A muddy track deepinthehearta. Sloggy and slushy. Haze frigging gray and underway. As it should be.
Wings win tonite? Game, set, series. Wings lose? Start shoveling coal because we’ve got ourselves a Stress Train Special.
It’s a Game 3 Live Blog. Commence your conversations. The only mandate is juvenilicity. I’ll join you when they drop the puck.
Updated 1940 EST: Wanna guess who said this?
“We don’t think much of them on a personal, character level. We think that’s to our advantage.”
Yep. Turco.

Freaking Helm is a bottle rocket—even in crappy ice
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:34 PM ET
Oh come ON! Helm was on that. Bad call on icing now too.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 07:34 PM ET
For what its worth I have a ton of pets we can use. What do you think we’d get for a coupla ferrets?
Posted by WingBitch on 05/12/08 at 07:34 PM ET
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
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:35 PM ET
The ice is freakin’ horrendous. Worse than I thought.
This may take some getting used to.
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/12/08 at 07:36 PM ET
another BLATANT holding the stick let go, and Dallas scores. gotta love it.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Dammit. Bottom unit was way overmatched.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Long ass shift there. Modano was holding Lebda’s stick too.
Posted by Dave on 05/12/08 at 07:38 PM ET
bastards…
Posted by WingBitch on 05/12/08 at 07:38 PM ET
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.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/12/08 at 07:38 PM ET
Morrow held Lebda’s stick...only reason that pass went through...bull shit
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 07:38 PM ET
look at that guy just laying on lebda’s stick- what the *#$%@&?
Posted by scheisskopf on 05/12/08 at 07:38 PM ET
friggin Morrow, laying on Lebdas stick, he would have stopped that play.
Posted by aaron from phoenix, that makes me a transplant on 05/12/08 at 07:38 PM ET
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.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 07:38 PM ET
Keep skating—Stars are gonna run out of gas
SCORE!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:38 PM ET
Or they can just do that! 
WHooo hooo!!!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/12/08 at 07:39 PM ET
Woops. There goes that momentum. Bitches. Looks like a circus out there, eh Marty?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 07:39 PM ET
Nice, did that get called or are we gonna get robbed on review?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/12/08 at 07:39 PM ET
instant Karma baby!
Posted by aaron from phoenix, that makes me a transplant on 05/12/08 at 07:39 PM ET
Gotta love retaliation!
Posted by WingBitch on 05/12/08 at 07:39 PM ET
Stars work like hell to score
DET gets #1 on the ice and score in like 20 secs
Reminescent of NSH
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:39 PM ET
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...)
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 07:40 PM ET
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
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 07:41 PM ET
“We don’t think much of them on a personal, character level. We think that’s to our advantage.”
I’m just sayin’.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 07:41 PM ET
we do NOT like to get scored against.... way to go Pasha
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/12/08 at 07:41 PM ET
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
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:41 PM ET
Oh man, what a time for my stream to go down.
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 05/12/08 at 07:41 PM ET
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.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 07:41 PM ET
Karma baby… karma.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/12/08 at 07:41 PM ET
Pot one on the PP PLEASE!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:42 PM ET
How can they be so oblivious to all of the obvious penalties that Homer draws?
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 05/12/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Mule—where art thou on the #2 PP unit?

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
