analysis of game...

Red Wings did look tired last night,but gutted out a victory,against one tough team,in the Coyotes...Nicklas Lidstrom,Dan Cleary,and Henrik Zetterberg,all scored for the Red Wings... Cleary had a fortuitous bounce,by the net,and basically swatted the puck,in a open net(in first period),then Lidstrom rocketed puck into net through some players,from about 55 feet,to tie game in third period,and Zetterberg then backhanded puck into net,in overtime,to win it... Phoenix played well,and did,at times,outplay Red Wings,but i could tell Red Wings did not want to lose game,after that bad third period,against Vancouver,when they were outshot by Canucks,23-7,in third period,and even though Howard had a bad game against Vancouver,he was not going to lose game,to Coyotes... he got bowled over,by the same player(landing on his face,and not moving once)but he refused to come out,and showed guts and grit... must be sore today,i think... Red Wings are 9-3-1,winners of seven of last nine games,and they really did bounce back,from getting their hats handed to them,by Vancouver,in that bad third period...
