Well, I'm a bit conflicted about yesterday's game. On one hand it was a convincing 5-2 victory. But the 'Hawks stuck around until the third period, tied 2-2. Both Khabi and Osgood had a shaky early goal. And yet Osgood made all the crucial stops and Khabi ended-up with 42 saves. Ultimately, the 'Hawks had their young guns contained. I think depth and patience won out. That will probably be the story in most of these games.
On the flip side, I haven't seen much scoring from Datsyuk and Zetterburg and Holmstrom. All three have played very solid games, especially on the defensive end. But the points aren't coming. I think this speaks volumes about the Red Wings. They don't rely on offense from only one line. In fact, Zetterburg made three crucial shot blocks in a 5-on-3 against the Ducks in game 7. Most superstars offensive players aren't even on the ice at that time.
Lakers made it through. All the former Ducks fans can jump onto that bandwagon.
