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.

Was that Lidstrom’s stick that snuck in there? ‘97 anyone?

Ribeiro celebrating a little early there.
I don’t care what anybody says, his eyes say smack addict, not cunning hockey mind, to me. Couple that with his thin lil’ frame, well…I think he’s ripe for a Kronwallian hit.

Was Ott just going after Ozzie?
Yeah, he was. Ozzie needs to check him in the back again, get in his head instead of the other way around. Maybe get him to take a dumb penalty.

Indeed it was Nick making a save
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/10/08 at 06:50 PM ET
that’s it… get Downey dressed. Ott will pay!

A video of Leino scoring a shootout goal. Nice move.

Datsyuk and Zetterberg looked extra-brilliant. Bad start for Stuart. CBC’s replay showed the refs made the right call on the hand-pass-Datsyuk-goal. Way, way too many turnovers by Detroit, but they look great through the neutral zone, so that bodes well.

Oh *#$%@&, Cherry’s finally come out of the closet…
WHAT THE HELL IS HE WEARING?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 06:51 PM ET
Ron MacLean to Don Cherry:
“Poor Franzen, maybe he just saw your jacket, maybe he’s not sick.”

Ha and Cherry explains the origin of the term “redneck” saying its a compliment and calls himself one.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/10/08 at 06:54 PM ET
I hope either Dallas keeps blowing prime scoring chances or the Wings get their heads out their asses defensively.
One or the other will be fine.

I’m thinking of getting a motorcycle to drive to work. Never ridden one. My wife says I should take a class with a rented bike beforehand. She has little confidence in my driving ability.

“I’m a redneck”
An extremely poorly dressed redneck.

Thats Happy’s 4th point in the past three games.
Hanks 6th point in past 3,
Pav’s 7th in past 3
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/10/08 at 06:55 PM ET
Homer is better than Smyth because Homer doesn’t try to tip them in.
Interesting.
Posted by Osrt on 05/10/08 at 06:55 PM ET
That was one fine period of playoff hockey… Me likey very much. Me want more of the same.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/10/08 at 06:55 PM ET
Did Cherry just call Navvies Rednecks?
Somebody give that snappy dresser a history lesson. Appalachia, Don. Moonshine. Banjos. THAT’S the Scotch-Irish connection, genius. Why do you think they call ‘em HillBILLIES?
Game’s making me testy.

Que? I’m not getting the joke.

I need to take a trip to River City Sports! holy wah
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 06:58 PM ET
Mike—I’d take 6 -3 final everyday
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/10/08 at 06:59 PM ET
Chief, if you can get to A2, you can have my old BMW R60/S. Watch out for the brakes though, they blow hairy sweaty goal balls. I’d recommend selling it to a collector and buying something that stops better than an AMC Gremlin.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 06:59 PM ET
Wow. Darren Helm is about fourteen.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 07:00 PM ET
I hate to be a worrier—but I didn’t see Homer out with Pavel and Hank at the end of the period
just saying
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/10/08 at 07:01 PM ET
Helm getting interviewed in front of Alex Delvecchio wall…awesome…
Posted by Osrt on 05/10/08 at 07:01 PM ET
Ugh. I have leave to play in my rec hockey league in a few minutes and thus will miss the third.
God Speed boys, let me have good news when I’m done.
(I wonder if I can get my ear buds under my goalie mask and have reception??)
Posted by moocat on 05/10/08 at 07:03 PM ET
Holy geez! 21 hits? They typically don’t have that many over an entire game.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/10/08 at 07:03 PM ET
Hits
DET 21
DAL 8
It’s because of all the soft Europeans on Dallas’ roster.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:04 PM ET
Wings look…good?...without Franzen in the lineup?
They’re passing the crack pipe in the commentary booth now.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:06 PM ET
Kronwall whispered a few well selected words into Joel Lundqvist’s ear before skating off…
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/10/08 at 07:06 PM ET
nice even-up call there, refs!!! How bout a dive?
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 07:07 PM ET

I think it is BAB’s psyche going on—telling DAL we are going to beat you no matter what type of game you want to play
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/10/08 at 07:07 PM ET
WOW DAL PP looking pretty freaking good
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/10/08 at 07:10 PM ET
Good PK there, but we’re letting them get to the loose pucks too easily.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:10 PM ET
Ott should get two for that sh*t…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 07:11 PM ET
Damn, Dallas are really running our D.
Someone needs to return the favor.
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/10/08 at 07:12 PM ET
Ozzie great save after Cleary came real close
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/10/08 at 07:13 PM ET
Getting a little nervous. I’m sure it’s nothing.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/10/08 at 07:15 PM ET
Damn—DAL is playing in our zone, and we are taking penalties
Wheres my cat!!!
