Good to see ol Dally get one he gets a big atta boy. His face said it all as he turned away from the Marty.

Way to go Dallas. I wish we would have had that for game four. But now we get a Hockey Night In Canada show for game one sweet. The hockey gods are looking down on Detroit. What was going on with all the penalties, in a playoff game no less. I am gonna get a pound of calamari for Saturday, woohoo. That was one hell of a game. Way to go Dallas.

I figured that a Game 6 would be harder to win than a potential Game 7 by the following logic: You're up 3-0 and you lose Game 4, you simply chalk it up to the other team being more desperate than you. You lose Game 5 and that gets your attention for Game 6. You realize that having a Game 7 back home after being up 3-0 may not be much of a home ice advantage, so you go out and match the desperation of your opponent. And that's exactly what Detroit did. Sure, you could argue that was a fortunate bounce off Draper's face. But the goal would not have occurred had he not attacked the net. And continue to attack the net, the Red Wings did. Especially when Dallas started playing tentatively. The Stars weren't able to find the edge they needed to compete in this one until the third and by then, it was too little too late. Detroit faced adversity and they responded very well. Good luck against Pittsburgh in the Cup Finals. From a Stars fan, congratulations to the Red Wings.
