Live Blog - Round 3, Game 3 - Detroit 5, Anaheim 0

How is Homer? Getting your head between Prongers elbow, R. Neidermayer's forearm and the glass cannot feel too well. Pronger should be out too. They should check it. Pronger should go. PRONGER SHOULD GO. I HATE HIM. HIT HIM IN THE CHEST WITH THE PUCK AND HE'LL GO DOWN!
