commentary...

last night's game against the Carolina Hurricanes was strange... the first period was scoreless,and for the fourteen minutes of the second period,the Red Wings led 1-0,but again these are the Red Wings,and recently,strange bounces happen... two rebounds,and puck bounces off players led to two Hurricanes' goals basically from point blank range(less than six feet away),for a Hurricanes' 2-1 lead,after two periods(and my anger over lousy play went off like a stick of dynamite)... i was pissed,because the overall play of the Red Wings,over the last month pushed me to the thought of turning off the television(it has been manure)... i just could not believe it... for a team who has beaten Carolina Hurricanes seventeen times,of the last nineteen games(17-1-1),at home,the Red Wings looked like the Keystone Kops,through that horrid six minute stretch of game time... i calmed down,when the Red Wings scored in the first two minutes of the third period,to tie game,at two,and then a beautiful pass to Pavel Datsyuk,from Henrik Zetterberg ended my anxiety,when Datsyuk scored the game winning goal(GWG),but honestly,i still had no idea if the Red Wings could hold the 3-2 lead to the end of the game... they did,but the way that Red Wings have played the last month,it still turned my stomach a few times,before the buzzer sounded to end the game... note:only a blown 3-0 lead by the Pittsburgh Penguins(a 4-3 overtime win by the Ottawa Senators) ruined my night,because a Ottawa loss in regulation would have clinched a Red Wings' Stanley Cup playoff berth...
