The Pitts Looking Pitiful Vs. Red Wings In Game 5

Datsyuk is back and it's obvious!
Rafalski with a great pass up the ice to Pavel Datsyuk who crossed it over to Cleary. Cleary beats Fleury with a shot through the legs of a defenseman and just underneath glove of Fluery.1-0
End of the first period.
Beginning of the Second Period Datsyuk with awesome moves almost scores again. Shortly there after...
Osgood pass from behind his own net to Hossa who received the pass at the far blue line assisted to Filppula who just got off the bench and backhands it in. 2-0
Kronwall scores through three of the Penguins looking like a forward going right in front of the net after receiving a behind the net pass from Franzen. 3-0

Rafalski scored, nice screen by Holmstrom Fleury never even saw it! 4-0 Great pass from Datsyuk getting his second assist in this game. Pavel Datsyuk playing as if he never left, even though he was gone for 18 games! It's great to have him back!

Samuelson passed back to Hudler who rifles a pass to Zetterberg who settles the pass and scores it top shelf. 5-0, in turn they pull Fluery to put in Gueiren their second string goalie.
Penguins much like other teams get desperate and dirty when the Red Wings make them look bad. Cheap shots on Zetterberg and Datsyuk were just plain unsportsmanlike! The Red Wings normally let other teams pay for being that way as they did tonight. #87 Crosby hacked Zetterberg and then #25 Talbot hacked Datsyuk trying to take out his recent injury!
Still 5-0 into the third period.

Mike Milbury during the second Intermission saying Datsyuk should sit out?

Then he said and I quote "if your going to slash somebody, make it hurt for crying out loud!" What an a$$
The Pitts defeating themselves with their penalties all game.
Osgood with 15 career shutouts in the playoffs!

Final 5-0

Game 2 Playoffs Columbus Blue Jackets at Detroit Red Wings Win 4-0

Brian Rafalski scores the first goal for the Red Wings in the first period assisted by Nicolas Lidstrom and Thomas Holmstrom Another goal deflected off a Blue Jacket. There was two goals in the first playoff game that deflected of Blue Jacket players.
End of the first period 1-0.

Second goal a redirection by obviously my favorite player in the NHL Pavel Datsyuk. Just a beautiful pass from Marion Hossa and another assist by Nicolas Lidstrom. 2-0

Henrik Zetterburg scores assisted by Yohan Franzen and Daniel Cleary. 3-0 late in the second period.

The hits and puck possesion by Pavel Datsyuk is amazing! Datsyuk led the Red Wings in hits last game with a total of 6.

Jiri Hudler gets his second goal of the playoffs assisted by Nicolas Kronwall and Brad Stuart. Another deflection off the Blue Jackets, it deflected off a player then hit the post and then must have bounced off Steve Mason about 3-4 times .

Osgood with his 14th shutout, the fans were showing their appreciation by chanting his name and cheering him on his victory.

The Red Wings are up 2 games so far in these playoffs against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Here are all the highlights from the game...

Wings Win 4-0

Islanders at Detroit Red Wings 3-27-2009

So far the Islanders seem pretty confident with their defense. 2-0 in the third period.
Pulled Osgood with little over a minute left giving me a heart attack from then on.

They especially liked winning against the Red Wings but we hardly ever see the Islanders? which makes it hard to judge how good of a team they really are.
Yes I admit... I watch mostly my home team but with over 80 games its hard to keep track of other teams.

Just unlucky, the puck wasn't going in for the Red Wings this time but it certainly hit the post enough.(Why that is not considered a shot is beyond me?)
(Highlights)

3 minutes 28 seconds
Overall a good game though. Pavel Datsyuk with his tricky ways of playing, always keeps me watching closely. When Zetterburg got a shot off at the beginning of the game I thought it would be a high scoring game for the Red Wings. Unfortunately it did not turn out that way. Great goal tending by Joey Macdonald for the Islanders. He received a shut out. Wings lose 2-0.
