I had every intention of going with Seger. But..I gave it some thought this morning and I’m thinking it’s not time for a change. Lightfoot got us here and he’ll get us home. I love that line, and was going to save it for the Finals, but thought today was a good time to break it out.
It’s a Game 5 Live Blog. In a musty Joe Louis, 20,000 are praying for a trip back to where the Wings belong.
Press down. Hard.

Andrew, at least it’s 2:30pm where you are. Here it’s 11:30am and the Crown Royal is half empty. I hate the Playoffs…

Moving onto the absinthe then…
Alright, everyone keep an eye on Andrew’s posts. They should get entertaining pretty soon.

Stats are turning with the Wings. Good Sign.

Lebda had a pretty strong first period.

well, they approved my Douche Canoe sponsorship, but the message still isn’t up.

Actually Mike, it’s 8:30 PM where I am. Should I not rub that in?
I bet your reception is better than mine though. Damned dish. (Not you, Disch.)

Zetterberg got dinged when that star stuck out his knee on him.
Hopefully it’s a charlie horse but it really could be anything.
I also think it messed up his skate as well so it was a double whammy.

All the Z talk here - don’t forget, he took a leg-collision hit about halfway through from one of the Mongoloids on Dallas. I’m sure that doesn’t feel so hot.

Man, seriously, it’s gone.”
you mean like Jack Handy GONE?

I think Hollywood still mostly gives leading roles to black men in action films. Cuba is not an action star.
Boyz n the Hood to...Daddy Day Camp.

Me, entertaining? Never.
Have you been cheese nachos? Well then sex draft beer mile-high club chicken wings. If hockey jungle-sex three-way, you could sex cars giant breasts. And with power tools sex sports beef jerky miss november, that could mean golf scotch fried baloney sandwiches. So pick up that threesome and poke a sex sweaty sex now. Call thirty-six twenty-four thirty-six. That’s thirty-six twenty-four thirty-six. And remember: we don’t football sex bowling until you pizza.

Brett’s stuffing his face again. Shocker.

Good point, Paul. Hadn’t thought of it that way.

I just pray that the hockey gods allow DET to carry all that mojo into the 2nd!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:35 PM ET
A bloated Hull stuffing food in his mouth. Oh yeah, my money’s on a career comeback next season.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/17/08 at 01:36 PM ET
not the kind of call we want to have? he was going to play the puck into the zone! the slash took that opportunity away.
these guys are idiots.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/17/08 at 01:37 PM ET
Maltby gets that puck and he’s alone in the zone and the NBC asses are bitching about the call… unbelievable.
Posted by J.J. from kansas on 05/17/08 at 01:37 PM ET
Ohh joy—to the PP, good way to keep momentum going!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:37 PM ET
WOW...Andrew...wasted no time with that absinthe, huh?

from the look of him, he wouldn’t need to wear pads…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/17/08 at 01:38 PM ET
I must be in trouble… I completely understood what Andrew was saying.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/17/08 at 01:38 PM ET
Have you been cheese nachos?
(Still laughing and wiping a tear away)
It’s funny cause it’s true.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/17/08 at 01:39 PM ET
Remember when having a power play meant being in the offensive zone for a long time? I miss those times.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:39 PM ET
Sammy hands of stone—good gawd
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:40 PM ET
what the hell are you talking about Milbury?
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/17/08 at 01:40 PM ET
It’s even better when delivered by an even-voiced man in a suit:

Intensity, lads. Intensity.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:41 PM ET
I am so cheese nachos right now…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/17/08 at 01:42 PM ET
*#$%@&
Posted by disch from bat country on 05/17/08 at 01:43 PM ET
Are you kidding me.
I’m going to go die now…
Posted by movesfan13 from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/17/08 at 01:43 PM ET
Like I said...intensity. We can’t convert our odd-man rushes, give them one, and they convert.
Sex sports beef jerky miss november.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:44 PM ET
I hate to say it, but we’re looking a lot like Dallas was those first three games—getting chances, not burying them.
Posted by disch from bat country on 05/17/08 at 01:44 PM ET
Here kitty kitty, where are you bastard!! It’s time!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:44 PM ET
DAMMIT...I feel like when Franzen comes back, McCarty’s sitting.
Posted by Bryan from Athens, OH on 05/17/08 at 01:45 PM ET
I love miss november…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/17/08 at 01:45 PM ET
And incidentally, I am SO SICK of us chasing the lead. Who’s with me?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:45 PM ET
I get the feeling that the Wings are playing “tight”
Please, just *#$%@& skate!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:46 PM ET
Wings look like they still think they’re on Dallas ice.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/17/08 at 01:49 PM ET
Hank looks real slow. I keep thinking it’s because he’s at the end of a shift, but he has no acceleration whatsoever.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/17/08 at 01:50 PM ET
Andrew—I’m really tired of playing catch-up!!!
A lead would be freaking incredible

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
