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.

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.

A little chippy at the end of the period.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:48 PM ET
so Morrow comes in and throws an elbow...no call. Maltby throws a clean check...and it’s a penalty.
holy inconsistent officiating Batman!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 07:49 PM ET
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.
Posted by WingBitch on 05/12/08 at 07:50 PM ET
Chief—everything is bigger in Texas ,, asses maybe—but generally girls lungs are bigger too;
just saying

How do they not notice Morrow holding Lebda’s stick? did you guys see that?
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 07:53 PM ET
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

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…

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.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 07:54 PM ET
How do they not notice Morrow holding Lebda’s stick?
It never happened. Move along.
Nothing here...oh look a goal!!!
Posted by Rumbear from the den.... on 05/12/08 at 07:54 PM ET
Wingbitch: You’d be shocked at how quickly I recovered from that misstep.
Okie: confirmed.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 07:54 PM ET
Turco allow 2 goals on 7 shots—mmmm math says like 0.72 save %
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:55 PM ET
Wings have got to take care of business and end this series quick.
Posted by Dave on 05/12/08 at 07:56 PM ET
Hysterical video tpic! Performance like that, he oughta be playing soccer.
Posted by WingBitch on 05/12/08 at 07:57 PM ET
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.
Posted by moocat on 05/12/08 at 07:57 PM ET
Then again, McKenzie took Roy for the next Dive coach...maybe they’re just idiots.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 07:57 PM ET
Am i the only one to see Homer go off early? Malts took his last shift in the 1st.....
Posted by MOWingsFan19 from KC MO on 05/12/08 at 07:58 PM ET
I love lungs, my sometimes second favorite tissue.
Know what sport I like: Motorboating.
just sayin
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 07:58 PM ET
I know, lets get a shorty on the Stars PP—that’ll end this series!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:59 PM ET
I noticed him on the bench the last two minutes Mo. Did he head to the room early?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 07:59 PM ET
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…
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/12/08 at 07:59 PM ET
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.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 07:59 PM ET
MO, I hope you’re seeing things....I didn’t notice that.
Maybe just a precautionary, get some ice quicker, type of thing?
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 08:00 PM ET
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.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/12/08 at 08:01 PM ET
I’m on the East side but don’t get TSN. CBC since I was a kid though!
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 08:01 PM ET
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
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 08:02 PM ET
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.
Posted by Clark on 05/12/08 at 08:02 PM ET
Osrt - Considering the slashes he took it wouldn’t surprise me if that’s exactly what happened.
Posted by moocat on 05/12/08 at 08:02 PM ET
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.

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…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 08:04 PM ET
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.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/12/08 at 08:04 PM ET
ORST, there is no quickening the slush they mistake for ice in Texass.
Let’s hope Homers good to go.

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

Similar to the Grier collision a while back.

Morrow whifs on the WIDE OPEN NET
love the DAL ice
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 08:07 PM ET
Holy Christ. That miss was Tikkanen like.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 08:07 PM ET
puck bouncing, players tripping...and this is FRESH ice!

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
