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.

Hank does look slow, and it’s stressing me the Eff out.

I’m pretty sure I’d sell my mother to the Gypsies for a lead.

I just saw Cleary playing with Datsyuk and Holmstrom… oh shit

The girls in this Heiniken commercial are the only thing keeping me sane right now.

Ahoy, mutherfuckers
I’m aboard, I’m fetal...and maybe a little drunk!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/17/08 at 01:54 PM ET
Honestly this isn’t completely unexpected. Those long win streaks are a double edged sword because they’re usually followed by a couple game lull like it or not and as we all know this time of year a lull will send you home.
Hopefully they can break out again.

Pav’s has the puck in front of the net and can’t get a shot
Gotta do something for the hockey gods
Andrew—I’ll sell your mother for a lead
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:55 PM ET
Phew… at least Zetterberg’s still out there on some shifts…
Posted by ludmeister on 05/17/08 at 01:55 PM ET
it pisses me off that turkey is having a decent game. I know the implosion is coming...I just know it...but I don;t want to have to wait much longer.
crowd...sounding like they have a pulse again.

I say to hate this but Head is standing on his turco…

Buckets with two good chances—c’mon wheres the golden ticket!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:57 PM ET
Jeff, you can draw up the legal papers, I’ll go find the Gypsies.
Jesus, whadowegottadoto score?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:57 PM ET
Decided to switch to Ken and Paul on the radio. Blood pressure going down a little bit
Posted by Hap from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/17/08 at 01:58 PM ET
Has Mikael Samuelsson ever scored a goal for the Detroit Red Wings?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/17/08 at 01:58 PM ET
Wings are tentative—tentative
Why does Sammy always shoot when he should pass?
And always pass when he should shoot?
Why?
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:59 PM ET
I’m really starting to hate the phrase “Turco makes the save!”
It’s going to be Catcher In the Rye and Manchurian Candidate with me...just you watch.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:59 PM ET
Shots DET 23 DAL 14
yet we are losing, why?
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 02:00 PM ET
are you effin kidding me...my heartbeat must be at least 130
Posted by Osrt on 05/17/08 at 02:01 PM ET
What the *#$%@& was that ---
Matador defense—good freaking grief
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 02:01 PM ET
Was it my imagination or did the ref have that whistle up to his lips just waiting to call a penalty on someone?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/17/08 at 02:02 PM ET
Yeah Chief, but I bet he’d score more often than Samuelsson.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 02:02 PM ET
Christ, Lundqvist waltzes in and “draws” a penalty…
I’m switching from beer to whiskey.
vword = 28pressure. Indeed!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/17/08 at 02:02 PM ET
I’m not stressed at all!
I’m downright pissed off at the lack of intensity being displayed by the Wings.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 02:03 PM ET
Babcock needs to calm his guys down, they are starting to tighten up and forcing plays again. We keep playing our game and this thing ends 4-2 for the Wings.
Posted by J.J. from kansas on 05/17/08 at 02:03 PM ET
LMFAO
NOW he agrees with the call.
unbelievable.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/17/08 at 02:03 PM ET
I have to agree with the earlier posts that Z is hurting. I’m so stressed, my stomach is in knots. I see that the 4th line has not been on much lately. DMac is not having a good game in my opinion. Why are the Wings so tentative?
I hate the playoffs. Dear God, what I wouldn’t give for a shorty right now. Hmm, I have three cats...Here kitty kitty.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 02:04 PM ET
Ozzie standing tall—thank goodness
Something has to kick the Wings in the Ass!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 02:04 PM ET
God I hate hearing them talk about Turco.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 02:05 PM ET
That last little flurry in front of Ozzie tells the whole story. #5 and #24 both allowing a Ribiero to hack away at Osgood. Our two most experienced D just watched him do it.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/17/08 at 02:06 PM ET
Oh feck, Flip’s off too…
Shoot me now.
I’m a puck. Shoot me. Shoot me. SHOOT ME!!!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 02:07 PM ET
“scared hockey...”
I nominate Milbury for “Douche Fairy”
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/17/08 at 02:09 PM ET
Datsyuk’s stick held.
good call refs.
oh, wait…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/17/08 at 02:09 PM ET
Phrases that I’m tired of, “Wings are playing scared.” and “A quiet Joe Louis Arena.” Also anything about Marty Turco.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 02:09 PM ET
Was there a particular reason turco flopped to his back there?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/17/08 at 02:10 PM ET
Shots 13 DET DAL 6
And if DET doesn’t pot the next one, they are in real trouble.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 02:10 PM ET
If Dallas wins, I’m not going to be able to open up my computer...the internet is going to get clogged with stories about Turco finally winning at the Joe.

Fetal position. Uck. I really feel sick. How many times can Doc and Edzo say Turco’s name in two minutes? Where is the skate to the throat? Mule, we need you!
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 02:12 PM ET
Phrases that I’m tired of, “Wings are playing scared.”
What do you expect from the class act that climbed into the stands to beat on a fan? Mike Milberry thinks the Broadstreet Bullies were the greatest team ever put on the ice. Anything that’s not...well they’re soft, and easy to intimidate. Thanks Ass.

Shot from the grassy knoll.
Posted by moocat on 05/17/08 at 02:13 PM ET
i’m throwing up...but there is more where that came from.
We’re going to overtime people
Posted by Osrt on 05/17/08 at 02:13 PM ET
Chief, my apologies for the language...but…
This is a *#$%@& embarrassment. This isn’t October! Where the hell did the killer instinct go?
Stevie Y needs to go into that dressing room, glare, then walk back out again.

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
