commentary...

simply said,the Predators got every break,and puck bounce,last night,and it was nasty,but the Predators may have lighted a fuse,in the Red Wings that they may want to extinguish,but can not,because the penalties they can live with,but the play after the play(the extra shots when play stopped,especially the double tap,of Henrik Zetterberg's head off the glass,at end of game)showed the utter contempt of the Predators toward the Red Wings,and maybe just a little over-confidence,on their part... unfortunately,they seem to forget that the game score,was 3-2,not 8-2,and that the Red Wings had,at least,two stone cold chances,in the game,to score goals,from inches away,and yet,the puck bounces did not go the Red Wings' way... besides the referees' insistence to call the game tighter than a lid on the pickle jar,they missed quite a few calls,on both teams,and the referees simply stunk... as a fan,i feel the Red Wings did not need extra motivation,to beat the Predators,but the shots that the Predators put on the Red Wings,with relish,will be remembered,if not in this series,then next season,and the seasons to come... Coach Trotz may want to apologize,and put out the fire,in the Red Wings' belly,but i am sorry,Barry,you lose,and you may have started a real nasty fight that you simply can not win,ultimately...
