Will
Hockeytown Live Up to its Name This Year?
by
Steve Gralewski
The Red
Wings Started out the season this year on a good note with opening
night at The Joe on a 2-3 victory over the LA Kings. The wings
went on to win two more games then losing two and winning two more.
The last dry spell the wings faced was 1 win in their last 7 games
from October 25th until November 8th. The only win came with
Curtis Joseph in Net and recording his first shut out of the year
by blanking the flames 3-0. The first game vs. Nashville did
not go well at all, where not only did the Red Wings lose, several
players were fined for a grand total of 9 fighting majors in the
one game. Steve Yzerman was among the many penalized players
with several 2 minuet penalties, two 10 minute UN sportsman like
misconducts, and finally a game misconduct, where Yzerman almost
refused to leave the ice until he made sure the referee heard what
he had to say. In a strange coincidence, there were NO NHL
supervisors at the game that night. The wings looked on top
of their game Saturday night against Nashville as they faced them
for the second time this season, where they were winning 3-0 until
11 minutes left in the 3rd period where a nice shot slipped past
Curtis Joseph, and from there on, “you-know-what” hit
the fan, where Nashville was able to win the game 4-3 in regulation.
Monday night was a different story when Chicago came to Detroit
and fell behind early in the 2nd period when Paval Datsyuk scored
1:32 in to the period. The last 2 goals came 1:38 apart from
first Kris Draper, and second Brendan Shanahan, who is now on a
3 game goal streak. Detroit Ended the game with a 3-0 win
and Dominik Hasek posting his 2nd shut out on the season.
Detroit looks to face Dallas in Dallas on Wednesday the 12th at
8:30, which we can view on Fox Sports Net.
