Finally we got to see the Wings play like the champions they are and they completely shut down the Oilers. It was a pleasure to see the guys play at their--or close to--best. It also was good to see others score besides Datsyuk, Hossa, and Z. But, of course, Franzen still got a goal--the man is on a tear! VF got an assist, so he now has 7 points--not very good, but should get better. Hopefully his +/- will get better, too--he's at -2 right now. (It IS better than it was--earlier he was at -7!) If they can continue playing like tonight, then the sky's the limit.
Thursday the Wings play the Oilers again, only IN Edmonton. It will be harder to get as easy of a win, but hopefully it WILL be a win. Go Wings!
