As usual, I’ll be aboard for the drop of the puck. It’s essential that you leave all adult pretense behind. There is no room, and I’m serious, for mature thought.
It’s a Game 4 Live Blog. Finish it.

If the Wings can just make it to the neutral zone I’d call it a small victory.

“Holding the stick”...isn’t that what Pronger is doing right about now?
I believe that’s what we call ‘stickhandling,’ Matt.

Wings are chasing and not checking. intermission Babcock needs to remind them to HIT SOMEBODY.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/14/08 at 07:42 PM ET
Good defense leads to good offense. Patience, grasshopper.
Posted by mudshark from Divetown, Colorado on 05/14/08 at 07:43 PM ET
Well, Dallas won that period, 0-0
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/14/08 at 07:43 PM ET
Something tells me the Wings will come out a little harder in the second. I’m thinking Uncle Mike may have a few words.
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/14/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Ozzie was the star that period.
Posted by aaron from phoenix, that makes me a transplant on 05/14/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Survival—thats all you can call what DET did.
Of course DAL didn’t do squat with their PP.
Babs has to remind them just what in the hell they are all about!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/14/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Datsyuk, Samuelsson, and McCarty? wtf is going on?
That’s what I was noticing earlier. Is that just middle of change stuff?
Wasn’t Mac just coming out of the penalty box joining pk?
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/14/08 at 07:46 PM ET
So Stars, all that work and you’re only one bad Turckey save away from being behind…again.
Now that’s suffocating defense. Second let’s have some American Airlines Center air-draining offense.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 07:46 PM ET
Babs will be spitting fire and pissing vinegar -
Ozzie and Henrik Selke saved the Wings’ bacon for sure.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/14/08 at 07:47 PM ET
Heh heh…TSN commentator just said ‘Lots of spunk.’
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 07:48 PM ET
Detroit held serve there. Dallas may be in the locker room right now thinking that they had a good period and it’s only a matter of time. The more realistic scenario is that each of the Stars are thinking to themselves “What do we have to do to score a goal on these guys?!”

Just what are you intimating Andrew 
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/14/08 at 07:49 PM ET
Time on ice pretty balanced among the forwards so far, despite the 3 PK. 4-5 min for the big guys, around 3 for the secondary scoring.
Dmen are far crazier. Lebda only had 2 and a half minutes. Stuie had an insane 9 minutes. Even Lids only had 7.

Chief:

Me too Chief, wonder if Baroque will be there to translate!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/14/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Stars are getting the non-calls and Wings are getting the mickey-mouse calls.
There won’t be any evening up.
Saw the same in Pitsburgh and once the Pens got up 2-0,
the officiating got real neutral.
Little gary wants a Saturday game on National TV.

Marty’s gotta be feeling lonely. He’s gone far too long without Homer’s ass in his face.
Posted by Dave on 05/14/08 at 07:51 PM ET
Sorry I’m late. Read Chief’s directive for abandoning adult behavior so here goes… Booga, Booga, Booga.

I’m going to call Filppula with the game winner

I’m thinking we may have a new nickname for Sasquatch.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 07:54 PM ET
Versus just pointed out that Crosby is “quietly leading the NHL in playoff points”. of course, Zetterberg is only one point behind.
Crosby 4 goals 15 assists
Zetterberg 9 goals 9 assists
of course, the real story is Zetterberg is +13 while Crosby is only +5. how in the hell is he only +5 with 19 points?!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/14/08 at 07:55 PM ET
OH MY GOD A PIMPED-OUT LOWRIDER ZAMBONI FULL OF ICE GIRLS!!!
That may just be the coolest thing ever.
I’m not saying we should go easy on Dallas because of it, but still…sweet.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 07:56 PM ET
YES! It’s the Just For Men touch of grey commercial! I love the defense in that pickup basketball game.
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/14/08 at 07:57 PM ET
Ice girls… schmiche girls. There’s no cheerleaders in hockey! Argh.
There’s blood and guts and Hanson brothers.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/14/08 at 07:58 PM ET
DAL six mins of PP, 2 shots total!!
Ineptitude at its finest.

Screw the Zamboni, but at least they get the ice girls right.

Fackload of those points come on the PP, and he’s useless five-on-five?
I’m still reeling from ghetto-fabulousness, so I’m too stunned to check.

That may be the greatest line I’ve ever heard from a female.
You Rock Girl!!!

that’s the thing…PP points to count toward your +/-, nor does getting scored on during a PK count either. +/- is calculated for 5-on-5 play ONLY (or 4-on-4 also I believe).
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/14/08 at 08:00 PM ET

Yeah, that is totally sweet. Best thing Dallas has done this series. I kid, I kid.

I’m all about the old time hockey Okie.

You say that because you’re of the female persuasion. They’re as traditional as Mr. Hockey, clutching and grabbing, and players named ‘Red.’
Besides, it’d be weird for ANYONE to drool over the Hanson Brothers, be they man or woman.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 08:02 PM ET
Datsyuk blatantly hooked down, ref staring right at it…no call.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/14/08 at 08:02 PM ET
5-on-5 play ONLY (or 4-on-4 also I believe).
Pretty sure you do get a minus if you’re scored on during your power play.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/14/08 at 08:03 PM ET
Dang, I really want to see Mac put one in.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/14/08 at 08:05 PM ET

scored ON while on the PP, yes…as in the other team scores a shorthanded goal. but when YOU score on YOUR PP you do not get a +.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/14/08 at 08:05 PM ET
Definitely beatable tonite boys (and girls).
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/14/08 at 08:05 PM ET
Wings starting to play more in the DAL zone!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/14/08 at 08:07 PM ET
Anybody hear anything on Franzen today?

I think it was game 3 when DAL had to work like hell to score, and DET answered emphatically, every time.
Stars and Turco are DET’s bitches
