commentary...

yesterday afternoon's game,a 4-2 win for Red Wings,was one tight hard-fought game,but Columbus has one major drawback,not enough firepower,and if a goaltender is hot,for another team,they are dead in water... they have Rick Nash(a great player),but if you put a collar on him,you have an excellent chance to beat them... one game,a couple years ago,Nash scored a hat trick,for Columbus,and "he" beat Detroit,that game,3-2... Jimmy Howard gave up only three goals,to Columbus,in both home and home games this last weekend,and Nash did not get a whiff of a goal,because Howard was stellar,in goal... Steve Mason was also very good,in first game,in a 2-1 win for the Red Wings,but was not as good,yesterday,giving up three,of the four goals that the Red Wings scored(an empty net goal was scored,and is not counted against his save percentage,or goals against average),but Detroit were hungrier,and fighting for pucks,throughout game,and wanting the win more,it seemed to me....
