I’m tired. Tired of my wife kicking my butt in Wii bowling. To quote Appollo Creed, that’s very hard for a man of my intelligence to take. It is, however, what it is.
The solution? A Game 4 Live Blog set to yet another lyric from the greatest folk song of all time. A folk song that kicks the living hell, by the way, out of anything Bob Dylan ever did.

Stonehands, I hear the same thing every so often. Don’t know what that is.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 05/01/08 at 09:44 PM ET

Please God, do not re-sign Lilja.
Lids, Raffi, Kronwall, Stuart, Erickson, Meech, Chelios.
7 D Men, no Lilja.

I hear it too! In fact, I heard it many times in the LAST game.
Must be the Versus sound effects.
Posted by BuzzFledderjohn on 05/01/08 at 09:45 PM ET
thats about as nice as it gets!!! zetterberg, amazing fake...yeah I also hear that clanging sound in the background...what the hell?

Now THAT ONE was a BEAUT!!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:46 PM ET
3/4 doesn’t come out for the second!!!! MULE!!!!!!!!!
Posted by Chris in Hockey Hell from COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE on 05/01/08 at 09:46 PM ET
Three or Four !!!
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/01/08 at 09:46 PM ET
I’d like to see the Wings scoring percentages on odd numbered rushes this series. They’re playing better right now than they have the last two years. Unbelievable.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/01/08 at 09:47 PM ET
these late goals are backbreakers!!! this is a great way to eliminate the dive!!! the can is quiet!!!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:47 PM ET
Incidentally, I’ve been told I look like Joba Chaimberlain lately. Is that a person?
Yes.
Young stud reliever for the Yankees, Steinbrenner thinks he should be starting and anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot, but he’s apparently irresistable to gnats in Cleveland.
So you might want to be careful around lakes in the summer when they are hatching. 
And another goal from Franzen! Figures.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/01/08 at 09:47 PM ET
3or4 gonna be pulled early?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:47 PM ET
and a penalty at the end of the period. Can you say Implosion!!!
Posted by Chris in Hockey Hell from COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE on 05/01/08 at 09:48 PM ET
OK, that’s better.
40 more minutes of that would be nice…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/01/08 at 09:48 PM ET
The first intermission is a good time to call some golf courses for tee times.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/01/08 at 09:48 PM ET
its quiet except for the best fans in the league cheering “Go Wings GO”!!!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:48 PM ET
Three or Four is becoming more efficient as the series progresses.
Posted by Dave on 05/01/08 at 09:49 PM ET
LMAO @ jrl123
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/01/08 at 09:50 PM ET
the Mule strikes again… wes craven please submit screenplay
Record for Red Wings is 8 goals in one series is held by Gordie Howe. Franzen currently has 7.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/01/08 at 09:50 PM ET
Like I said prior to the game starting… Hey Jose, good luck with that UFA thing in the summer. I’m sure some team needs a *cough* veteran netminder.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/01/08 at 09:50 PM ET
7 goals in 4 games for Johan, damn that Swedish bastard is on fire!!
Posted by Chris in Hockey Hell from COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE on 05/01/08 at 09:51 PM ET
BTW: Anyone else hearing the audio of what sounds like a puck hitting the pipes?
It’s the on ice mic picking up one of the goalies (3or4, I think) whacking the post with his stick after play has moved on.
Posted by Steve J from Columbus, OH on 05/01/08 at 09:51 PM ET
Jesus Rafalski…
I love when you can tell the announcers don’t know the teams at all.
a player mishandles the puck and you get “wow, and [insert name here] is one [insert team here]’s best puck handlers.”
since when is Rafalski one of our best puck handlers? yikes.

That Holmstrom penalty was almost as funny as the Zetterberg penalty off the faceoff last game. Good stuff.
Did anyone else notice the “C” on Sakic’s jersey? It’s hideous.
TSN just mentioned that the Red Wing record for goals in a series is 8, set by Mr. Hockey himself. Franzen? He’s got 7 in 3 1/3 games.
That Holmstrom goal was bad. A weak shot a couple inches off the ice, when that should be hard to the top half of the net every time. He’s lucky the pass was ridiculous (fake, no-look, tape-to-tape).
Posted by Ryan from Toronto on 05/01/08 at 09:52 PM ET
“ right choices at the right times.”
Yep. That’s what I thought, too.
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:52 PM ET
I like the Versus announcers have to pull a 180 after to two quick goals. You could hear the dive admiration come to a streaking halt. It was beautiful.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/01/08 at 09:53 PM ET
Keep in mind, these guys are doing this on skates.
Heh..
Giving up two goals in the last 2:00 has to be a real kick in the tuna whiskers if you’re a Vag fan.
JoeSay Where’s-the-Door? in the 2nd?

J.J. I was noticing the same thing. It was all about the Avs woops hey did anyone know that Detroit was playing too? They were beginning to mimic NBC.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/01/08 at 09:56 PM ET
So am I right thinking that there will be a Power play for the Wings to start the 2nd?
Posted by halomasterd4n on 05/01/08 at 09:57 PM ET
Steve J:. Thanks. I was starting to get panicky every time I heard it thinking some one missed!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:57 PM ET
Please, God, don’t let Joel pull Jose yet. If he leaves him in for one more goal, his name can officially be changed to just Jose Four!
It ain’t over until it’s over, but, Geez Louise, this is a slaughter.
Posted by OlderThanChelios from Grand Rapids on 05/01/08 at 09:57 PM ET
Is management meddling here and telling Quenneville to keep 3 or 4 in so they can see about getting a better deal for him in the offseason? To this point I thought it was just a bit quirky that Budaj hasn’t gotten more time in this series; it’s blown up to flat-out weird.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/01/08 at 09:59 PM ET
were putting on a good show for brunstrom and three of his countrymen have the goals, its a sweedish show tonight!!! im going to go get some sweedish berries and fish to snack on!!!

Has to be hosted on the Internet somewhere. Photobucket.

Sauer got 2 for slashing, Wings start the 2nd on the PP
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:59 PM ET
my nomination for comment of the year, from Neptune at http://www.milehighhockey.com:
If they ever play hockey in Hell, the games will be announced by Jim Hughson and Peter McKnob, broadcast by Vs and written about by Woody Paige.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/01/08 at 10:00 PM ET
since when is Rafalski one of our best puck handlers?
He’s a good handler. Probably one of the best (defenseman) puck handlers we have. I mean, one of our strengths is breakout passes. Gotta be decent at puck handling for that.
Good Lord, no, I’m not defending VS. But they do seem to be piling on the praise for the Wings this game - even if it’s a bit misplaced.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/01/08 at 10:00 PM ET
Sauer was called for a slash. Wings on PP to start 2nd period.

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
