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.

Oh, WTF is that now? You let the high-stick go, the interference, the roughing, everything, and then call some chickenshit penalty on Cheli?
Ozzie’s standing tall...now he needs to stand a little taller.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:17 PM ET
What a cheap freaking call on Cheli

I love crowds that cheer defensive plays…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/10/08 at 07:20 PM ET
oh good, we’re down another man.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 07:20 PM ET
Great Freaking Kill, and draw a penalty!!!
Time to pot one—zap some mojo from DAL
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 07:20 PM ET
Turckey nearly got himself into a whole heap of trouble there…
NOW WTF IS IT?!?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:20 PM ET
Jesus...what a call on Stuart. Thanks Gary. Ass.

Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 07:21 PM ET
OZZIE!
He’s listening. He’s listening…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:22 PM ET
A hold on Dallas. About frigging time.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 07:23 PM ET
I know, lets play some of this game in the DAL end
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 07:24 PM ET
nice passes zipping around the zone.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 07:24 PM ET
Datsyuk is on frigging fire. I’m just sayin.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 07:25 PM ET
Shortened PP, but with these refs that may be the best we’ll get. Let’s make some hay.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:25 PM ET
More traffic. Man, where’s the Mule?
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 07:27 PM ET
Turco’s losing it...loooosing it.
That’s what happens when all you see for more than half a game is Tomas Holmstrom’s fat ass.
Good for Homer!
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/10/08 at 07:28 PM ET
A penalty and then a reckless swat out of midair. Turckey’s slowly falling apart…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:29 PM ET
The turk is getting a mite testy. A couple more sets of 2 minutes and he’ll be on the bench.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 07:29 PM ET
DAL feeling a little pressure now—about freaking time
Can we please SCORE damnit
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 07:30 PM ET
That’s right Little Douche… Marty’s just doing what he has to do… why don’t you try doing what YOU’re suppossed to do?
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/10/08 at 07:31 PM ET
How the hell do you call homer for diving on that?? he was swinging at the loose puck as he was falling. That tells you where his focus was.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 07:32 PM ET
How the hell do you get a penalty for being cross checked.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/10/08 at 07:32 PM ET
Diving on Homer, when he was *#$%@& cross-checked.
Sleep with one eye open, refs.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:33 PM ET
Good work 4th line. Could do with a few less penalties from Chelli
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 07:38 PM ET
bad calls or not. We’re in the box way too much. Gonna come back to bite us.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 07:39 PM ET
Enough with the calls on our guys. How about paying attention to the Stars’ penalty-worthy actions?
I can haz power play?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:40 PM ET
Couldn’t agree more Chief!!!
Because we have been playing too much in our own zone.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 07:42 PM ET
Still up by one after two, and playing good tight defensive hockey (yes, been forced to by all the penalties, but still...).
I’ll take it.
We could use another one, but if it’s a strong lockdown third, then whatever.
Steve Ott making excuses for Turckey’s slashing.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 07:45 PM ET
Turco doesn’t look good. He’s pissed, he nearly been beat a few times, esp on that shorty attempt. If the wings can get a little sustained pressure i think he’ll give up a softie or two
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/10/08 at 07:45 PM ET
SHOTS ON GOAL 1st 2nd T
Dallas 4 8 12
Detroit 12 9 21
Considering DET took 5 penalties in the 2nd (as oppossed to DAL 3)
I guess DET was lucky to get out of the 2nd unscathed
DET better start carrying the play more—in the DAL zone
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 07:46 PM ET
Just got in from kid’s football game...how about a ten word synopsis? Anyone?

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
