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.

Disch, Cheli deserves third star tonite. Zetterberg, Datsyuk, Chelios.

Anybody else seem to think that Sammy passes shen he should shoot
and shoot when he should pass
Jeff, I’ve been thinking that all season. Especially true manning the point on the power play. So many shots into the shins of the opponent.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/12/08 at 09:22 PM ET
Shots on goal this period
DET 6
DAL 3
and DAL is the team that needs to score twice, and oh yeah
they had 4 mins of PP time this period

I dunno, Chief—Game 4 didn’t have this edge, nor did it look this good with only a little over five to go.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 09:23 PM ET
At this point in Game 4 against little Bubba, Andrew? I was about to type, “this looks a lot like ‘98.”
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/12/08 at 09:24 PM ET
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.
Damn, Chief. You’re makin’ me tear up too. A regular Patton. Crap, shouldn’t say that to a Navy man, should I? oops.

Wings are playing a supreme game of keepaway. Dallas must be frustrated as hell right now…and tired.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 09:24 PM ET
Cheli deserves 3rd star, but as things stand now, betcha Hudler gets it for the current winner.
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/12/08 at 09:25 PM ET
Damn, Z’s goal reminds me of Mac’s game 4 goal in the ‘97 finals.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/12/08 at 09:25 PM ET
He’s been roughing bitches up all night out there like a Baltimore collection agency.
And Disch does it again! *#$%@& man, teach me to write like you…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 09:25 PM ET
Can we just have Z tow him in out in front of the net and leave him?
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
Posted by WingBitch from Virginia on 05/12/08 at 09:26 PM ET
Chief—That’s not the first time I’ve been compared to the child berthing process. I’ve got an employer and a few ex girlfriends who might back you up on that. Just know, you’re in good company.
Posted by disch from bat country on 05/12/08 at 09:26 PM ET
A regular Patton. Crap, shouldn’t say that to a Navy man, should I? oops.
WB, Wings close this thing out in 4 and you can even call me Air Force.
Wait a minute…
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/12/08 at 09:26 PM ET
I can’t keep up with all the comments (friggin’ dial-up) and I sure this has been pointed out, but there’s a female behind the Stars bench with some huge freakin’ cans.
Posted by O-Joe on 05/12/08 at 09:27 PM ET
Is it just me that Versus has just blacked out?
Posted by Hap from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/12/08 at 09:27 PM ET
HATS FOR DATS!!

Sorry Chief, I was thinking of the more recent series. Agreed.
I’ll get me coat…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 09:27 PM ET
Dats with the hat-trick
1st of his career
eat that bitches
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/12/08 at 09:28 PM ET
HAT TRICK FOR DATS!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/12/08 at 09:28 PM ET
Datsyuk scores his first ever hat trick.
He stepped up today and was the best defensive player as well tonight. Way to go Pasha!!

“We don’t think much of them on a personal, character level. We think that’s to our advantage.”
Eat that Marty. And, yeah, you’re a bitch.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/12/08 at 09:28 PM ET
called Dats’ hatrick…
Z beat 4 guys….4 motherfucking guys…4
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 09:28 PM ET
Dats has the hat trick and the first star!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 09:28 PM ET
Fiancee goes to bed early and its time for total Wings geek-out with A2Y. with players like Datsyuk and Zetterberg, this isn’t even fair. And neither of them a first rounder. And the oompa loompa scores the go ahead. Amazing. Steve Ott is classless.
Remember when Melrose said the Stars did so well in getting Richards at the deadline? And the Wings had a dissappointing day? Who would you take now, Stuart or Richards?
DATSYUK! ZETTERBERG! DATSYUK HAT TRICK! THE CIRCUS!!!!!

What was that old song Don Meredith used to sing on MNF…?
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/12/08 at 09:29 PM ET
Ass-freaking kicking of the highest order
in a game DAL has to have!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/12/08 at 09:29 PM ET
Dats!
I can’t believe that’s his first career hat trick.
Posted by Modnar from Cincinnati, OH on 05/12/08 at 09:29 PM ET
Watchout for the cheap-shots boys
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/12/08 at 09:30 PM ET
Chief, I’m from an Air Force family. Just sayin’...
Posted by WingBitch from Virginia on 05/12/08 at 09:30 PM ET
I think Rafalski should be one of the stars of the game; he has been absolutely amazing.
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 09:30 PM ET
should we start calling Marty “Vagisil”
And yes, before you ask, i like poop jokes too
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/12/08 at 09:32 PM ET
The broken nose shot of Drake…that big gash looks just about right, doesn’t it? Like a hood ornament on a Benz.
Good on ya, Dallas…
Posted by disch from bat country on 05/12/08 at 09:32 PM ET
Ozzie still making the big saves.
Maltby on the PP…how often do you get to say that?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 09:32 PM ET
Oh, NOW they call penalties.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/12/08 at 09:32 PM ET
I can’t believe that’s Dats first hat trick either. Quell suprise!
Posted by WingBitch from Virginia on 05/12/08 at 09:33 PM ET
Marty give up 5 on 21 shots SWEET
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/12/08 at 09:33 PM ET
Well, DAL thought they played well in game 2. Wonder what they think about this one?
Posted by Nate A from Detroit-ish on 05/12/08 at 09:34 PM ET
Game. Set. Series. Score first Wednesday. Score again. Stay healthy. Coast on in. Most impressive shutdown performance from a Wing team in ten years.
All hail Uncle Mike.
5.

Two player thoughts:
Cheli playing a strong game tonight. Even that second goal when he was on the ice, he looked strong. He’s been roughing bitches up all night out there like a Baltimore collection agency.
Homer…god bless him, but he looks like shit skating out there. Can we just have Z tow him in out in front of the net and leave him?
