commentary...

Red Wings came out real nasty,and when both teams had eight penalties,and a fight,in first period,Predators built up 3-0 lead,early in second period,scoring two goals,in 55 seconds,and Red Wings had disallowed goal,in first period(Tomas Holmstrom,again),and had at least two two-man advantages,against them,in first half of game,plus another fight,in the second period,so the Red Wings was up against the wall,down 3-0,when the Red Wings scored two goals,in 1:25,to get within,3-2,midway through the game... so Red Wings played defense,(what is that?)the rest of second period,to go into second intermission,down 3-2,and 3:59,into third period tied game,at three,when Justin Abdelkader scored his second goal... Todd Bertuzzi had two fights,with Shane O'Brien,of the Predators,both early in first period,and second period... Jakub Kindl scored his second goal,as a Red Wings player,and Dan Cleary scored game-winning goal,in overtime,and even Pekka Rinne complained about interference,and there was no interference on replay,just a dejected goaltender stalking off the ice... i have been looking for some spunk in the Red Wings,for some time,and Nashville(whose team slogan,is Smashville,this year)got smashed,finally,by the Red Wings,in a rather nasty game,but one that Red Wings had to win,rather badly,after being embarrassed,by St. Louis,10-3,last game... i loved the game,because the Red Wings simply refused to be pushed around,and literally fought,to win game,and i am very,very happy,to see them with some bruises,and a win...
