Another Dominating Performance Gives Wings 3-2 Advantage in Series
The Detroit Red Wings are back on track and looking to close out this forsaken series. Tonight the Wings came out hungry and more determined on the ice to coast to a 4-1 victory over the Anaheim Ducks. The first period was relatively slow due to Jonas Hiller in net. The Wings took many shots at him once again, but could not put it in the back of the net. The Ducks seemed a tad tentative in the first for some reason and really looked uncomfortable out there. The second period was one of Detroit's finer periods of the post season as Johan Franzen netted a goal and 39 seconds later Jiri Hudler batted a puck out of mid air to give the Wings a 2-0 lead. Late in the period the Ducks cut into the lead with a power play goal from defenseman Ryan Whitney. The 2nd period ended with a 2-1 score thanks to an amazing glove save from the Wizard of Oz.
The 3rd period started and saw much of the same action throughout, the Wings dominated defensively but couldn't seem to put the game away. Late in the game Darren Helm scored his first goal of the post season, and anyone that knows me knows that I am a gigantic supporter of Helm stating on multiple occassions that he is the hardest working player in the NHL. The game ended with an empty netter from Henrik Zetterberg sealing the 4-1 victory for the eventual Stanley Cup Champions.
