The current headline on ESPN.com's NHL page says "Detroit Luck City." That may be taking it just a hair too far. The Wings weren't lucky to win the game, but they were lucky to get out of the first five minutes of the second period with a 3-2 lead after getting completely outplayed. The Preds hit two posts and could have easily gone up 3-2 themselves. Shortly after, Draper got the go-ahead goal off of a Predator skate. In the 3rd period, the Wings completely controlled the pace until the last minute when the Preds were frantically trying to score on Hasek with two-extra men. Hats off to Dom (wow, have I given him credit two games in a row?) for another strong performance. Oh yeah, and nice job by D-Mac on his goal as well!
Now let's see if the Wings can stop losing games 3 and 4 on the road in the first round like they did to Calgary last year and their series with Nashville a few years ago. Stop Trotz and his team's bitching about bad calls and luck and dominate on the road.
