game score,and commentary...

Penguins 5,Red Wings 4,shootout loss... very good game for fans... Red Wings got a good point,tonight... for over thirty seven minutes,Red Wings were dead meat,and actually had chance to win game in third period,when short-handed,Darren Helm got absolutely robbed,by Brent Johnson,late in third period,on a perfect two-on-one(odd man) rush... Mike Modano scored his first goal,since coming back from lacerated tendon injury,to tie game,at 4,and then got robbed by Johnson,in shootout,too... good basic game,and a very important point,for the Red Wings... down 4-0,with less than three minutes to play in second period,you expect to lose,but to force a shootout,at 4-4,was very huge for the Red Wings... i am very happy... it made up for Saturday,when referees cost the Red Wings a point,in my own opinion... three points up on San Jose,for second place in Western Conference,and nine points up on Chicago,and Nashville,in Central Division,where Detroit have won seven of last eight division titles,and it looks like they will win Central Division,this year,for their eighth division title,in nine years...
