Detroit took 42 shots on the night; Toronto, 19. Only one went in for each team after 65 minutes of hockey.
With no due respect to the Maple Leafs, they clutched and grabbed their way through regulation, uglying up the fine game of hockey our Red Wings skate so well at. Their lone goal came after an extremely cheap flipping of our player by cutting his legs out. FORTY-TWO SHOTS.
Gustav Nyquist scored the game’s first goal after 38 minutes, backhanding a return from Tomas Jurco’s shot on goal. We killed off another 5-on-3 power play, and also a penalty at the end of overtime. Pavel Datsyuk scored in the shootout, but we fell 2-1.
…who swallowed the whistle?.. Leafs have nothing but holds and cheap-shots since Hockey Night in Canada began…get ready for the next round!!
