commentary...

if you liked defense,the game between the Blackhawks,and the Red Wings was your cup of tea,but for the average fan,it was a snorefest... Red Wings' goaltender Jimmy Howard,and Blackhawks' goaltender Corey Crawford had great games,each allowing one goal,in regulation... Blackhawks' defenseman Duncan Keith scored early in the first period,and Red Wings' forward,Johan Franzen scored early in third period,and then Blackhawks' defenseman Nick Leddy scored,on Howard,to win game in overtime... defensively,both teams played great,but offensively,both teams really sucked... point of series:the Blackhawks have won nine of the last thirteen games,and the last nine games between the teams have been decided by one goal...
