game score,and commentary...

Red Wings 3,Sharks 2... perfect six game homestand... twenty three straight home wins... San Jose,overall,did not play well... the two San Jose goals were scored by Logan Couture,on a Detroit own goal,when the puck was tipped,into the air,and onto the Red Wings' net... when it dropped onto ice it was hit into the net with a Red Wings' player's glove,before it hit the ice,and Patrick Marleau,when the puck bounced off Joey MacDonald's left leg,sat by his knee,and was slapped in by Marleau,from three feet... the difference in this game,and the others played by these teams,in the recent past,was the Red Wings allowed very few odd-man rushes,and made very few mistakes,in their defensive zone... Henrik Zetterberg,Drew Miller,and Darren Helm scored for the Red Wings... not their best game,could nit-pick,but a win is a win,and after the frustrations that the Red Wings have had with the Sharks over the last couple of years,they did deserve to win this game,because they simply played better than the Sharks,today... maybe the Red Wings will meet the Sharks in the playoffs,again... this time,maybe they may be the better team....
