commentary...

remember the 2009 Stanley Cup Finals:Red Wings won opening two games,but who won Stanley Cup? Pittsburgh... 2011 Stanley Cup playoffs,first round,Montreal beat Boston,in Boston,in first two games,but Boston won series,in seven games... so Red Wings are not out of the series,but mention last year,when Detroit lost to Sharks,in five,but you think back that game three was series breaker,and ball-breaker,to the Red Wings,when Red Wings dominated the first two periods,and almost had a 4-0 lead,in game,when Evgeni Nabokov stopped Henrik Zetterberg,on a penalty shot... that penalty shot was truly the turning point,in the series,because if the Red Wings score on that penalty shot-game over-that day,and then Red Wings destroyed Sharks,7-1,in game four... actually that series was closer than the series score-five games,four games,to one,Sharks... three 4-3 games,all wins by the Sharks,but pundits will not tell me that the Sharks were better,last year... if the Sharks do win series,i will applaud,out of respect,like i did,for the Sharks' last goal,last November 30th,remember,and take it like a true hockey fan... i have to give Antti Niemi respect,for the way that he is playing,against Detroit,with an unbelievable .966 save percentage,and he is the only reason that Red Wings are losing this series,but honestly,there are ways to beat him,by going to the net,and starting to dig for goals,and try to tip pucks,and block vision on the power play,and Detroit has not done much of that...
