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.

Even if Osgood wins this game and every game to the Cup all the boneheads will say it’s because of the team in front of him. Let’s be honest… the guy is Hall of Fame potential. If he gets the Cup this year and gets 400 wins… he’s a lock. Unless of course Little Gary has anything to say about it.

let’s finish strong and put a choke hold on this puppy

Alright people, let’s shut it down. No OT here. I’ve got to be at work at 4AM.

Steve, agreed. Great period of hockey. But if Doc had said, “I itch. Edzo...powder, hurry,”, you’d be liking that too. Don’t fret. We feel the same about Mick.
You’re saying Edzo being reduced to powder boy wouldn’t make you happy?
I don’t care if Joe Beninati or even Gary Thorne were calling that period: That was incredible hockey to just watch. Though I can understand why a fan would be a little nervous about it.

LOL
VS announcer begging for Modano to return for the third period.

Anybody think those “The Cup Changes Everything” are a jinx? Ovechkin, Thorton, Brodeur, Iginla, Miller...all out already or didn’t even make it in. I think the only one left who’s done one of those commercials that’s still playing is Zetterberg. It’s creepy.

Put a Viking helmet on him.

We will “finish strong”
DAL can’t keep up with the Wings speed; even in the slush.
They are getting frustrated; combine that with the fact they HAVE TO SCORE, and expect a DAL parade to the penalty box.
Write that down, and shoot me if I’m wrong.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 08:53 PM ET
That was a pretty back-hander by Hudler and all, but I tell you, it used to piss me off royally when Sullivan and Little Paulie used to cherry-pick like that against the Wings.
That said...ha-ha, Mind-Srcew

Understatement Steve. This might be a little too much info for the meek, but I could swear I smell urine.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 08:55 PM ET
36 hits fro Dallas??! Is that for real?
Posted by Rumbear from the den.... on 05/12/08 at 08:55 PM ET
Nate, that pic is f*ckin’ funny! I’m dyin’ over here! “drunk chipmunk” indeed. I don’t say it lightly, because I love the man, but that is the worst pic I’ve seen of him.

Get Edzo. Quick.
Can we can him Powder Boy from now on? I like that nickname. If that’s not harsh enough, “bitch” can easily substitute for “boy”.

What’s creepy is that commercial is playing right now.

Damn...I was hoping nobody would notice.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/12/08 at 08:56 PM ET
Dude...that toolbag playing the guitar in the “touch of grey” commercials cracks me up every time. I’m not sure why. It’s so weird.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 08:57 PM ET
How long before Ott takes a stupid penalty?
Posted by J.J. from kansas on 05/12/08 at 08:58 PM ET
There it is. One game later than expected. Thanks Gary. Ass.

Thanks Jennifer, that’s comforting to know.
I feel a lot better now.

Interference? Homer? Musta looked at Turco crosseyed or something…
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/12/08 at 08:59 PM ET
Homer into the sin bin—WTF
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 08:59 PM ET
Bad mojo Marty… bad mojo.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/12/08 at 09:00 PM ET
Drawn out analogy that keeps popping into my head…
The stars are out there working hard with a solid gameplan and a lot of talent. They’re getting good chances...they’re getting close to potting a few goals...but something just doesn’t seem to work for them.
They’re like the head of the chess club trying to bang the lead cheerleader. One night, he’s really on top of his game. He’s got all the lines. He’s got his look just right and he just waxed the family Roadmaster. After working it all night, he’s got the cheerleader alone in the corner of the party. They’re both drunk enough to consider what might happen. But then, just when he goes to make his move, the first string quarterback (The Wings), who’s been shotgunning beers all night and playing air guitar to Journey, comes up, grabs the cheerleader by the g-string, throws her over his shoulder, gives the chess guy the finger and pounds her out in the back of his ‘Stang.
He’s a closer. He knows that’s his piece of ass. He takes care of business.
OK...maybe I took that too far

As soon as Doc said “Richards back”? This series ended.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 09:00 PM ET
If you’re going to make yourself a total bitch to get a penalty called, you might want to not let a goal in during your team’s power play.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/12/08 at 09:01 PM ET
Z with the SHORTIE!
THERE’S the insurance goal!
Grizzatch!

HOLY COW. GO Z! Another shorty tonight.

that’s what you get for diving Marty. The hockey gods are smiling on the winged wheel
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/12/08 at 09:01 PM ET
Damn that could be the proverbial nail in the coffin
A Swedish Nail

I will never get tired of seeing Turckey spinning out on his ass as the puck goes in behind him. Priceless!

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
