commentary...

last night's game between the Anaheim Ducks,and the Red Wings was a good game... now for the basics:the Red Wings stormed out of the gate to a 2-0 lead,four minutes and twenty seconds into the game(Justin Abdelkader:forty eight seconds into game,and Damien Brunner scored in that time,and then Johan Franzen scored twice early in the second period,and,again,early in third period,as the Red Wings built up a 4-1 lead,with just under nineteen minutes to play in the game... the Ducks then stormed back with three goals in nine minutes,and forty eight seconds to tie the game,at four... Ducks' captain Ryan Getzlaf,Kyle Palmieri,and Bobby Ryan scored the three goals,and as it appeared that the Ducks had momentum going into overtime,but then the key play happened:a slashing penalty on Sheldon Souray,as he slashed Justin Abdelkader,to put the Red Wings on the power play thirty eight seconds left,in the game,which meant that the Red Wings were on the power play,going into overtime,and the Red Wings cashed in for the win,with a beautiful pass through traffic,by Valtteri Filppula,to Gustav Nyquist,1:20,into overtime,who lifted the puck over Ducks' goaltender Jonas Hiller,who had no chance to stop the soft shot,over his head... the Red Wings had control of the game until the third period,when they basically stopped "skating"(doing what they were doing,shooting,and chasing the puck,and playing good defense),and allowed the Ducks to get back into the game,and they did,by scoring three goals,in 9:48,until the key slashing penalty that allowed the Red Wings to cash in on the power play,in overtime,and win the game,to tie series,at one apiece,as both teams go back to Detroit,for game three and four...
