Bandwidth can be a cruel mistress, but I promise that the multimedia post subsequent to the Red Wings' 2-0 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 4 of their second-round series--which is this thing right here--will include more links and fewer auto-play videos. Learning on the fly here, folks (and both We All Bleed Red on YouTube and I wonder what the hell Duncan Keith said to Al Sobotka before Al twirled the pre-game octopus).

Anyway, here are the game's highlights from the Wings' website, as narrated by the CBC's Bob Cole:

ESPN posted a 3:19 clip in which Barry Melrose and Steve Levy discussed the game, NBC posted a 1:24 highlight clip, the CBC posted a 2:50 highlight clip, Sportsnet posted a 2:21 highlight clip,TSN posted a 27-highlight clip and Comcast Sportsnet Chicago posted a 3:11 highlight clip:

A2Y interns from Northern Michigan University came upon this goldmine of a conversation minutes ago on Twitter...

@halfpint

Gordie Howe shook their goalie's hand.   Gordie. Howe.

@maryingalls

They were supposed to be rebuilding! Fuch.

AHL Playoffs Second Round

Blog: The Puck Stops Here By PuckStopsHere

The second round of the AHL playoffs completed yesterday.  My first round coverage was here.  Here are the results from the second round:

Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins defeat Providence Bruins four games to three.  Wilkes-Barre/Scranton is the Pittsburgh Penguins farm team and Providence belongs to the Boston Bruins.  Providence had a 3-0 lead in this series and Wilkes-Barre/Scranton fought their way back to win the series with four straight wins.  Trevor Smith and Chad Kolarik were the top scorers for the Penguins.  Brian Dumoulin led their defence.  Brad Thiessen played very well in their goal.  Chris Bourque and Carter Camper led the Providence offence.  Matt Bartowski had been their top defenceman until he got called up in the playoffs.  This may be an excuse for the Providence loss.  Niklas Svedberg was their goaltender.

Red Wings-Blackhawks Game 4 quick take: stranglehold

Blog: The Malik Report By George Malik

05/23/13 at 10:51 PM ET | Comments (17)

Upated 5x with tons of video at 11:51 PM: Very briefly: Red Wings goaltender Jimmy Howard was nothing less than a superstar and the Detroit Red Wings played, well...Ugly hockey on Thursday night, mucking, grinding and just plain old out-working the Chicago Blackhawks en route to a 2-0 win and taking 3-1 series lead heading into Game 5 on Saturday. Howard earned the shutout on 28 saes.

Jakub Kindl scored the only goal the Wings would need (on the power play, no less)...

The Red Wings stood up to Bryan Bickell and all the Hawks tried to throw at them in terms of mucking, grinding and playing a nasty game...

The West Is On Fire

And it's burning to the tune of "Chelsea Dagger."  

I'd love to tell the naysayers to suck it, but I'd be telling myself to suck it and that's just awkward.

This is absolutely insane.  Discuss as you see fit and I'm sure George will be right behind me with a 5000 word recap that he'll call "quick".  All I can possibly type at this point is that, once again, this is the postseason none of us ever saw coming, but--because of who we are (Red Wing fans)--it's the one we deserve.

LGRW.  9 to 12 and 5 until this conference is burned to the ground once and for all by the team that kept it afloat and ruled it for twenty years.

I think I spelled "conflagration" right.  I think. I don't have time to worry about that.  I just don't. I'm way late for this Live Blog and there is just no time to waste.
