What happens in Hockeytown happens in Hawkeytown?
Wings had a solid showing last night too. The Hawks were all over them, splitting up their stud forwards so that Lidstrom/Rafalski couldn't shut them down. They actually out-shot the wings 39-38 which to my knowledge has not happened these playoffs. Osgood was great once again though, and the wings capitalized on a turnover to put it past Khabibulin in OT. Its definitely hard to win a game where you are outplayed and where your opponent rallies in the third to force OT; the wings stole one here. I guess we'll see how the Hawks rebound from this psychological blow...you have to imagine they will be revitalized by home ice...young or not they are too good to fold easily.
Also I maintain that the Wings definitely should have sacrificed Chelios at center ice before one of those home games....
Food for thought: Chris Osgood aka "osbad", aka the "wings weakness" continues to play slightly above his billing as the worst goaltender ever: posting a 2.05 GAA these playoffs (second only to the eliminated Tim Thomas) and an excellent .925 save percentage.
"both teams played hard...good night and god bless"
