commentary...

Daniel Alfordsson scored twice,including twenty six seconds into the first period,along with game winner,on a power play,in overtime... Joakim Andersson scored in second period,as the Red Wings came out pissed,and determined to shoot more pucks to the net,from opening puck drop,and even though Calgary scored twice to tie game up twice(Mikael Backlund,in the first period,and Mark Giordano,in the second period),the Red Wings never trailed in game... they were sharp,and they had an edge to their play... it was Detroit's first overtime win,in twelve tries,and second of the year... it was also Detroit's first win in seven games-a much needed win,period... i enjoyed watching the game,because the Red Wings finally played Red Wings' hockey,tonight,and most of the injured stars on the team should be playing altogether by New Year's Day... Jimmy Howard even practiced today in the early team skate,which is a good thing... a much needed two points,period...
