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.

Steve, sorry. I don’t buy that stuff. Maybe in the NBA, but not here. Gramps agrees with you though
.
For the record:
I never said the Wings would tank tonight. I said it looked like they were trying to in that dismal g3 performance.

Did anyone else notice the “C” on Sakic’s jersey? It’s hideous.
The font used on the Avalanche sweaters is one of the ugliest I’ve seen. The serifs on the letters are terrible. That captain’s “C” on the left of Sakic’s chest looks like a curving arrow, as if to say “insert heart here”.

J.J.: Yep. A quick 180 for sure.
Why does it seem there just isn’t due respect for the skill and talent up and down the whole roster for Detroit? I’ve been watching the other playoff games and it just doesn’t look like ANYONE has the number of skilled hockey players like the Wings.

The Swedes are feasting on a French goalie tonight!

Stone, IWO, for sure this team transitions exceptionally well. The announcers said that Detroit “may be the fastest team in the league.” Maybe yes or no, but just 2 years ago who ever dreamed we would be called one of the fastest teams?

LOL…frigging Budaj to start the second. 7 periods too late Joel.

“They should get a penalty for too many shots on the goalie”
“That’s not a penalty”
CLASSIC Versus color commentary
Posted by ScottH from Kalamazoo on 05/01/08 at 10:06 PM ET
Damn! Game is not over! Budaj is in!
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 05/01/08 at 10:07 PM ET
Budaj is in… we chase another goalie away!
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/01/08 at 10:08 PM ET
Total cop-out by coach Q sneaking Budaj in to start the 2nd. He needed to do it in front of the fans and everyone to reenergize his team and the arena. Too little, too late by a coach who is soon going to find his seat quite warm.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/01/08 at 10:08 PM ET
Damn get one here, 4 - 1 looks so much better.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 05/01/08 at 10:08 PM ET
Nothing builds confidence in the replacement goalie like seeing two of your team mates in the sin bin.

Getting in the hot tub with my beer-swilling fiancee…
I’ll check back in later.
Enjoy the thrashing.

Oh How SWEEET! (or Swede)
Zetts! Homer is a freaking wall up there.
Posted by RWBill from the Land of 12 in 12. on 05/01/08 at 10:10 PM ET
Buj is in.
Buj doesn’t matter.
Lidstrom joins the Parade O’ Swedes!!
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:10 PM ET
Rest up for Dallas. Hope the Sharks can extend, chokers that they are. But…considering how the Wings are playing, a long layoff doesn’t make me feel real good.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/01/08 at 10:10 PM ET
that was a sick shot! its nice to see the pp in working condition, because we are going to need everything we can get against dallas.
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:10 PM ET
WTF are these VS. guys saying that Homer never gets called for interference?
Posted by Clark on 05/01/08 at 10:10 PM ET
No mercy.
Give us 60 minutes, boys. A full 60 minutes!
And let’s not let anyone get hurt either!
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 10:11 PM ET
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot.
Pavel Datsyuk leads the team in hits w/ 20.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/01/08 at 10:13 PM ET
time to give helm lots of ice time and get him a goal…almost there!!!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:13 PM ET
Chief, I agree. The idea of a long break makes me nervous.
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 10:14 PM ET
Keep this assjam going.
Posted by O’Long-apo~J’oe on 05/01/08 at 10:14 PM ET
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No mercy.

Awww! It’s not even my birthday! Can they pull the coach?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/01/08 at 10:15 PM ET
this is almost as nice to watch as game 7 in ‘02!!! zetterberg is amazing!!! what a goal!!!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:15 PM ET
Oh man Z, was that just sick.
Beat the traffic clap clap clap clap clap
Posted by Dave on 05/01/08 at 10:15 PM ET
Sweet…maybe Q’ll pull ButtvaG and put 3/4 back in!
I wonder if DC is watching this game? He must be frustrated as hell right now!
Posted by ScottH from Kalamazoo on 05/01/08 at 10:16 PM ET
Boy, those Red Wings sure do suck, right Av’tards?
Posted by O’Long-apo~J’oe on 05/01/08 at 10:16 PM ET
Lebda, Lilja, McCarty, Helm, and….
....Datsyuk?
was that a mistake? Datsyuk couldn’t get off the ice? or has he been demoted to the fourth line?
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/01/08 at 10:16 PM ET
it amazes me at how skilled our team is, although the colorado d and goaltending is making us look real good tonight!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:16 PM ET
Did I hear that right….
“Detroit in Total Control”??????
Posted by Rumbear from Top O da Hasek, sippin rum & catchin some rays on 05/01/08 at 10:17 PM ET
I think the long break will help keep them from suffering from a series-domination hangover. You hand a team their asses like this in the playoffs and it’s hard to stay focused and not start thinking that the playoffs are really this easy.
Posted by J.J. from Kansas on 05/01/08 at 10:17 PM ET
I guess all felines can sleep easy for awhile, ay Team A2Y 19?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 10:19 PM ET
poor avs fans, i feel really sorry for them, yeah right!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 10:19 PM ET

Where’s Nipplesnippits? I wanna laugh at him
for a few minutes!

HaloMasterChief: Yes the Wings start on the PP.
Yes JJ, the genius Quinnville should have had Budaj in net the last 3 1/2 games.
Good omen, we’ve knocked out Quinnville in 97, 98, and 02. Hmmm…
