Update: “Sailor” should be capitalized. Baby steps Paul.
The sailor asked me to let you know he should be online around puck drop time.

Orst, Maltby is an agitator and slightly better defensively than Mac so… no problems here.

Game has sorta settled in some. DAL doesn’t seem to have, at least at the moment, a whole lot of “intensity”
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/08/08 at 07:04 PM ET
Kronner!!

Homer and his gigantic ass with the PP goal! bring it!
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:08 PM ET
oh, my bad. saw the big body in front, figured it was Homer…LOL
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:08 PM ET
SCORE!!! Woo Hoo!!!! MULE AGAIN!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/08/08 at 07:08 PM ET
Johan you magnificent bastard…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 07:09 PM ET
I wish Johan Franzen didn’t have a nickname before he got this big. We could call him Homer, Jr.
The kids could call him HoJu.

DAL is going to be scared to death to take penalties—DET two PP lines are both freaking lethal
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/08/08 at 07:11 PM ET
Nice start.
The Chief’s boat probably broke.
“Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream…”

Dallas’ passes are sloppy.
another PP for the Wings, all as a result of poor passing by Dallas.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:14 PM ET
DAL is JUST like COL—they cannot keep up with DET speed
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/08/08 at 07:14 PM ET
Maybe they are used to the poor ice in Dallas. Both teams looked like incompetent passers in that series, no matter how good the players actually were.
I think it would be funny if Drake gets a goal against Dallas.
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/08/08 at 07:16 PM ET
I think it would be funnier if Turco sat on the bench in a puddle of his own pee.
Posted by Osrt on 05/08/08 at 07:17 PM ET
Lots o buzz from DET at the end of the period there.
DET PP is looking lethal
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/08/08 at 07:18 PM ET
Is it just me or does it seem like this Red Wing team has that aura of a champion about them?
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 07:20 PM ET
I don’t think the two things are mutually exclusive. Why not both?
I wonder if, between these two teams, Sweden has anyone left to play in the World Championships?
Posted by Baroque from Michigan on 05/08/08 at 07:20 PM ET
Wow, the reffing (and linesmanning) in that period was absolutely atrocious. Maybe two of those penalties were earned, not to mention the incorrect offside call on Zubov on the Stars first power play, a phantom hand pass on Holmstrom on the Wings power play, the icing against the Stars where Lidstrom tipped the puck, and what looked like a high stick (the puck kind, not the penalty kind) by Datsyuk in the Wings zone on a power play. Unreal.
Weak period by the Stars, pretty good one by the Wings. But it’s been tough to tell with all those stupid penalties called.

SHOTS ON GOAL
1st T
Dallas 4 4
Detroit 12 12
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/08/08 at 07:25 PM ET
Good gravy Ed Olczyk is brutal. Blah blah blah Dallas blah blah blah Turco blah blah blah look how bad Kronwall messed up even though he had help and the play never developed blah..
Oh well, at least Douche Canoe isn’t there.
Posted by moocat on 05/08/08 at 07:27 PM ET
DAL has to be wondering what hit them. ANA and SJS are defense oriented.
DET is just as good (if not better defensively), but can actually light the lamp like a christmas tree!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/08/08 at 07:27 PM ET
Moocat, maybe we should refer to Eddie as the Douche Dingy…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 07:29 PM ET
SCORING SUMMARY:
1st Period
04:28 PPG - Brian Rafalski, Snap Shot - Assists: Nicklas Lidstrom and Tomas Holmstrom
15:34 PPG - Johan Franzen, Tip-In - Assists: Niklas Kronvall and Jiri Hudler
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/08/08 at 07:30 PM ET
You’re right B.
The refs were clearly trying to set a tone. 1) no extracurriculars; only one of you will go. 2) no hooking or holding, no matter where. 3) penalties are penalties even if you’re shorthanded.
My concern, however, is that different ref teams will call it differently. I assume some of that will be mitigated by what seems to be clear directives from high in the NHL office.
Posted by Osrt on 05/08/08 at 07:33 PM ET
Or as I like to refer to them… Big Douche and Little Douche.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 07:33 PM ET
Hey, could someone relay to Chief that the security of the United States takes a back seat to Red Wings playoff hockey?
Priorities, man, priorities.
Posted by TeamDub from The gratch. on 05/08/08 at 07:35 PM ET
Just saw and opened an email from Chief (sent at 6:40 CT) that said he was stuck in DC traffic, and not as I supposed shang-hai’d.
We’ll just have to keep the wheels of the Hasek Express well oiled!!

sitting back and waiting for your chances used to work against the Wings. apparently Dallas hasn’t got the message that this is no longer the case.
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:37 PM ET
Yea… and whenever he talks we can sing that Beach Boys classic… “My Little Douche Coupe”.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 07:38 PM ET
So I just got here and went right to the Hasek club car. It’s frigging empty. What?
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/08/08 at 07:38 PM ET
Damn no alarm going and weird NASN listings…but I’m in.
Just in time to miss what sounds like a first period better than any of us could have hoped, and to see Ozzie give us heart palpitations with what looked to be a ‘Bad Dom’ impersonation. And ‘rem55ember’ as the confirmation word…look out Joel Lundquist.
Oh well. Let’s Go Red Wings!
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/08/08 at 07:39 PM ET
somebody tell Dallas that they’re not supposed to pass the puck to the team in red.
on second thought…no, don’t tell them…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:39 PM ET
Chief, look over in the corner, under the seat, yea that’s me…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 07:40 PM ET
What’s with Olzyk and “would have been a break away”...
..and man..they’re really fellating Turco
Posted by Osrt on 05/08/08 at 07:41 PM ET
DAMN Z robbed, and Ozzie stands freaking HUGE
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Quest for 12 on 05/08/08 at 07:43 PM ET
“Turco has been the main thing here in the second period.”
moments later…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/08/08 at 07:44 PM ET
Paul, I just figured that was one of Dats’ more…conventional…takeaways.
Man, Homer’s really being a sucker for punishment tonight.
Z was robbed by Turco. At least Ozzie robbed Hagman in return. Dick Turpin’d proud of the pair of ‘em.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/08/08 at 07:44 PM ET
WTF… Ozzie makes a great save and all Little Douche can talk about is what a great save Turco makes…
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/08/08 at 07:45 PM ET
Little Douche is Olczyk or Emery?
Posted by IwoCPO from Sunny San Diego, bitches on 05/08/08 at 07:46 PM ET
Eddie
