NHL history,and commentary.......

Red Wings 3,Stars 1... two goals,by Henrik Zetterberg,and Brad Stuart,1:18 apart,in first period,was all the Red Wings needed... the Red Wings played defense,tonight,the way they played defense,in 2008,the year that they last won Stanley Cup... it was almost like i was watching a taped game,from 2008... they had twenty shots,in first period,and allowed Dallas only TWENTY ONE shots,in entire game,ten shots,in first period,six shots in second period,and only five in third period,and i believe that they had one shot on goal,for the first 17 minutes,of the final period... only a puck off a skate,in last 33 seconds into goal,ruined shutout,for Joey MacDonald.who made a save,late in the second period,that may have been the best save in NHL,this week,if not this year,for the Red Wings... Jiri Hudler added an insurance goal,at 15:11,of the third period,to ice game(a 3-0 lead),because the way that the Wings played defense,tonight,the only way that the Stars would win game after that goal,was if Red Wings were,as a team,to drop totally dead,on ice,and still the Stars would have lost game(laughing)... thought that would make you laugh....
