In The Ruins Of Her Ice Water Mansion: It’s a Game 4 Live Blog

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.

Lilja...again
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:20 PM ET
Lils is making his presence felt already.

Put your make-up (call) on Garcia… there is life in the Dive yet.

Was that a penalty on Holmstrom for being Homer?
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/01/08 at 09:21 PM ET
what a friggin gift by the referees unfuckingbelievable

bull, should have been the other way around!
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:21 PM ET
I think I just peed in my pants a little bit…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/01/08 at 09:22 PM ET
What the heck did Homer do there to get a tripping penalty?
Posted by Matt Saler from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/01/08 at 09:23 PM ET
That whole sequence there was disturbing on so many different levels, it’s hard to know where to start…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/01/08 at 09:23 PM ET
Homer tripped, hence the tripping call
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:23 PM ET
Wing vs. Avs+Refs

Great effort double-D!

Good on Versus for debigulating their little promo bar that shows up every now in then.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 05/01/08 at 09:26 PM ET
What the hell is Tomtom?
A fancy-ass map. You can get one in exchange for a load of cash and your dignity.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:28 PM ET
the avs aren’t going to be able to roll four lines if they want a chance to win this...its nice to see our third and fourth lines getting lots of ice time.
Posted by yzer19man from Chicago on 05/01/08 at 09:29 PM ET
Holmstrom went down again, you sure you don’t want to call him for tripping?
Posted by Clark on 05/01/08 at 09:29 PM ET

they are having trouble on the checking line keeping up with us. despite the make-up goal, we are dominating play right now. nice chances, passes, and ice washes for the goalies thrown in for good measure.

Well Steve, the “fixed” theory is gaining credibility.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/01/08 at 09:31 PM ET
Tripping? I’d say he was checking the ice from behind. 5m major.
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/01/08 at 09:32 PM ET
Q did a pre-game interview on TSN, they asked his strategy… keep it simple. that generally doesn’t work against our Wings, and it is showing. Sakic best player on the Dive right now, still love the guy
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/01/08 at 09:33 PM ET
I’m with you RW.

Thanks Dick Ebersol. Ass.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 05/01/08 at 09:33 PM ET
If the Wings keep the pressure on for a full 60, I don’t think there’s any way the Avs can keep up. We can roll more players. Simple.
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:35 PM ET
TD, that was the name on his birth certificate originally.... but many thought it too pretentious.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/01/08 at 09:35 PM ET
More healthy, talented, skilled players, that is.
Seriously.
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:36 PM ET
Thanks Ozzie keeping us in the game til we get our wheels back. that bogus call was sure a buzz kill.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/01/08 at 09:36 PM ET
K, we need to mop up in front of our own net here. Far to many shots from between the dots.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/01/08 at 09:36 PM ET
our d aren’t moving their legs enough...lija, stuart, lids…

They don’t have Lilja.
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/01/08 at 09:37 PM ET
I like Billy Jaffe, I can’t help it. Despite being a Devil fan, the man is just too positive and up front to be an NHL analyst.
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 05/01/08 at 09:38 PM ET
I’ve got a tom tom. It’s a GPS deal. I loaded a british chick as my navigator. Her name is Jane. She’s my special friend.

Key to Game 4...put Lilja’s ass back on the damn bench

“It’s Detroit’s transitional speed.”
Yep, that’s what I thought, too.
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:38 PM ET
Tigers beat Yankees 8-4 for their first sweep of the Yankees since 1966.
Not a bad way to end your last trip to Yankee Stadium, huh? 
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/01/08 at 09:40 PM ET
Cheif. Stay in thegame, K?
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:40 PM ET
*Chief*
(sorry)
Posted by stonehands-78 from the beginning ... a WingsFan, on 05/01/08 at 09:41 PM ET
Incidentally, I’ve been told I look like Joba Chaimberlain lately. Is that a person?
Posted by Steve from New Jersey on 05/01/08 at 09:41 PM ET
Jones is a stud. The kid is as strong as the Mule.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/01/08 at 09:41 PM ET
They’re letting the Dive drive the net too much
Posted by Chris in Hockey Hell from COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE on 05/01/08 at 09:41 PM ET
Where’s our evener call? I’ve seen the Avs holding sticks.
Posted by Clark on 05/01/08 at 09:43 PM ET
Doing too much stick-checking too
Posted by Chris in Hockey Hell from COLUMBIA, TENNESSEE on 05/01/08 at 09:43 PM ET
BTW: Anyone else hearing the audio of what sounds like a puck hitting the pipes?

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
