It was nice to have hockey to escape to for the evening. I couldn't believe how the Wings gave up 3 shorthanded goals and Sharp nearly had a fourth but Hasek stopped him. It was dramatic seeing Lidstrom crumble at the blue line and Sharp going the other way to score. I've never seen Lidstrom make such a huge mistake to give up a game winning goal. Cleary should've scored on that back door chance (I believe on the same PP) but didn't get enough of the puck. I hope Bourque didn't break his hand - on the penalty kill, he took a shot off his glove and went immediately to the locker room. That would be a major blow to Chicago. Top to bottom, I've never seen the Central Division so strong. To have every team above 0.500 is pretty impressive. Hopefully it stays that way because I think it'll help the Wings in the end, and these games are fun to watch. On a side note, Crosby is at 19 games straight with a point. In the first period, he could've had 4-5 pts, but the Rangers' Lundqvist (1.77 GAA) prevented that. That was also a very fun game to watch. Hopefully the Wings are able to bounce back this afternoon.
