A muddy track deepinthehearta. Sloggy and slushy. Haze frigging gray and underway. As it should be.
Wings win tonite? Game, set, series. Wings lose? Start shoveling coal because we’ve got ourselves a Stress Train Special.
It’s a Game 3 Live Blog. Commence your conversations. The only mandate is juvenilicity. I’ll join you when they drop the puck.
Updated 1940 EST: Wanna guess who said this?
“We don’t think much of them on a personal, character level. We think that’s to our advantage.”
Yep. Turco.

Yeah, the ice is TERRIBLE. I wanted to withold judgment, but this slush sucks.
Still, Morrow misses a wide open net. Mojo. I’m just sayin’.

Tollowing tpic‘s lead, here’s a little bit of Pavel magic from last nite.

Similar to the Grier collision a while back.
how the hell did Datsyuk know that hit was coming? must be those eyes in the back of his head. I’ve noticed before, and now I think even more, that he looks at the reflections in the glass to see what’s happening behind him.

Lilja4ever, I HAVE noticed that as we’re tearing into the Stars, the ones leaping to their defense are...Dive fans. Not a Stars fan to be seen.
Well, the Dives know old time hockey! How could they not share their insight?

Ah crap.

DAMMIT. Richards was due for something, but that was bad.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 08:12 PM ET
Gotta start playing in their end. Neutral zone TO resulted in that goal.

Homer out now…

I know that brand of humor may be beneath most of you, but I frigging love the Sasquatch commercials.

Dallas played “What should have been the Stanley Cup champs in Round 2?”
Come on, TSN guys, you’re not that stupid, are you?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 08:19 PM ET
I’m staying with the theory that DAL has no gas in the tank later in the game.
DET just needs to pot the next one
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 08:21 PM ET
No, they just mistook The Ramones for AC/DC...they ARE that dumb.
Ozzie saving an odd-man rush.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 08:22 PM ET
I’m saying it now...BUCKETS IS DUE
Posted by disch from bat country on 05/12/08 at 08:23 PM ET
Homer gets mugged like it’s ‘98.
Posted by MOWingsFan19 from KC MO on 05/12/08 at 08:24 PM ET
When the Flying Circus is on the ice, DAL is petrified of them, they dont try to make a play out of their zone, just get the puck out
DET is getting some neutral zone t/o, may make us a chance before the night is done
Just get the next goal.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 08:24 PM ET
OOMPA LOOMPA LOOPIDY-FREAKING-DOO!!!

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
