commentary...

i believe that last night's game,against the Nashville Predators,was a very good game,showing how scrappy this Red Wings' game can be... that is the good news... now for the bad news:Red Wings' goaltender Jimmy Howard left game,in the first period,with the "dreaded" upper-body injury(day to day?),and Cory Emmerton left game,but returned,after taking a puck to the face... Pavel Datsyuk had a memorable end to end rush,going through the entire team,on the way to shooting the puck over Predators' goaltender Pekka Rinne's shoulder,to tie game at three,but honestly the Red Wings' defense around Howard was still porous,and through seven road games,the Red Wings' power play has been invisible,and has not scored a goal,yet... it appears that the Red Wings' power play is still a work in progress,but come on,it has been frustrating to watch,because you may be thinking that they can even tip in a puck,after seven road games,but not yet... even one would help... Dan Clearly did score a short-handed goal,last night,so maybe,it will come...
