commentary...

Red Wings dominated game last night,in a way that i have not seen all year,so far... they came out playing very very tough,getting every puck that they could get to,and Pavel Datsyuk,and Nicklas Lidstrom have played their best games,and Lidstrom have started this season,like he is 30 years old(he is not... ha,ha),and Datsyuk has had puck control,like the puck has been on a string,for him... Red Wings have had eight straight games with,at least,one power play goal,but their percentage on the power play is not up to their standards,yet... Nashville came into Detroit,winners of their first road games,and basically got out-played,by Red Wings... Predators got pasted with 5 goals in game,and Pekka Rinne stunk up Joe Louis Arena,by giving up,not one soft goal,but actually,five soft goals,in game,when Rinne gave up two goals,from inches,and one game-winner that was shot from less than a foot,and i do mean that the three goals were three different shots,from less than a foot;two stuffs past his pads,and then you had game-winner shot,from about six inches,by Datsyuk,you know that you are having a bad day in goal... Chris Osgood came up with a solid workman-type effort,for his 398th NHL win... Nashville's defense,around the net,was like butter,all night...
