From Sports Illustrated,
Although Pavel Datsyuk officially is being called a game-time decision, the Red Wings’ star center will miss Game 3 of the Western Conference Final Friday.
More...but no further details on how that confirmation came about.

I hear ya. MacLeod couldn’t confirm either.

It’s easy for an outlet that doesn’t have a lot of credibility in the sport to just guess here. If Farber’s wrong, he says his ‘source’ had it wrong and hockey fans go on ignoring SI’s coverage. If he’s right, his guess pays off and he looks like the guy who got the jump on everybody.
To be clear, I think Datsyuk’s out tonight too, but I’m calling that on gut feeling. Also, I don’t claim to be a journalist.

Well, Jessie (from Bingo Bango) reported this on her blog. I am speculating that he will be out for tonight’s game.
I’m watching you, Filppula. VooX, a double of Jameson’s and a pint of 250 G, please.

No worries - IMHO he only misses one game max. It will be sore for a few days and he’s playing by Sunday.

Everytime I read these posts a little peice of me dies!
My head says don’t worry we have depth, i look at the scoring leaders and it confirms this. My head also tells me we have experience, these guys have been there before, know how to win and want that feeling again. My head also says that Pav simply hasn’t been producing the goods these playoffs.
mmmm screw you head, we need Pav and like it or not I’m stressed as hell, this is a BIG game tonight, BH win and they are flying Wing win and they are dead simple as.
Hossa step up? the dude has been a ghost so far he’s basically become what everyone said he was prior to the pens cup run, a good reguar season player but no good in the playoffs. My best, Charlie Buckets to the rescue he has heart and freakin golden stick!
6 to 12 bitches RED WINGS ROCK!!!

The year? I thought so......
I’ve said this before, we are a very deep TEAM.
And the crowd in front of the bar in the Hasek is just as deep. Can’t even see VooX. May need to go directly to the IV drip of rum for this one. I’ll be in my corner in the back....

I figure that, because they’re up 2-0 they’re willing to let him take the extra time. If it was 1-1 he’d be playing. That said, if they win tonight, maybe they let him sit on Sunday, get the extra rest so that he doesn’t have to play till he’s 100%.

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’ve said this before, we are a very deep TEAM.
Time for someone (or two, or three, ... ) (Hoss?) to pick-up the difference.
Uncle Mike will adjust. We’ll be fine, right?
ALL ABOARD!!!
The Stress Train is now boarding!
GO WINGS!!!
