how that happened?

Chief, I just noticed my parakeet has a nasty cough… I’m just sayin’

Definitely the cat lilja. That little bastard’s had it coming.  Sailor? The dog?  It’s going to take a lot for me to give up that lazy fat bastard.

Hoodlum and Helm have some chemistry.  I think there’s a good shot they get something going tonight.

I’d have to agree. If nothing else, Helm’s insane speed draws all eyes to him while Huds can sneak into the opposite circle for a one-timer or rebound.

Hello? Z is missing a freakin tooth...anyone know how that happened?

Osrt, I noticed that too. But i have no idea how.

Two-on-two.  I’m not familiar with that variety of odd-man rush, commentators.

Every. Loose. Puck.

If the Hudler-Helm-Mac line gets it going tonight, can we call them the Happy Double-D line?

damn Helm can skate!

Helm won that....asses

Helluva shift by the Oompa Loompa there!

Freaking Helm is a bottle rocket—even in crappy ice

Oh come ON!  Helm was on that.  Bad call on icing now too.

For what its worth I have a ton of pets we can use.  What do you think we’d get for a coupla ferrets?

Helm made a great play...Mac messed up.

Smart call Babs

Oh. Interesting. Uncle Mike using the timeout with 6 left in the first.

Ferrets will do wingbitch.

Uncle Mike taking the T/O—good call

every.loose.puck

we just need to clear them when we have the puck on the stick—damnit

The ice is freakin’ horrendous.  Worse than I thought.

This may take some getting used to.

another BLATANT holding the stick let go, and Dallas scores.  gotta love it.

Oh freaking bejeezers

Dammit.  Bottom unit was way overmatched.

Auugh. That was awful.

Long ass shift there.  Modano was holding Lebda’s stick too.

bastards…

Saw that coming, tho didn’t expect it to take that long. That broken line combo didn’t have a clue how to cover the zone.

Morrow held Lebda’s stick...only reason that pass went through...bull shit

look at that guy just laying on lebda’s stick- what the *#$%@&?

What a joke...Holding laying the stick..no call

friggin Morrow, laying on Lebdas stick, he would have stopped that play.

Ugh. The last few minutes, the Stars played like there was no tomorrow. The Wings need to start playing that way… but smarter.

Go or no goal. Great shift from Chelios.

that oughta quiet the crowd down!

Keep skating—Stars are gonna run out of gas

SCORE!!!!

2-1 b!tches!

Dat’s hattrick coming…

SUCK IT BITCHES

Or they can just do that! WHooo hooo!!!

Woops. There goes that momentum. Bitches.  Looks like a circus out there, eh Marty?

Nice, did that get called or are we gonna get robbed on review?

instant Karma baby!

Dats! WooT!

Eat that Marty.  Pavs again.

Gotta love retaliation!

Stars work like hell to score

DET gets #1 on the ice and score in like 20 secs

Reminescent of NSH

HAH!  DATS AGAIN!

Tit for tat, Stars.  Methinks you’re doing what we did in the first round.

(You like that, Marty?  Two from Datsyuk and the first ain’t over yet...)

Bury these guys.  Score here and they fall apart.

Great shift from Chelios.

Agreed.

Turco is seeing flash backs right now… tonight he’s going to help prove that Dats is a Playoff Stud

“We don’t think much of them on a personal, character level. We think that’s to our advantage.”

I’m just sayin’.

we do NOT like to get scored against.... way to go Pasha

That’ll suck the life right outta the Stars

If we can pot the next goal—this could get really ugly

and be a short freaking series

Oh man, what a time for my stream to go down.

so if you’re Turco, and Datsyuk is in alone, what do you do?  go for the fake?  expect the fake and let Datsyuk go the other way?  all Datsyuk would have to do is blink and Turco would wet himself.

Karma baby… karma.

Pot one on the PP PLEASE!!!!

4 chops...beautiful…

How can they be so oblivious to all of the obvious penalties that Homer draws?

Mule—where art thou on the #2 PP unit?

At least we know Little Douche can count to four.

Nice chance by Cleary there—at least the #2 unit showing some life

Jesus.  See the trailers on the Stars girls?  Everything’s bigger in Texas. Especially the asses.  Ooops. My wife just reminded me she’s from texas. Dammit.

Woops. Ribeiro. Eat it.  Bitch.

A little chippy at the end of the period.

Maltby smash!

so Morrow comes in and throws an elbow...no call.  Maltby throws a clean check...and it’s a penalty.

holy inconsistent officiating Batman!

Well, early storm weathered.  If it weren’t for some bad icing and a bad icing call, it’d be 2-0.  Stars start the second with a full two-minute PP, though.  Thanks Gary.  Ass.

Me too Chief, though I hate to admit it.  But my ass is ok.  Hope you aren’t sleeping on the couch tonight.

Chief—everything is bigger in Texas ,, asses maybe—but generally girls lungs are bigger too;

just saying

SCORING SUMMARY 1st Period

09:27 Pavel Datsyuk, Backhand - Assists:  Henrik Zetterberg and Brian Rafalski

15:13 Nicklas Grossman, Wrist Shot - Assists:  Mike Modano and Brenden Morrow

15:50 Pavel Datsyuk, Assists:  Tomas Holmstrom and Brian Rafalski

Umm...yeah..."lungs"...sure we’ll go with that.

Engblom—Stars best first period in this series—yeah and they are still losing!!!!

How do they not notice Morrow holding Lebda’s stick? did you guys see that?

Morrow should get the primary assist on that goal, since he was the one who decided to take a nap on Lebda’s stick while the goal was scored.

SHOTS ON GOAL
1st T
Detroit 7 7
Dallas 7 7

Here’s something for between periods viewing pleasure for all the Stars fans lurking here...just cuz I know a stand up guy like Ribeiro would never dive…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNw8ZZT8tOU

Dios mio!  Has Pavs been taking English lessons again?!?

I swear, it improves every time I hear him, but that was GREAT.  His English really is good…

WTSN commentators taking Homer over Ciccarelli in the contest of crease-crashers...of course, Dino taught Homer a thing or two in his early days.

How do they not notice Morrow holding Lebda’s stick?

It never happened.  Move along.

Nothing here...oh look a goal!!!

Wingbitch: You’d be shocked at how quickly I recovered from that misstep. 

Okie: confirmed.

Turco allow 2 goals on 7 shots—mmmm math says like 0.72 save %

Dats on an interview? where?

Wings have got to take care of business and end this series quick.

Hysterical video tpic!  Performance like that, he oughta be playing soccer.

Every time they show the replay of Morrow holding and then laying on Lebda’s stick it chafes my arse.

Especially considering the pass went through an area that Lebda would have most likely moved to in coverage.

Then again, McKenzie took Roy for the next Dive coach...maybe they’re just idiots.

Am i the only one to see Homer go off early? Malts took his last shift in the 1st.....

I love lungs, my sometimes second favorite tissue.

Know what sport I like: Motorboating.

just sayin

I know, lets get a shorty on the Stars PP—that’ll end this series!!!

I noticed him on the bench the last two minutes Mo.  Did he head to the room early?

Dats was on TSN… they don’t provide much analysis for the games these days though, not much to say except Dallas has to find a way to overcome the Wings defence, and offence, and goalie, and…

Dats on an interview? where?

TSN coverage, Osrt.  NASN picked up their feed instead of Vs.  If you’re on the east side of MI and can pick it up from Canada, that short interview made it worth the inane babble.

MO, I hope you’re seeing things....I didn’t notice that.

Maybe just a precautionary, get some ice quicker, type of thing?

Here’s something for between periods viewing pleasure for all the Stars fans lurking here…

Assuming Stars fans can read - and operate a computer… Just sayin’.

tpic - that video was AWESOME.

I’m on the East side but don’t get TSN. CBC since I was a kid though!

Lucky bastards—im stuck with VS.

I’d listen to the Ken Kal on the radio feed online, but it is way out of sync with the HD

At least the Video is awesome

How can they be so oblivious to all of the obvious penalties that Homer draws?

Homer doesn’t draw penalties.  Little known subrule is that you can do whatever you want to Swedes, they don’t count.

Osrt - Considering the slashes he took it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s exactly what happened.

Iwo he took the last face off on the left wing and didn’t see anything happen per say but he was slower than usual on the way to the bench and Malts doesn’t EVER roll over the boards with D n Z. Ya know?
And then Malts makes a run on Norstrom.... hence the PP for Dallas.
Gotta run geta beer and back to the tube.

G

and operate a computer… Just sayin’

Lilja4ever, I HAVE noticed that as we’re tearing into the Stars, the ones leaping to their defense are...Dive fans.  Not a Stars fan to be seen.

Morrow should get the primary assist on that goal

Scheisskopf, Pang just said the same thing on TSN, as they showed the replay.  Blind refs…

I freaking HATE VS. It’s painful to listen to those guys call a game. When I watched NHL Live earlier today they were talking to Dave Strader and they said he was calling the game tonight. Is he on TSN? Because at least Dave does a great job of coming across relatively unbiased.

ORST, there is no quickening the slush they mistake for ice in Texass.
Let’s hope Homers good to go.

G

Tollowing tpic‘s lead, here’s a little bit of Pavel magic from last nite.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IPR1kuvv94

Similar to the Grier collision a while back.

I liked Strader when he announced for Detroit.

er...I still like Strader’s announcing.

Morrow whifs on the WIDE OPEN NET

love the DAL ice

Holy Christ. That miss was Tikkanen like.

Good block, Lids

puck bouncing, players tripping...and this is FRESH ice!

Bad ice can work against ya too…

Nice pass from Ribeiro.  Crackhead.

Yeah, the ice is TERRIBLE.  I wanted to withold judgment, but this slush sucks.

Still, Morrow misses a wide open net.  Mojo.  I’m just sayin’.

Tollowing tpic‘s lead, here’s a little bit of Pavel magic from last nite.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5IPR1kuvv94

Similar to the Grier collision a while back.

how the hell did Datsyuk know that hit was coming?  must be those eyes in the back of his head.  I’ve noticed before, and now I think even more, that he looks at the reflections in the glass to see what’s happening behind him.

Thank the slush for the puck jumpimg over Morrows twig......

They called a hand pass...in the defensive zone.

A Penalty kill - is a kill, no matter how many shots, chances, WIDE OPEN cages!!!

EEKKK that was close

A Kill nonetheless

Lilja4ever, I HAVE noticed that as we’re tearing into the Stars, the ones leaping to their defense are...Dive fans.  Not a Stars fan to be seen.

Well, the Dives know old time hockey!  How could they not share their insight?

I’m on te look out for Homer…

Ah crap.

Cleary was out there…

DAMMIT.  Richards was due for something, but that was bad.

Gotta start playing in their end.  Neutral zone TO resulted in that goal.

Homer out now…

phew...he’s back…

Off Stuies leg—dratto

Homer was out there last shift.

damn....helm was a foot from the red line..

THAT was NOT icing...Get it right, you zebra-striped jackasses.

here is a working link at the moment

http://xssports.lhosting.info/

anyone else tired of all the senior fans bitching every time a Star hits the ice?

Uf anyone is having trouble with that first vid stream link like I was, here’s another.

http://xssports.lhosting.info/

WHEW. 96 is ok.
Sorry for the scare.

I know that brand of humor may be beneath most of you, but I frigging love the Sasquatch commercials.

namu myoho renge kyo

lots of time to get back in it and get the lead again

Ahoy, motherfu**ers!

Just jumped the train before it sped up on that shitass sloppy Richards goal.  Already got my drink, I’m buckled in...okay, let’s do this…

um.  Yeah.  NHL.  Not ultimate fighting.  k.

Dallas played “What should have been the Stanley Cup champs in Round 2?”

Come on, TSN guys, you’re not that stupid, are you?

I’m staying with the theory that DAL has no gas in the tank later in the game.

DET just needs to pot the next one

Stay strong Ozy

No, they just mistook The Ramones for AC/DC...they ARE that dumb.

Ozzie saving an odd-man rush.

I’m saying it now...BUCKETS IS DUE

cheli is the man.

Homer gets mugged like it’s ‘98.

When the Flying Circus is on the ice, DAL is petrified of them, they dont try to make a play out of their zone, just get the puck out

DET is getting some neutral zone t/o, may make us a chance before the night is done

Just get the next goal.

HAPPY!  makes me smile.

Oompa Loompa

I’m so frigging Happy.

HOOOOOOOOOOODDDDLLLEEEERRRR

Boom baby!

OOMPA LOOMPA!!!

OOMPA LOOMPA LOOPIDY-FREAKING-DOO!!!

what a pass to HUDLER!!  the life is sucked out of the building

Oompa Loompa bitches!  Eat that Marty!
