Wings lose a tough one

Playing the Avs on Tuesday night when they were playing the second night of the back to back, the Wings hadn't played since Saturday and had their starting GK in playing at home you think that it was a game the Wings would win. They scored first, 3 minutes in, but the Avs did tie it before the end of the period. The Wings then scored the next two to take a 3-1 lead. The Avs came back however and scored the next two to tie the game at 3. Then the Wings scored on a short handed goal to take the lead again with about 8 minutes to play in the game but once again the Avs came back. After 60 minutes the game was tied at 4. the 5 minute overtime belonged to the Wings but they were not able to score. They were not able to score in the shoot out either and finally the Avs 6th shooter finally did to end the game, and give the Avs a 5-4 win at the Joe.

Of course it is only one game early in the season so it isn't to big of a deal, but you don't want to let games like that get away from you. Tonight the Wings play in Dallas, as Mike Madono will return to play the Stars after they didn't want to resign him after 20 years. Hopefully the Wings can play well and get a win to start the short two game road trip. They already have some injuries so hopefully this year will not be a repeat of last year. Right now it is Brain R who is arguable their second best defender who will miss 3-4 weeks that is the biggest concern. The Wings are talented enough and deep enough however, that as long as they only have one or two guys hurt at a time they should be fine, and win the West.

Pens haven't won yet, which is great, either has the Blackhawks I believe. The Maple Leafs are playing very well, they haven't lost yet, which makes my dad happy. I am really getting in to hockey more and more, it really is a great sport, and when your baseball team is out of it, when there is no football games worth watching during the week it is the best thing to watch. But the NBA will be starting soon for real as well and that will give me something else to watch as well, which I am really looking forward to. I'm right, you're wrong.
