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.

Withstanding the first 10 minutes...absorb the force then snap back.

hey, the Wings player didn’t get his stick down on the faceoff. Dallas is cheating!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 07:21 PM ET
Datsyk is freaking amazing. How he controls the puck through all that I will never know. And he draws a penalty for his hard work! Awesome.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 07:22 PM ET
Drake hurt his knee in the last game… So I think he’s still feeling it.

Wings to the PP after Ozzie make another huge save!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:22 PM ET
Oompa Loompa with the hook—damn even up
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:23 PM ET
Hudler played the puck. what a load of home-team-officiating crap.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 07:23 PM ET
Wings need to get their act together soon. They’re looking a little sloppy right now.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/12/08 at 07:24 PM ET
what a bullshit call…
Posted by WingBitch on 05/12/08 at 07:24 PM ET
What a BS call.
Posted by aaron from phoenix, that makes me a transplant on 05/12/08 at 07:24 PM ET
Versus has no idea what the penalty was..and teh freaking camera man has no diea where the puck is...great combo
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 07:24 PM ET
WEAK call on Hudler!
Don’t make me hate the officials again tonight.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 07:24 PM ET
Dallas player had a handful of Oompa jersey but they call Happy for the hook....please
Posted by moocat on 05/12/08 at 07:24 PM ET
That wasn’t the penalty...he pulled down Morrow or whoever was heading toward our D.. it was a real penalty
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 07:25 PM ET
WHOOOO HOOOO!!!!
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/12/08 at 07:26 PM ET
yeah baby! they made the second odd man rush count!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 07:26 PM ET
One pet down. And Datsyuk is frigging amazing.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 07:26 PM ET
HELL YEAH! Guess you don’t have to sacrifice your pet.
Posted by WingBitch on 05/12/08 at 07:26 PM ET
DATS!
That’s called “making the most of your chances,” Stars. You paying attention?
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 07:26 PM ET
Gotta love Draper. After all these years, he’s still got some wheels.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/12/08 at 07:27 PM ET
I love it when the Stars help the Wings get in Turco’s head by pushing Wings into him.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 07:27 PM ET
Freaking server—can’t comment
Better late than never
DATS!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:28 PM ET
Drake should get double credit for that faceoff win as a winger and without his stick.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/12/08 at 07:28 PM ET
So what is it IwoCPO? Cat or dog? I need to know which so I can get mine lined up.
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/12/08 at 07:28 PM ET
Hoodlum and Helm have some chemistry. I think there’s a good shot they get something going tonight.
Posted by Dave on 05/12/08 at 07:29 PM ET
That last play was hot. Nice handling. Mmmmm…
Posted by WingBitch on 05/12/08 at 07:29 PM ET
Anyone else notice that the Wings are winning a good portion of the loose puck battles
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/12/08 at 07:29 PM ET
so now yanking a guy’s stick out of his hands at center ice isn’t a penalty? hmmmm....
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/12/08 at 07:29 PM ET
And the Datsyuk makes a great kick-pass too.
Ozzie looking sharp and alert. I’m thinking he wants to go 3-0 as bad as anyone on the team.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/12/08 at 07:29 PM ET
Couldn’t get the Versus feed going. Good thing there’s a TSN feed at

Hello? Z is missing a freakin tooth...anyone know how that happened?
Posted by Osrt on 05/12/08 at 07:30 PM ET
Chief, I just noticed my parakeet has a nasty cough… I’m just sayin’
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/12/08 at 07:30 PM ET
Definitely the cat lilja. That little bastard’s had it coming. Sailor? The dog? It’s going to take a lot for me to give up that lazy fat bastard.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/12/08 at 07:30 PM ET
Hoodlum and Helm have some chemistry. I think there’s a good shot they get something going tonight.
I’d have to agree. If nothing else, Helm’s insane speed draws all eyes to him while Huds can sneak into the opposite circle for a one-timer or rebound.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/12/08 at 07:31 PM ET
Hello? Z is missing a freakin tooth...anyone know how that happened?
Osrt, I noticed that too. But i have no idea how.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/12/08 at 07:32 PM ET
Two-on-two. I’m not familiar with that variety of odd-man rush, commentators.

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

I agree Andrew—I’m thinking DAL is playing on emotion—I really think they have little or no gas in the tank.
