And here we go.
Live Blog starts now. My commentary will go in the comment section along with all of yours. And, honestly, I tend to pace...so don’t expect too much from me. I’ve been home for almost two hours and have spent every minute in the Hasek Club Car.
Again: the keys. Power play. Taking the violence to Bubba instead of receiving. And, by god Dom...go frigging completely insane. Because we dig that.

Holy crap. the house is asleep and I almost gave myself some kind of aneurism thing when zetterberg scored trying not to yell.

There’s that lucky bounce goal someone was just talking about…

Great play from Lilja standing up whichever nondescript redneck was trying to enter the zone, and a great job from Cleary drawing that penalty. liking this german beer. The Hasek Club Car is getting rowdy.

“I am $6 a bottle, but I am the finest champagne you will ever taste. I am the NHL Playoffs.”
More like “I am $6 a bottle, and I am the worst Tums you will ever taste.”

Going to enjoy a cold one while this PP is going.

Damnit you know Trotz will have that tape on the league’s front door by midnight.

Anybody have an idea how much ice time Homer’s had tonight?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/10/08 at 08:25 PM ET
Crap, about 1 minute until empty-net time. Crapcrapcrapcrapcrap
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/10/08 at 08:26 PM ET

Can someone explain to me the crappy officiating tonight?
Simply put, no.
Posted by Clark on 04/10/08 at 08:27 PM ET
Holmstrom: 17 shifts, 12:54 ice time
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/10/08 at 08:30 PM ET
Thanks guys, I just found the TOI sheet on NHL.com.

Tension— Tension—lots of tension for the next 44 secs

Borat says “Veddy Niiice!!”
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/10/08 at 08:34 PM ET
one down, fifteen to go.
Go Wings! Full steam ahead!
Posted by aaron from phoenix, that makes me a Transplant on 04/10/08 at 08:35 PM ET
Score was closer than the game. Wings looked very good tonight.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/10/08 at 08:35 PM ET
Exhale
And now back to your regularly scheduled playoff twitching.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 04/10/08 at 08:35 PM ET
I just hope that before this series is over, someone knocks the crap out of “Toots”. Hate that puffy-faced snot.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 04/10/08 at 08:36 PM ET
See you guys tomorrow—G’Night!
WooHoo!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 04/10/08 at 08:36 PM ET
Eh. I knew they’d dominate and win. I don’t know what you were all worried about.
...
I’m gonna go throw up now. But not because I was stressed. Not me.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 04/10/08 at 08:38 PM ET
Wings doubled their shots. No surprise. Was very happy with overall play. Puck possession in the second and third wasn’t what it was in the first, but a good strong playoff game.
And..no problems with Hasek’s play.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/10/08 at 08:40 PM ET
As I said this morning my playoff slogan is “BRING IT ON!” Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
Posted by Kate from Pa. on 04/10/08 at 08:40 PM ET
Legace just slipped. “We..Uh, I mean Nashville has to get more shots on net.” Call Strickland Manny.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 04/10/08 at 08:42 PM ET
Not sure if anyone else has heard, but NASHVILLE HAS NEVER WON A PLAYOFF GAME ON THE ROAD. The versus guys just told me. Again.
1 down, 15 to go.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 04/10/08 at 08:42 PM ET
Wings win and I’m headed to the Laundry Car to wash out my shorts. Why can’t these guys do what the Pens did to Ottawa? It would save us all a lot of angst...not to mention the laundry bill.
The good news: this game is over.
The bad news: We’ve got 38 hours to wait until the next game.
Porter! Bring me all of the $6 wine you’ve got.
Posted by OlderThanChelios from Grand Rapids on 04/10/08 at 08:53 PM ET
Bring. It. On. They look good. Dominated in shots. Of course Ellis gets eight million saves, but how could you imagine anything different? I was at a business dinner all night and had my blackberry refreshing every 30 seconds. Zetterberg’s goal shows up and I interrupt a speech with “YES! ZETTERBERG!”
Awesome. 3-1, Chase. Write it down.

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
