game score,and commentary...

Blackhawks 3,Red Wings 2... overtime loss... good game,but key was the point gotten by the Red Wings,because Red Wings are in second place in Western Conference,and San Jose does not play until the last day of the month,and Detroit plays St. Louis,Wednesday,before the Sharks play on Thursday... there is a possibility that Jimmy Howard can play Wednesday,against St. Louis,or Saturday,against Nashville... Todd Bertuzzi got ejected for elbowing Ryan Johnson,for a five minute major penalty,in first period,but good thing that Johnson came back in the game,later on,in first period,and actually got a penalty,in first period... what happens to Bertuzzi is a crap shoot... his penalty was deserved,but the NHL(the three stooges)may not suspend him for a game,or two,because of the health of Ryan Johnson,but again i expect something,in extra discipline,for Bertuzzi... Joey MacDonald had a very good game,in goal,in place of Howard,for,at least,this game... Nicklas Lidstrom set some NHL history,tonight,when he recorded his 60th point,with a goal,in first period... no defenseman over 40 has scored more than him,this year... Hall of Fame member Ray Bourque had set the record,with 59 points,in 2000-2001,when he played for the Avalanche(his second year,after playing almost 21 years,in Boston)* *he was traded at trade deadline,to Colorado,in 1999-2000...
