commentary...

Damien Brunner scored a shootout goal(the only shootout goal between Detroit,and Columbus)that defies description,as the Detroit Red Wings fought like dogs,scratched,and clawed for their first win of the 2013 NHL season... goaltender Jimmy Howard played very well,as the Red Wings even fought back from a 3-2 deficit,when Pavel Datsyuk scored a highlight goal,to tie game,at three... odd trivia,this year:who scored the very first goal,for the Red Wings? a little known rookie,who was playing his NHL debut,and was called up,from Grand Rapids,the same day? one,Brian Lashoff... the Red Wings play much better than against the St. Louis Blues,when they got steamrolled,and crushed opening night... that is a plus...
