Red Wings' game score,and commentary...

Blue Jackets 3,Red Wings 2,shootout... basically a lost weekend,points-wise... getting only one point,of a possible four points... sloppy game,and bad ice,for both teams... Henrik Zetterberg,and Pavel Datsyuk have gone ice cold offensively,even though Datsyuk did score a shootout goal,which does not count in stats,for the season... the Blue Jackets out-played,and out-fought the Red Wings the entire weekend... the lousy ice surface caused by mild weather,in Detroit,caused the puck to stick to the ice,on many occasions,for both teams(over-skating the puck)led directly to second goal,by the Blue Jackets,when three Red Wings' players had chance to clear the puck,and then R.J. Umberger put the puck past Red Wings' goaltender Jimmy Howard,as he relaxed,thinking the puck would be cleared... Jakub Kindl,and Johan Franzen scored for the Red Wings(Franzen in third period,on a two man advantage power play,early in third period),and Derick Brassard,and Umberger scored for the Blue Jackets,in regulation... Ryan Johansen,and Matt Calvert both made Howard look like a rookie just called from Grand Rapids,on both their stunningly beautiful dekes,and goals,in the shootout... the Blue Jackets,and the Red Wings,did have some offense in the second period,scoring three goals in 1:15,early in second period(Blue Jackets,then Red Wings,30 seconds later,and finally the Blue Jackets scored 45 seconds after that),to take a 2-1 lead into third period,but the Red Wings were on a two man advantage,at the end of the second period,and then Franzen roofed a chip shot,over Blue Jackets' goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky,to tie game,at two,then a very sloppy,because of the bad ice surface,and physical game ensued until shootout... NOT THE PRETTIEST GAME ON ICE...
