In A Musty Old Hall In Detroy-it They Prayed…It’s A Game 5 Live Blog

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.

More fuel on the fire. Piss them off just a little more.

Said it before, say it again. Brad Winchester is as dumb as a shovel.
Not happy with D-Mac in the box too, though...especially when it wasn’t a penalty Stuart took.

Ozzie Ozzie—shoulda cleared the puck instead of weathering those two chances—
Still good kill

Millbury between the benches—way better than D.C.!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 12:48 PM ET
NBC, VS - interchangeable idiots.
Nice kill.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/17/08 at 12:49 PM ET
That was a TERRIBLE shift after the P.K.
And another great chance by DAL
Gee—think we could play some in the DAL end??

Schneider = Zubov

Ozzie! Damn. *#$%@& you Jennifer Who-Has-The-Same-Name-As-Karl-Marx’s-Partner…
NASN’s picked up the HNIC feed. What’s a Douche Canoe?

Great navy commericial. Not. Saw at least five discrepancies. Whatever. Bad mood. Nitpicking.

Hope this is a good period for Detroit. I have to go into work and finish a few things up in a bit, so it would be nice to have a good period.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/17/08 at 12:52 PM ET
Christ. Still using the OT game as a crutch.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/17/08 at 12:53 PM ET
Dear Santa,
I don’t care if there’s nothing under the tree this year. I just want one thing. I want a win today. But more than that, I want the crowd chanting “Ozzie’s Better” as they did to Roy when he faced Hasek in the 2002 Finals.
If you can do that for me, that would be great. Thanks.

Drake giving them jump - trying to lock down a minimum wage contract for next year!
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/17/08 at 12:54 PM ET
WHAT a hit!!
(*Quick Wave* Hi. Lurker. Wanted to start commenting :D )
Posted by movesfan13 from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/17/08 at 12:54 PM ET
Still?
Well, Detroit played an overtime game with Nashville in the first round. Does that count?
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/17/08 at 12:55 PM ET
Ah, I can see the resemblance to feminine hygiene and underpowered watercraft. Thanks Paul.
Like Chief said. Drake REALLY wants a shot at the Cup. No heads will get in his way.

Can someone explain what a Dallas penalty is? I thought I knew but I guess not
Posted by Hap from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/17/08 at 12:56 PM ET
Fack. Bad change. Surprised it was Lebda?
Maybe someone can explain to me what goaltender interference looks like when it happens to the Red Wings?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 12:58 PM ET
Outshot 8 - 3
Great start—bitches
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 12:58 PM ET
Dallas is getting their sticks in the passing lanes in the Detroit zone. Wings are hesitating on their decisions and the split second is giving Dallas time to get to the puck. hope Babcock sees this.

My thoughts exactly.
Posted by movesfan13 from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/17/08 at 12:59 PM ET
Maybe a powerplay goal would be a good idea
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:00 PM ET
need the cycle so Homer can go ruin Marty’s day
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/17/08 at 01:01 PM ET
Maybe not having Sammy on the point would be a good idea.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:02 PM ET
GOLDEN OPP MISSED. Was that Mac?
Posted by movesfan13 from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/17/08 at 01:04 PM ET
STFU Milbury, there was no goalie interference, ass
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/17/08 at 01:05 PM ET
D-Mac’s learning from Homer…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:05 PM ET
Good shift for DET—finally!!!!
Homer in the slot—good chance
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:05 PM ET
they’re making sure to bump Marty every chance they get.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/17/08 at 01:06 PM ET
I noticed this from the NHL rulebook in the section about interference:
* if the opposing player interfered with is Detroit’s Tomas Holmstrom, it is not a penalty.
gotta read the fine print, boys.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/17/08 at 01:07 PM ET
PP getting some really good chances
HAPPYYHYYYYYYYY
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:07 PM ET
HAPPY HUDLER !!!
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/17/08 at 01:07 PM ET
FINALLY! Only about 5 spectacular misses before but FINALLY!

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
