Red Wings vs. Blue Jackets 3 Stars:

1st Star: Chris Osgood: He wasn’t as stellar as he was last night but he once again showed why he has won so many playoff games. And he also managed to shutout the Jackets.
2nd Star: Detroit’s Power Play: 3 of the 4 goals tonight came on the power play and they showed why you can’t get penalties against the regular season’s #1 power play.
3rd Star: Pavel Datsyuk: He doesn’t just score, he also hits and he played as physical a game as I’ve seen him play all year long.

I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
