Game 2: Detroit 3, Chicago 2 In Overtime
Detroit leads the series 2-0
The Blackhawks are a good team, but I'm not surprised by how this has been turning out. Detroit's experience is absolutely the difference here, and while Chicago has made stars from their young talent, they're showing to need more experience than what they have in order to beat the Wings.
Chris Osgood was absolutely tested tonight and made 37 saves to bring his team to victory. The line of Mikael Samuelsson, Jiri Hudler, and Valtteri Filppula were once again dominate for a third line and generated the game winner. Dan Cleary got the go-ahead goal in regulation while Brian Rafalski converted on a power play, quite possibly getting his first goal since coming back from injury.
To his credit, Jonathan Toews did everything in his power to keep the team in the hunt while Nikolai Khabibulin had an otherwise remarkable 35 saves. But it wasn't enough though, and not only did Dan Cleary once again get an unassisted goal on a turnover, but the Brian Campbell turnover in overtime ultimately lead to Detroit's game winner. Chicago's gonna have to tighten it up if they want to even have a chance to be competitive this series.
This game generated another "Ouch!" moment, as Brent Seabrook took a slap shot off the hairy gumdrops. I don't care if you're wearing a cup; that stuff still hurts!
Game 3 is Friday at 8PM EST in Chicago. It'll be broadcast on... you guessed it, versus.
