Game 3: Ducks 2 Red Wings 1

While everyone will be talking about the whistle at the end of the period (which was AWFUL), it still needs to be realized that if the Wings CAME TO PLAY IN THE FIRST PERIOD, which has been the problem ALL YEAR, the whistle at the end of the game would not have mattered. That being said, I think if they play like they did in the 2nd and 3rd for the rest of the series, pucks will start going into the net. In the 1st period, the Ducks were tougher and more alert, and the Wings were playing like their skill was going to win them the game. Unfortunately you need grit and hustle to go with that skill. How about 60 minutes of that on Thursday?
