End of game/series
Some final thoughts on this game.
-Franzen is unbelievable right now.
-So is Ozzie
-So is [insert Red Wings Player name here]
-I'm still not a fan of the Vs commentators. I counted many times that they mispronounced names, their 3rd period ramble KILLED me, and the end interview with Franzen... squid????? Um, it's an octopus dude...
Well, we're into the Western Conference Finals again and we're rolling on all cylinders. I can't wait for the next series!

9:30ish 3rd
Ok, so here is what has happened so far. Samuelsson scored again. 8-1 Detroit. The refs are also feeling sorry for the Avs. Lilja was called for a high-sticking penalty that never made contact above the Avs forward waist. Horrible call. THEN Drake was called on a delay of game for being hit into the Detroit net... the Avs followed this up with a PP goal that Ozzie actually got a piece of through a screen. 8-2 Wings.

I HOPE that I'm not speaking too soon, but it looks as if the Avs are not going to head hunt this game. I hope. I really don't like that the Wings are still pressuring. I understand why they are, but 7-1 is embarassing, and... I can't believe I'm saying this... I want the Wings to save face for the Avs. There's no shame in that.

THE WIZARD!!
End of 2nd
Hear that? That's right, the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado... home of the Colorado Avalanche, is chanting "Ozzie, Ozzie!" for the outstanding play of Wings goalie Chris Osgood. I earlier posted a comment on how I thought the Avs fans were class-less... I still believe that! ;) If it hadn't been for the hundreds of Colorado fans filing out of their seats and the fact that probably 25% of the arena are Red Wings fan, I may have changed my mind.
7-1 Detroit.

Changed my mind...

I've decided that the Avs woes have not been the fault of Theodore. Jose, I'm sorry I've blamed you the entire series. The Avs lost the first 3 and probably this one also, because of the shotty coaching of J. Quenneville.
Quick sidebar, Franzen has ANOTHER hat-trick! The Mule, along with the Twins, are single handedly killing the Avs. That's 9 goals.
So back to Quenneville, it is his fault. Theodore should not have played if he was not feeling well. Not just in game 1, but definitely game 2. He should have done what Babcock did as soon as Hasek fell apart in game 4. Give the goalie the benefit of the doubt for the first one, but certainly not the second one. You need a new coach, Colorado.

Lalala!
8:00ish 2nd
Yep, she's clearing her throat! SH goal by Franzen (giving him 8 in the series) with Hank assisting (he now has 4 points in the game). Ozzie has proven his number 1 status and the Avs are crashing. Homer just got lit up again. The Wings need to be careful not to get hurt now.

Is she singing yet?
14:15 2nd
Hank scores again! I am really starting to feel sorry for the Avs. This is a schlaking. 5-1 Detroit and there wasn't 1 Avs player whose head wasn't looking down at their feet, on the ice and on the bench.
So a quick overview of the game so far.
-Franzen has continued his freakish goal streak. He has 7 in this series now.
-Zetterberg has 3 points, 2 goals and an assist on Homer's goal. His latest goal was a spin-o-rama-no-looker over Budaj's shoulder.
-Datsyuk has 3 assists. The Euro-twins, Sasha and Pasha, or whatever you want to call them, are single handedly beating Colorado
-Theodore was pulled after the 1st period. He allowed 3 goals, two of them 47 seconds apart inside the closing 2 minutes.
-Osgood is shutting the door on all of the Avs chances, sans the 1 goal.
-Wings coach Mike Babcock is starting to rest some of the players. The commentators just announced that Chelios was sent to the dressing room with a "lower body injury." One announcer spoke to Cheli when he left and asked if he was OK. Cheli was said to have "annoyingly" shook his head yes. Resting the old man!
