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.

Despite Refs’ Best Effort, Wings Remain In Lead. Thanks Gary.
(I’ll leave the eleventh word up to you.)

Maybe it’s me… or the new anti-depression drugs I’m taking… but I agree that, even though the Wings are getting a lot of penalties, they are controlling the game.

Mule head hurts Helm scores Ott Sucks Screw Turkey links
It’s not haiku, but you get the idea, Rumbear…

Ten word snyopsis eh?
Mule out. DAL top line dead. Ozy strong. Circus magic.

Hoorah… martini’s
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/10/08 at 07:55 PM ET
Very close game so far… Dallas is committed to the chip and chase, but the Wings are doing a good job keeping them outside. The absence of the Mule is being picked up well by the rest of the team.

Hits
DET 30
DAL 17
Faceoffs, DET 30 something, DAL 9
Next goal may very well determine who wins this game

Martini is an adult beverage? Someone should have told my parents.
I guess that explains one thing or another.

Only 12 shots on goal for the Stars. If the Wings can stay out of the penalty box [heh] they can hopefully lock the Stars down in the 3rd.
Posted by Dave on 05/10/08 at 07:57 PM ET
Marty’s gonna blow it this period. The ghost of Joe Louis haunts him.

I want to see a softy for us, as a prelude to a Turckey melt (down) in Game 3…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 08:01 PM ET
The squirrels in Turco’s head are running!
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 05/10/08 at 08:02 PM ET
Lord Helmet working on that predicted hat trick.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 08:03 PM ET
Dave—the shot and hit differential is huge right now.
we are all they can handle, I would just like to see another goal for comfort.
namu myoho renge kyo
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/10/08 at 08:03 PM ET
Nice odd man break for the Wings there!!
DAL sure hasn’t started the 3rd with the energy they had in the 2nd
Hopefully they used up all their go power
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 08:04 PM ET
Ribero breaks in and shoots it square into Ozzies logo—brilliant
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 08:06 PM ET
Ozzie standing tall again. Giving us a chance to take the wind out of their sails.
Now let’s capitalize on those chances.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 08:06 PM ET
Dallas is just KILLING us when it comes to checking the boards tonite…

Yeah, and Wings are countering by going very short shifts right now. Expect the fatigue to factor in at about 12:00.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 08:07 PM ET
This dump and no chase crap is not gonna fly, guys… Ozzie saves our bacon yet again.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 08:07 PM ET
Wow, good work Ozy and back checkers.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 08:07 PM ET
Nate, I think fatigue is already here…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 08:09 PM ET
oh fatigue is definitely here, but with rested wings, it should be even more pronounced.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 08:10 PM ET
Ribeiro looks like Wolf Man....pretty creepy fella.
Posted by yreland from Paul MacLean's Moustache on 05/10/08 at 08:11 PM ET
That call better be against Bubba…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 08:12 PM ET
4th line draws the penalty. Top line is rested. The stage is set.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 08:12 PM ET

I thought you meant the other way. We look like we’re skating in sand most of this period and the last…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 08:12 PM ET
Fourth line drew that penalty nicely.
Now let’s get the insurance goal, PLEASE?
PP’s been working so well, that’s not too much to ask, right?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/10/08 at 08:13 PM ET
Wings to the PP
For the love of octupus, and to save my cats skin,
CAN WE PLEASE SCORE
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 08:13 PM ET
Hopefully the PP gets some good looks…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 08:13 PM ET
Great work from Mac and Helm. I think they may have played two minutes, max, in the second. Looks like Uncle Mike’s gonna use them a bit more here, especially with Bubba’s tired D.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 08:13 PM ET
Turdco looking a little rattled
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 08:14 PM ET
Turkey is such a beeyotch. I’m ashamed to be from the same state as him…
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 08:15 PM ET
Wow, what a diver. 4.0 from the Russian judge.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/10/08 at 08:15 PM ET
Olcyk can bite my hairy sac...always crying about every little thing about the Wings. Shut up Edso (douche)
Posted by yreland from Paul MacLean's Moustache on 05/10/08 at 08:15 PM ET
and Turco ‘accidentally’ knocks his net off the pegs
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/10/08 at 08:15 PM ET
Call him Captain Hook… Thanks, Gary. Ass.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 08:16 PM ET
Ohhhhh… I get it. It’s okay for Turdco to pop anyone when he feels like it… what would happen if Homer did the EXACT same thing to him… Hmmmm
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/10/08 at 08:16 PM ET
The Mule’s absence is felt pretty strongly, especially on our 2nd power play unit.
Posted by PDXWing from Portland, OR on 05/10/08 at 08:17 PM ET
BTW, Howie Long wants you to buy him some lunch.
I’d like somebody to buy Turkey Legs some lunch.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 08:17 PM ET
UGHHH—I think I’ll head back to the club car for the duration of this game
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/10/08 at 08:18 PM ET
@ PDXWing
I thought the same thing. That unit just ain’t anywhere near as dangerous w/o the Mule.
Posted by Dave on 05/10/08 at 08:20 PM ET
Plan on starting the one goal pace at the five minute mark.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/10/08 at 08:20 PM ET
Great. Icing is always nice, especially with eight left and a one-goal lead.
At least the Circus is out there.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/10/08 at 08:20 PM ET
Wings do look to have more energy in this period

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
