Quick thoughts:

Osgood made the decision to play him look better with every save.

Darren Helm is a keeper.

Darren McCarty’s comeback has paid off in spades.

Dallas Drake is a wrecking ball.

It was good to see the Wings weather the early storm and come back strong for a pretty complete game. Their third period performance was masterful.

Kudos to the Predators for never giving up, even after the Lidstrom goal and the failed 5-on-3.

My condolences to Preds fans, who showed their support loudly throughout the game as well as after it.

More coming in the morning.
