Their defence is down to just one veteran now (Vandermeer) and the kids are busting a gut out there. There's promise on that team (Seabrook and Keith, for instance, are going to be excellent); they simply need more competent management to put things together.

Chicago looked very good and Khabibulin kept them in it in the first when the Wings had numerous chances. I saw that too. I think it was either Calder or Byfuglien. It didn't look like it was that serious a blow, but definitely not necessary. It was kind of surprising that neither Ozzie nor any Wings reacted much from it. The scarier moment for me was a point in the game when Datsyuk was absolutely flying down the ice with the puck and Barnaby tried to intercept his path with a check that could've seriously injured him. Luckily, Pavs noticed Barnaby and slowed down to avoid the collision around center ice. It's times like that where it's worth giving up the scoring chance when you're about to get smoked. Especially in these last games before the playoffs. You’re right. Chicago looked very good and Khabibulin kept them in it in the first when the Wings had numerous chances.

But I watched most of the third. I thought Chicago looked like a completely different team than the one we've been playing all season. Did anyone tell them that they don't have even a remote chance of making the playoffs? Where was this intensity when it counted? Ok, I just have to express a little bit of disgust at the Blackhawks at this point. I don't know if many people saw what happened after Chicago scored their second goal, but it was disgusting. It was a three on one, so it was pretty much a guaranteed goal, even with Lidstrom being the one. After the goal, though, a Blackhawk (I didn't catch a name) totally skated into Ozzie and elbowed him in the head. He made no effort whatsoever to avoid our goaltender (who was helpless, having just tried to make a save). It would have been bad enough just running our goalie over, but he threw the elbow into his head. Nothing was called, and Mickey didn't even mention it. There was no point to the attack, either. They had just scored a goal, so he couldn't have been frustrated. I am thoroughly disgusted at this, despite the fact that it is somewhat typical of Chicago. They always seem to be out for blood, beyond the normal dirtiness of teams like Nashville. Back to the Wings. It was a somewhat disappointing loss, but again, I'd rather that we lose to Chicago than Nashville or, say, Calgary. I hope they take advantage of their one day off. Minnesota will be a tough team to beat, so we've got to play a heck of a lot better than we did tonight. First of all, I did not see the entire game and didn’t hear any of the first.
