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.

I want Homer to score and then skate straight to the ref and yell “wave THAT off mutherfucker!”
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/14/08 at 08:18 PM ET
Still, it is nice to get back in Turco’s head
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/14/08 at 08:18 PM ET
At least Turco’s finally getting a close up view of Homer’s ass
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/14/08 at 08:18 PM ET
Can’t wait to hear all the rationalizations as to why that wasn’t a goal. Go fack yourselves.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/14/08 at 08:18 PM ET
I’m not too stressed, pretty sanguine about the whole thing. It’s not like we’re playing a dangerous opponent and NEED that goal.

once again the Versus announcers have no idea wtf they’re talking about. of the 7 criteria for reviewing a goal, here’s #7:
(viii) The video review process shall be permitted to assist the referees in determining the legitimacy of all potential goals (e.g. to ensure they are “good hockey goals”).

Chief—maybe need to turn the filter on
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/14/08 at 08:19 PM ET
aw hell, that’s #8, so they don’t even know how many there are!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/14/08 at 08:19 PM ET
It would be interesting to compare Smyth’s disallowed/interference stats versus Homer.
Something tells me Homer is getting more of the Swede treatment.
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/14/08 at 08:20 PM ET
I thought they got rid of that ridiculous skate-in-the-crease rule after Hull’s Cup clincher
Posted by Matt from Chicago on 05/14/08 at 08:20 PM ET
The Ice is much slushier today. Everyone is having trouble with the puck.
and Ozzie saves us again.
Posted by Osrt on 05/14/08 at 08:21 PM ET
Shots this period 8 DET, 2 DAL
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/14/08 at 08:21 PM ET
Dub, don’t you sully the name of The Mule!
That should be a horse’s butt.
“London Calling” on the PA in Dallas? After that Zamboni, that’s also pretty cool.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 08:21 PM ET
Lurker having to chime in here.
Sutherland has done that twice to Homer this year. The game against Anaheim in February or so and now this.
Did Homer bang his wife or what?
Posted by HockeyJoe from NY on 05/14/08 at 08:21 PM ET
Turk is shaking in his crease, but this time the rest of the team is making up for him.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/14/08 at 08:23 PM ET
This game is freaking rediculous. Even if the goal in the first game was interference that game was over anyway. This goal is so much bigger. Wings score first game is over.
Posted by Wings for President on 05/14/08 at 08:23 PM ET
How the hell did I end up on the stress train? I’ve been pretty smooth sailing up to this point. Sheesh. Someone get me a drink.
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/14/08 at 08:23 PM ET
Everyone knows Turkey needs a pacifier to calm himself. Why is it the refs job to give him one.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/14/08 at 08:23 PM ET
Safe assumption Hockey Joe.
Wings are buzzing. They’ll win this game by 2. At least.
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/14/08 at 08:23 PM ET
I’ll shine my spot-light on the painfully obvious, DET is really starting to buzz!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/14/08 at 08:24 PM ET
Ref waved it off cuz it’s gotta be Buckets on the sheet first. Ka.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 08:24 PM ET
Sutherland has done that twice to Homer this year.
Good memory. Guess who’s not going to ref the finals
Posted by Osrt on 05/14/08 at 08:24 PM ET
Only a matter of time before Turkey cracks.
Posted by J.J. from kansas on 05/14/08 at 08:24 PM ET
Pissed off enough to score hopefully.
Posted by PB on 05/14/08 at 08:25 PM ET
Osrt - I’m honestly shocked Sutherland has made it this far, I was left unimpressed with his ability to work and control a game all year.
Posted by HockeyJoe from NY on 05/14/08 at 08:26 PM ET
Technically, Cleary drew a penalty on his empty netter.
One hand on your stick (and pushing with the other - visible on the replay) is holding according to current NHL rules.
Posted by lilja4ever on 05/14/08 at 08:27 PM ET
those benchside interviews are wah-tawd-ded
I freaking hate the in-game on-bench/bench-side/near-bench interviews.
What do they really expect the players or coaches to say at that time???
Posted by Jennemy of the Skate from putting the b*tches in the box on 05/14/08 at 08:28 PM ET
the story so far is that Turco and the Stars have been damn lucky.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/14/08 at 08:28 PM ET
Get OVER YOURSELVES Dallas, lousy ice does not a penalty make…
And Wings back on the PP!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 08:28 PM ET
We get another crack at the PP
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/14/08 at 08:28 PM ET
Heh. Try, try, try again.
Time to break this game open, boys.
Posted by jrl123 on 05/14/08 at 08:29 PM ET
Ott should burn.
Posted by Wings for President on 05/14/08 at 08:29 PM ET
Oh and why do they keep making a big deal about a player being in the crease?
I keep hearing this crap all the time. Oh he was in the crease, he was in the crease, its no goal.
Do they even read the rule book?
Homer can be in the crease as long as he isn’t interfering with the goaltender, which he wasn’t.
Posted by PB on 05/14/08 at 08:30 PM ET
I mean it, too-- even the home players, used to this slush, are losing their footing. Non-traditional hockey market...hell, it’s a non-traditional WINTER market.
“Ice? Whut’s dat?”
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 08:31 PM ET
get. samuelsson. off. the. point.
Agreed, what ever happened to Stuie and Kronner? He’ll Cheli know’s how to handle himself back there.
Posted by Nate A from Dark side of the moon on 05/14/08 at 08:31 PM ET
Do they even read the rule book?
Since when have we ever credited the Vs. announcers with intelligence?
Reading the book would get in the way of “good TV”
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/14/08 at 08:32 PM ET
Reading the book would get in the way of “good TV”
Since WHEN is Versus ‘good TV?’
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/14/08 at 08:33 PM ET
If the refs can’t be expected to read the rulebooks, why should the Versus announcers?
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/14/08 at 08:34 PM ET
I know Samuelsson brings other qualities to the game with his defense and forecheck. But my god he’s pathetic in so many other areas. I’d rather see abbadabamfingdoo.

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
Head to Hockeytown
Blogs the Chief Likes
Referee knows he missed the call too… I would like to see them change the rule next year to make that reviewable.
