Update 1836: This one hurts. Franzen, concussion like symptoms, out for tonite.
Starting the Live Blog a little early tonite. Apparently, the Hasek Club Car is filling up and you know those idiots need something to do. I’ll be here for the start of the game. Commence your conversations. Juveniliciousness is the only mandate.
Oh, and all those lower bowl seats the Delicate Genius was talking about? The empty ones he noticed after Kronwall’s hit? Here they are, thanks to Dave Guralnick of the Detroit News.
Gaping holes Mitch. Gaping.

Okay—DET needs to get skating
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 06:30 PM ET
YESSSSS!!!!!! Oh, wait, no goal. Bastards.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 06:33 PM ET
Bad call but a hard one to make in that split second.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 06:33 PM ET
Not sure about that one. Still, its a bit more panic for Turco.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 06:33 PM ET
DATS!
Oh, son of a…
...Screw you, ref.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 06:33 PM ET
Note the complete lack of multiple calls in front of the net.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 06:34 PM ET
Funny how Donkey Punches are legal nowadays.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 06:35 PM ET
Homer annihilated—wheres the call
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 06:35 PM ET
Dats is going to want that one back. He’s not happy about not having a point yet.
And Nick’s gonna want that PP goal back-- watch for the laser from the point.
Refs are playing even-up on calls tonight. I want them incinerated.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 06:35 PM ET
Wings to the PP
#1 line wont be on
#2 with Cleary likely
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 06:36 PM ET
Zubov in the box. Hurts them almost as much as Nick in the box hurt us.
Hurt them bad, boys.

Refs are playing even-up on calls tonight. I want them incinerated.
And off goes Zubov
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 06:37 PM ET
Dats was felt up on that last shift...that was ridiculous..
Posted by Osrt on 05/10/08 at 06:37 PM ET
I guess with the tv timeout,BABs puts the #1 line out
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 06:38 PM ET
And the Circus is on the board bitches.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 06:38 PM ET
There we go. No wasting time.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 06:38 PM ET
Turco was completely preoccupied with Homer.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 06:39 PM ET
HANK!
Do that voodoo that you do. We need it tonight.
Anybody see his face after that? No celebration. He knows that he needs to do more of that tonight. Sheer hard work.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 06:39 PM ET
OK, some defensive poise would be good right about now.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 06:40 PM ET
Can you call offside when you’re dragged over the line early?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 06:40 PM ET
OK, some defensive poise would be good right about now.
and 6 or so more goals
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/10/08 at 06:41 PM ET
Z!!!
Thread freezing up??
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 06:41 PM ET
There’s a line somewhere between “calm” and “nonchalant.” Which side does Turco fall on tonite?
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 06:43 PM ET
Whoa. The VS. guy is just laying on the praise for the Wings. “They’re called a puck possession team, but they can play any way the game dictates.”
Posted by jrl123 on 05/10/08 at 06:43 PM ET
Good to see Datsyuk is showing everyone why it sucks to be a Swede in Dallas.
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/10/08 at 06:43 PM ET
Edzo’s credibility always increases when he references his highly successful coaching career.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 06:44 PM ET
Damn, Hank’s using Dr. Datsyuk’s Patented Puck Glue tonight.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 06:45 PM ET
HNIC are speaking well of the wings too, maybe they are catching on???
Posted by christpuncher from detroit on 05/10/08 at 06:45 PM ET
Shots 10 - 3
Chances 8 - 4
DAL is STILL SLOW
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 06:45 PM ET
Was Ott just going after Ozzie?
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 06:46 PM ET

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
