They have been out-hustled and out-played 11 out of 12 periods so far. I couldn't believe what I was seeing tonight. Nashville is playing very well and Detroit doesn't seem to have an answer for it. I'm not buying the "hot goaltender" stuff again... out of the 40+ shots they had on Vokoun tonight you barely need more than one hand to count the number of outstanding saves/quality chances they had.
There just doesn't seem to be any fire there... I thought that after they won Game 2 (a game that they had NO business winning) they'd get it together and realize this wasn't gonna be a series they could sleepwalk through... guess I was wrong.
All wing nuts were dismayed. I agree only 10-12 SOG were any good, still Vokoun was 'ON.' While I agree they didn't deserve any more than they (Wings) got (and please no one take this as an excuse)the officiating wasn't the most equitable. A blood drawing High stick and a questionable 2 line pass resulting in a goal. Preds are solid, but I predict that a sleeping giant has been awoken. I'll stick with my original Wings in 6.
