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.

Shots 35 -19. WHY? Where is the urgency?

Morrow fakes an injury to get off on the icing. How is that allowed?
Violate his ass if he steps back on the ice.

Stupid penalty and bad time to take it.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 02:51 PM ET
33 shots for DET and 1 freaking goal
and Homer draws a penalty going to the bench --- good lord
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 02:51 PM ET
killer penalty while detroit had plenty of momentum

A shorty from Draper sounds good right about now…
Posted by Alex in Cambridge, Ontario (Canada EH!) on 05/17/08 at 02:52 PM ET
My gawd, it’s actually faking his skate needing a sharpening. WTF?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 02:52 PM ET
Verbal Roughing on Homer?
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/17/08 at 02:52 PM ET
I’m going to be sick again. I wish I was listening to Ken and Mickey right now. I need some comfort. My daughter has gone outside to play, I think I’m scaring her.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 02:53 PM ET
2nd time for DET to have the freaking Matador defense!!
I think that DAL is in DET head right now.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 02:54 PM ET
Ok hockey gods, do your magic! Big save by Ozzie leads to a goal for us! It has to happen! It’s the oldest cliche in hockey dammit!
Posted by Alex in Cambridge, Ontario (Canada EH!) on 05/17/08 at 02:54 PM ET
I hate Brendan Morrow, I hate Brendan Morrow, I hate Brendan Morrow.

Edge Eclipse gives me such a close and comfortable shave because it allows unattainable girls to dance around my whiskers and fly up my nostrils.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/17/08 at 02:58 PM ET
(Climbing up to the roof of the Hasek) Hey, I’m serious dammit! Just win the freakin’ game and I am gone.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/17/08 at 02:58 PM ET
Prepare yourselves now for a Game 7. No way this goes in Detroit’s favor back in Dallas.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/17/08 at 02:59 PM ET
Wings are gonna have to really start pressing now.
Circus has 0 points.
Story of the game

MMUUUUULLLLEEEE…
we are missing you....
you are the only STRICHENÄÄÄÄ
Posted by Monty on 05/17/08 at 03:00 PM ET
ARGH… i’m stressing so much right now. This is ridiculous.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/17/08 at 03:00 PM ET
I think I have overflowed the barf bucket in the Hasek car. This is just horrible.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 03:01 PM ET
Why can’t they seem to get a rebound to save their lives?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/17/08 at 03:02 PM ET
On the remote chance that the Wings manage to tie this up and go into overtime will NBC cut the game to go the freaking horse race?
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/17/08 at 03:03 PM ET
Good Lord—this is just freaking awful
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 03:03 PM ET
Jeff - agreed. I hate the playoffs, i hate the playoffs, I hate the playoffs, i hate the playoffs

not for local affiliates. but otherwise, yes. the game will go to Versus.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/17/08 at 03:05 PM ET
I know it is sacrareligous—but I really despise the Wings and their damn slow starts
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 03:05 PM ET
Unfortunately, I haven’t felt it since opening faceoff, I was hoping it was just my nerves. Well, that’s it.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 03:06 PM ET
I can’t freaking believe they’re going to lose this game. This is ridiculous.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/17/08 at 03:06 PM ET
Fooking hell. You give an inch, they take a mile.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/17/08 at 03:07 PM ET
No shots in the last minute.
Nothing—time for Uncle Mike to really earn some of that new contract money.
That was pathetic
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 03:07 PM ET
Screw Turckey and his record at the Joe...it was one goal. ONE FECKING GOAL!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 03:08 PM ET
In a word, that was just plain awful. I should give kudos to Dallas for playing their game, I just can’t bring myself to do it.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 03:08 PM ET
Ugh, this day sucks. I hate to even wonder what else can go wrong.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/17/08 at 03:09 PM ET
I’m stayin’ up here on the roof. I don’t wanna talk to nobody.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/17/08 at 03:09 PM ET
SWEET! I get to watch the races now! I was a little worried I might miss it.

The Ghosts of February are rattling their chains.

This is so frustrating. I’m not gonna have any hair left by the time the original Bubba is finally gone. %$@!&* Turkey.
And call me a crazy conspiracy nut, but I would swear the refs are trying to make sure Dallas prolongs this series as much as possible and tire the Wings out. That way, we’ll be too tired and the league’s precious boy-toy gets a Cup.
Oh, and %$@^ Mike Milbury.
Posted by Alex in Cambridge, Ontario (Canada EH!) on 05/17/08 at 03:10 PM ET
Ok...I’m not going to be back or check anything hockey related until Monday. hopefully.
remember...whatever you threw up into is no longer recyclable.
Posted by Osrt on 05/17/08 at 03:10 PM ET
A million swear words...i just can’t believe it. The MSM will be all over the Stars now, even worse than before.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 03:10 PM ET
Coulda tossed this game with three minutes to go and set the tone for game seven. Now we have .....nothing...no mo men tum.......
Frock me.....I hate this take the hit and win the game crap.
Posted by Rumbear from the den.... on 05/17/08 at 03:10 PM ET
This is becoming a nightmare series. Suddenly all that confidence in the team is gone.
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/17/08 at 03:10 PM ET
1 point, 5 hits for the line...and it’s the “breakthrough line” for the game?
bar must be set pretty low.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/17/08 at 03:10 PM ET
Alex agrees ^%$# Mike Milbury. %$#@ the playoffs.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 03:11 PM ET
Mike Milbury.
Douche Fairy works for me.
Posted by Rumbear from the den.... on 05/17/08 at 03:13 PM ET
So...Big Brown is a 1-5 favorite, the next closest horse is at 9-1. I’m thinking there’s going to be a HUGE superfecta payoff today…
Oh, wait...*#$%@& horse racing!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/17/08 at 03:13 PM ET
That should read, “Alex, agreed.” Damn, the Wings broke my heart today.
Posted by hockeychic from Denver, CO on 05/17/08 at 03:13 PM ET
Game 6 is where Uncle Mike will make or break. Let’s see what he’s made of.
At least I have KM (Krav Maga) tomorrow-- I can take out my frustrations by beating the stuffing out of a heavy bag held by a bald guy shorter than me who could still knock me six ways to Sunday.
What I wouldn’t give for some positive news on Mule right now.
Goodnight all. Enjoy the Preakness. Hope a horse kicks it so we can all have ‘steak’ on Wednesday.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor from the occult library looking for Texan Hexes... on 05/17/08 at 03:14 PM ET
Well, I’m off to go sulk and pay some attention to my child. The A2Y 19 were the only good thing about this game.

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
