Yes, yes, it is a Red Wing post, so if you don't like it then just skip this entry because unless you are clueless the Wings played a great game yesterday, and I just have to say YAY! They are now officially one game away from sending the Ducks back where they belong ... to their little pond in Anaheim.
It has been an ugly, physical series, with the Ducks doing their best to try and win on nothing but the back of their goalie and mostly cheap shots with a healthy dose of whining on their part. With the exception of one solid line they can not match the Red Wings in talent and have been out shot every single game. Yesterday was no exception with the Wings out-shooting the Ducks 38-17, but all of us fans were feeling old ghosts creeping in as the they continued to dominate play and pucks bounced off of goal posts . Until three minutes into the 2nd period when the Mule (Johan Franzen, for those of you not up on nicknames) banged one in to give us a one goal lead and Hudler (a.k.a Happy Hudler) knocked another one in out of mid-air (yes, mid-air) 39 seconds later.
What does the Anaheim coach, Randy Carlyle have to say about Franzen and his numerous goals this series? "Pretty good shots." YA THINK! Lets review, Randy: The Mule has scored twenty times in twenty-five playoff games. Still think that is just pretty good?!
Regardless, this Wing girl is one happy woman today and will be sporting her Lidstrom jersey tomorrow in the hopes the Red Wings will finish out this series once and for all in Anaheim. Go Wings!
