I had every intention of going with Seger. But..I gave it some thought this morning and I’m thinking it’s not time for a change. Lightfoot got us here and he’ll get us home. I love that line, and was going to save it for the Finals, but thought today was a good time to break it out.
It’s a Game 5 Live Blog. In a musty Joe Louis, 20,000 are praying for a trip back to where the Wings belong.
Press down. Hard.

Suck it Diggers...there’s your secondary scoring.
I asked Santa for a favor and he sent one of his elves to make it happen.

Gotta go pick up my daughter between periods from ‘behind the wheel driver’s ed’ - thank God for DVR pause, I’ll catch up during the second period.

Interesting thought, maybe Hudler should get a few shifts on the second line?

Kopf—better late than never!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:11 PM ET
keep skating you Red Bitches!
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/17/08 at 01:12 PM ET
and why didn’t Z’s highlight reel opportunity materialize? he was tripped.
nice call refs.
oh, wait…
Posted by PaulinMiamiBeach on 05/17/08 at 01:13 PM ET
Nick on a breakaway-- you don’t see that often.
Sammy fanning on a shot-- you see that too often.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:13 PM ET
Kronner—with the Smoke!!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:14 PM ET
Soft Euros, eh Cherry you dumb ass?
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/17/08 at 01:14 PM ET
Good effort from Cleary. Great freight train hit from Kronner!
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/17/08 at 01:14 PM ET
Were the Stars known for physical play and big hits? I can’t remember. 
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:14 PM ET
Hey Jenny Pooh.. where were #55’s skates that hit?
DECAPITATION. Beiotch.
Posted by MOWingsFan19 from KC MO on 05/17/08 at 01:15 PM ET
Wings have really picked up the pace—Thank God!!!
Keep the tempo up!!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:15 PM ET
Next goal decides the winner.
Posted by HockeyTownTodd from upset when blogs don’t live up to my expectations on 05/17/08 at 01:17 PM ET
Has Cherry ever shown any of Kronner’s hits? or does he try to pretend they never happened so he can keep up with the “soft Euros” crap?
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/17/08 at 01:17 PM ET
Red Wings best 4 x 4 man ever? #91.
catch up with you 8a8tard8 after I pick up my daughter.
Posted by RWBill from jabbing a six inch sewing needle into my eye. on 05/17/08 at 01:18 PM ET
Of all the times for the dish to cut out…
From what I saw, we deserved a four-on-four goal.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:18 PM ET
Next goal decides the winner.
Gotta disagree. If the Wings score next i think Dallas folds, but the reverse is not true. The wings have a much more explosive offense than Dallas
Posted by wingsfanindenver on 05/17/08 at 01:19 PM ET
I’m sure you heard, but it is worth repeating, at one time the shots were 8 - 3 DAL,
at the end of the 1st 14- 10 DET
SOOO DET outshot DAL 11 - 2 in the last part of the 1st --
Keep em rolling Mike, keep em rolling!!
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:19 PM ET
Whiskey is on its way…
The playoffs suck.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:21 PM ET
I LOVE Dallas Drake… in a completely hetero, manly kind of way. He is playing like his life depended on it. Desperation hockey… IMPOSE YOUR WILL.
Posted by Mike from La-La Land on 05/17/08 at 01:21 PM ET
I hate to say it, but Z’s hurting.
Unfortunately I agree Gabe, he is really laboring in the corners. Not nearly as strong on the puck as usual.
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:22 PM ET
I honestly don’t know what’s harder to watch: Dallas scoring first, or the trainwreck career of an emasculated Cuba Gooding Jr. as he prances in his underwear.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/17/08 at 01:22 PM ET
I hate to say it, but Z’s hurting.
Did you notice this at the start or after a bit of play?
I saw him get tripped/jarred in a corner about half way through the period and he was on his knee, not getting up right away. I thought I was just seeing things, maybe being paranoid about the length he was just kneeling there, but maybe I wasn’t…
Posted by movesfan13 from Grand Rapids, MI on 05/17/08 at 01:24 PM ET
I think it is just that he’s got a bad wheel. He’ll get it fixed at intermission.
Posted by moore00 from the Ohio State University on 05/17/08 at 01:24 PM ET
Feck-- low on whiskey. Moving onto the absinthe then...it’s the playoffs. They suck.
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:26 PM ET
Back from a seminar...caught the tail end of the period. Wings seem to be finding a stride.
Comment from the wife re the Refs..."C’mon when a girl from SoCal can see the foul on Homer...” the rest falls in to the remove head from sphincter category.
Second period...
Press down. Hard.
Amen to that.
Posted by Rumbear from Sandy Eggo on 05/17/08 at 01:26 PM ET
I agree, the Z is not looking right. Something’s off.
On the flipside, Huds is looking wicked fast. Someone must have given him a few extra jellybeans this morning.
Cleary...Danny...I’m STILL WAITING.
Posted by disch from bat country on 05/17/08 at 01:27 PM ET
Movesfan, yep, he got rocked a little bit into the game and wasn’t playing the same afterward.
Win today and he gets to rest for a few days.
Posted by Gabriel from San Diego, CA on 05/17/08 at 01:27 PM ET
And all the talk about Zetterberg is giving me an excuse to drink. Another reason why this shit NEEDS to end tonight…
Posted by AndrewFromAnnArbor on 05/17/08 at 01:27 PM ET
I honestly don’t know what’s harder to watch: Dallas scoring first, or the trainwreck career of an emasculated Cuba Gooding Jr. as he prances in his underwear.
I couldn’t agree more Gabe. In fact, I was thinking the same thing during that commercial. He was decent actor, for chrissakes, what happened?
Posted by WingBitch from Virginia on 05/17/08 at 01:28 PM ET
I’ll also say this—Drake is playing with the kind of furor that generates goodwill from the hockey gods. $10 says he pots one this game…
Posted by disch from bat country on 05/17/08 at 01:29 PM ET
I’m praying it’s just a skate, but Z is holding his shoulders like his back is starting to tighten.
Posted by J.J. from kansas on 05/17/08 at 01:29 PM ET
Disch—Cleary and Fil have been going strong to the net this game --
I bet they pot one tonite! Ohh this afternoon,
Thanks Gary. Ass
Posted by Jeff OKWingnut from Hockey Netherworld on 05/17/08 at 01:29 PM ET
Should I call my wife and let her know she can come back in the house?
As long as she brings more beer?
Posted by IwoCPO from Washington, DC on 05/17/08 at 01:30 PM ET
for chrissakes, what happened?
From “Show me the Money!” to show me the underwear.....

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
