commentary...

Red Wings wore Phoenix down,and beat a team,in the Coyotes that has won only three,of their last fourteen games,last night... the hero last night was Todd Bertuzzi,who scored his 299th NHL goal,during game,to tie game at 2,and a spinning backhand in shootout,to win fifth straight game,and even record on road,at 13,apiece... not the Red Wings' best game,but a game that showed NHL,and the team,that you need to win games,against teams that are struggling... the Red Wings have been struggling on the road,and simply unbelievable at home,just the opposite,from last year... from February 6th,this year on,the vast majority of games will be at Joe Louis Arena(18 of last 28 games,will be at JLA;that includes a four game road trip that starts in Nashville,and goes to California),most of the games in the Eastern time zone... so going into the playoffs,they should be rested,but again,where have i heard that before...
