Red Wings 4,Edmonton Oilers 2... what is wrong with the Oilers is simple? even though,Sam Gagner has scored four goals,against the Red Wings,in last two games,nobody else has had a sniff at the net,in a major offensive way,against Red Wings... Gagner is on a major roll,but even since his eight point night,against Chicago(boo hoo,for that,ha ha!!!!!!),the Oilers,basically,have been an one man team offensively,and that was not going to beat the Red Wings,this night... Johan Franzen and Cory Emmerton,scored in first period,and second period,respectively,then Gagner scored two goals(second period,and early in third period)to tie game,at two,but the Red Wings dominated the second half,of the third period,with Drew Miller,and Henrik Zetterberg scoring 3:58,apart to close out the Oilers,and win their 18th straight home game,in a row...
Red Wings 2, Ducks 1,shootout win... this game was simply nasty,and Anaheim tried to rough up the Red Wings,by baiting them into tough,and rough stuff... George Parros,who is more known as a fighter,than a scorer,scored the Ducks' lone goal,by directing the puck past Joey MacDonald,off a skate,and then Justin Abdelkader,of the Red Wings,scored 2:25 later,to tie game,at one,in the first period... that was all the scoring,in the game,until the shootout,when Todd Bertuzzi flipped a backhand shot,over Ducks' goaltender Jonas Hiller,to end game... both Hiller,and MacDonald had outstanding games,but the Red Wings had more patience,because of the rough stuff throughout the game,and the Ducks took too many penalties,and did not play their usual good game(shooting pucks,and playing conservatively,hoping for Red Wings' mistakes)... there were very few Red Wings' mistakes to take advantage of,and even though the game went to a shootout,Joey Mac Donald was stellar,in shoootout,for win number 19,in a row,at home...
Red Wings 4,Flyers 3... this game had a feel of a playoff game... both teams were ready to play at puck drop,and both teams did not give an inch,and fought to win the battles,and game... Niklas Kronwall scored first,for an one-nil lead,for the Red Wings,then Brayden Schenn scored twice,to tie game at one,at end of first period,then scored early in second period to give a 2-1 lead,but Red Wings traded goals,with Pavel Datsyuk,and Henrik Zetterberg scoring goals,with Max Talbot,for the Flyers scoring in between the two second period Red Wings' goals,to tie game,at three,going into third period... the Red Wings were on the power play early in third period(they scored two power play goals,in game),when Johan Franzen scored game-winner,52 seconds into third period... the rest of the game was very tightly fought,but clean,with Joey MacDonald coming up very big,in goal,with Red Wings playing playoff-type defense,as they kept the Flyers on the fringe,of their defensive zone,and blocking all ten of the Flyers' shots,for win number 20,in a row,at home...
