commentary...

the game against the Bruins was almost too easy... the Red Wings seemed to step faster to the puck,and they played great team defense,blocking shot after shot,and even though the Red Wings did not have a power play all day,they killed off a critical two man advantage for the Bruins midway through the third period,that gave the Red Wings the motivation to fend off a late charge,and goal by the Bruins,and win the game,3-2... Boston played their second game in two days,and third game in five days,as did the Red Wings,but the motivation of the 4-1 loss that the Red Wings suffered in Boston,last week,gave the Red Wings just enough jump in their game to win a close game,with last year's Eastern Conference Champions... a very good road win...
