Game Recap |
Red Wings vs. Blue Jackets 3 Stars:
- 1st Star: Dan Cleary: The Carbonear, Newfoundland and Labrador native got the party started with a big 1st goal (turned out to be the game winner) which took the Columbus crowd out of the game. He also added two assists and a number of bone crushing hits which helped the Wings take a strangle hold on this series.
- 2nd Star: Chris Osgood: As I said in my playoff preview “he is a veteran goalie who knows what it takes to win a series” and he is proving me right and his worth to the team having only given up 2 goals in 180 minutes of playoff hockey.
- 3rd Star: Detroit’s Penalty Kill: This much maligned group finished the regular season in 25th spot but has only given up 1 power play goals in 11 Columbus opportunities..
