Red Wings' game score,and analysis of game...

Wild 4,Red Wings 3,overtime... not the best game played,and got a point,but honestly should have gotten two tonight ... out-played Wild most of the night,but lapses in defense around net,and a very determined Wild team,cost Red Wings a point,and with a goal,by Mikko Koivu,at 18:37,of third period,and a overtime goal,by John Madden,with 42 seconds,left in overtime,the Wild won only their second game of last nine that they have played,in Detroit... still best in Western Cconference;Los Angeles lost in Buffalo,4-2,and no matter what Chicago,or St. Louis does tonight,the only thing they could tonight is to close the gap,on Detroit... Jimmy Howard did not have a great game,in goal,but honestly the Red Wings' defense really was poor around net,in last half of game,especially in third period... Minnesota played good defense,except in second,when Detroit peppered Jose Theodore,and came on with peppering him most of third period,but Howard had actually a very poor game in goal,and defense around their net,was below average,for a Red Wings' team that offensively,were running circles,around Wild,most of the night,out-shooting Wild,44-27,overall,but you can not win them all... Red Wings play Calgary,next,in last game,of six game homestand,where they have gotten nine of ten points,so far,with one game to go(4-0-1),actually not too bad,but win tonight,was very possible.... drat!!!!!
