commentary,and analysis...

after Boston scored only 1:29,into first period,and leading,2-1(on a ole' play,by Ruslan Salei,by just waving stick at puck,and not skating,into Bruins' player,allowing him to put puck past Jimmy Howard),after one period... Red Wings dominated game for the last two periods... Howard played very good in goal,and the Red Wings' defense refused to allow Bruins any good shots in front of Howard,the last two periods... Todd Bertuzzi must love Boston,because he scored two more goals(and four goals,against Boston)... Pavel Datsyuk scored again,(second goal,in three games),and Kris Draper is heating up,with a goal too... Red Wings lighted up Tuukka Rask,and Tim Thomas,for ten goals,in last two games(Thomas gave up five goals,in four periods,after relieving Rask,for third period,on Friday),and Thomas led NHL,in goals against average(1.91),and save percentage(.941)going into weekend,but Red Wings put it to Thomas,and to the Bruins... Jimmy Howard have given up only five goals,in last three games,and Red Wings have tightened up their defense,recently,and they are getting healthy,finally... they have people coming back(Brad Stuart,and Mike Modano;Stuart by end of month,and Modano,about a week,or so,after that)... the only team that impressed me more than Red Wings,right now,is Vancouver,in Western Conference,so i pity the NHL,going into the homestretch,and run for the playoffs... Nashville is up and down,right now,losing to Edmonton,4-0,at home,recently,is enough proof to say that,and Chicago(defending Stanley Cup Champions)is in the mud of the season,playing like an inconsistent team,all year,and in third place in Central Division,behind Detroit and Nashville,who is seven points,behind Detroit,right now(74 points,to 67 points,and Detroit has 34 wins,to Nashville's 30 wins)... Detroit has 17 wins,both on the road,and at home,perfect balance...
