Game 5: Red Wings 2 Blackhawks 1 (OT)

Just like in 1995, we oust the Blackhawks in OT in Game 5! Our depth showed its skill even more tonight, with Ericsson's name being added to the many who were unable to play. If Cleary keeps it up and the Wings end up winning the cup, #11's name could be in the running for the Conn Smythe (getting a bit ahead of myself here). Osgood and Huet both played outstanding in this game. In fact, Ozzie was a huge difference in the first half of the game. So here we are, back in the finals again. I wonder how many of our players are going to be back by Saturday's Game 1 and how that is going to affect the continuity of the team. You have the Wings, who's depth has carried them through the playoffs agains the Pens, who's star players are carrying them without much help from the 3rd and 4th liners. It's gonna be a dandy.
