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.

That certainly qualifies as my “retardedly-awesome” moment from Z. One Kronner decapitation and I can hit the sack.
Nice snag, Ozzie…

4 goals on 15 shots for DET hmmmm

someone needs to make a beachball photoshop with turco on his ass like that
Posted by scheisskopf on 05/12/08 at 09:04 PM ET
Incidentally, Disch, it’ll probably be lost in the elation over the insurance goal, but I think I love your analogy so much I want to take it home and have sex with it, a few kids, marry it and grow old with it.
The Circus being well-rested, and our best defensive line...a good thing. Uncle Mike is a deviously cunning bastard.

Big time kill—again
Like Gary wants to keep Dal in it
Thanks Gary. Ass

jeebus, i think they’re forgetting that a PP means they spend time in the Wing’s zone
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/12/08 at 09:05 PM ET
It would have been nice for Z to get another shorty.

Senior’s booing. Cousins must not be giving it up in the upper bowl.

Who’s on the power play again?
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 05/12/08 at 09:06 PM ET
Wheels coming off the bus for DAL
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 09:07 PM ET
Geez… Draper is playing his ass off tonight. He’s hitting people, he’s winning faceoffs, he’s putting the pressure on.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/12/08 at 09:07 PM ET
Another good PK. Nearly another shortie.
Skate to the throat, boys. Do this thing.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 09:08 PM ET
Kronner nearly got his nightly slam in along the benches. Puck arrived and left just a bit to soon.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/12/08 at 09:10 PM ET
“Draper is not a large man, but boy, does he ever play large with those hips.”
Did I hear that right?
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/12/08 at 09:10 PM ET
Like a cat playin’ with a mouse I tells ya… that is if I still had a cat. Damn the playoffs.

4 goals on only 16 shots? Maybe Turco has the flu.
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 05/12/08 at 09:10 PM ET
Mike emerick just basically said “they’re one shot away from being one shot away”
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/12/08 at 09:11 PM ET
Ott running DATS after the play—bastard
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 09:11 PM ET
Ott needs to go to the box and feel shame. That was a crappy hit.
Posted by WingBitch from Virginia on 05/12/08 at 09:12 PM ET
Heya boys and girls -
Damn, I feel alive.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 05/12/08 at 09:12 PM ET
Noted, Andrew.
Damn, Z...another almost shortie...that’s just mean.
Next round of predictions: D-Mac/Ott fight; breakaway save by Ozzie; a G from Buckets just to get him going.
Still waiting on the Kronner moment of head-removing greatness.
Put yourselves in Dallas’ shoes right now: You need two goals and you’re getting a healthy dose of the circus...still fresh...both our most sound defensive line and the most potent offensive line they’ve seen all year. It’s just not a good time to be wearing black.

Nah, probably just a bad case of vaginitis
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/12/08 at 09:12 PM ET
No penalty call is a terrible decision by the refs. They’re asking for this game to get out of hand in the waning moments.

Heya boys and girls -
Damn, I feel alive.
That will never get old Dub. Lifting again, eh?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 09:13 PM ET
I didn’t hear the hips part, Matt. But I hope that’s not what he said.
Posted by WingBitch from Virginia on 05/12/08 at 09:14 PM ET
Good thing Dats is the most aware player ever. I don’t think he ever gets fully hit.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/12/08 at 09:14 PM ET
Morrow hurt too! Almost makes up for Modano still being out there.
Ozzie with a HUGE save...Story of these playoffs.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 09:14 PM ET
He’s a closer. He knows that’s his piece of ass. He takes care of business.
That was beautiful. I’ve got tears man.
Posted by bearit from San Ho-say on 05/12/08 at 09:14 PM ET
now Morrow is shaken up. but remember, Grapes, the Wings are soft…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 09:15 PM ET
DET getting to all the loose pucks and winning the battles
DAL has no gas in the tank
just saying

Morrow did it to himself too, even better.
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/12/08 at 09:17 PM ET
Stars have 2 shots and 2 power plays in 10 minutes.
Game over, man.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/12/08 at 09:17 PM ET
I have never seen a better shutdown game that has such an aggressive edge, as I have with the Wings this year. They wait for the opposition to make one aggressive move and strike back with an odd man rush.
Posted by VooX from Behind the Bar in the Hasek Club Car on 05/12/08 at 09:18 PM ET
They’re like the head of the chess club trying to bang the lead cheerleader. One night, he’s really on top of his game. He’s got all the lines. He’s got his look just right and he just waxed the family Roadmaster. After working it all night, he’s got the cheerleader alone in the corner of the party. They’re both drunk enough to consider what might happen. But then, just when he goes to make his move, the first string quarterback (The Wings), who’s been shotgunning beers all night and playing air guitar to Journey, comes up, grabs the cheerleader by the g-string, throws her over his shoulder, gives the chess guy the finger and pounds her out in the back of his ‘Stang.
He’s a closer. He knows that’s his piece of ass. He takes care of business.
I had to go back and find that in the thread. I’ve seen children born, ships sail, wars won and victory parades. Rarely have I been as proud as I am right now.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 09:18 PM ET
Jesus, still on the bench. Morrow is either a real tough competitor and legitimate captain material...or else he’s a real big idiot.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 09:19 PM ET
I’m just sayin’. This reminds me of Game 4 against Bubba Jr.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 09:19 PM ET
Chief, you old softie.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/12/08 at 09:20 PM ET
Anybody else seem to think that Sammy passes shen he should shoot
and shoot when he should pass
damn good thing he is getting better defensively
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 09:20 PM ET
I just saw the replay of Morrow screwing up his own arm on VS. The commentooters crack me up: “Its not ‘sposed to go that way. Heh, heh, heh...” Well, duh, ass.
Posted by WingBitch from Virginia on 05/12/08 at 09:21 PM ET
Edzo and Dick are busy sucking up to the Wings now. Too bad Pierre the Douche Canoe McGuire couldn’t be here for this. Ass

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
