End of the first period 1-0.




Second goal a redirection by obviously my favorite player in the NHL Pavel Datsyuk. Just a beautiful pass from Marion Hossa and another assist by Nicolas Lidstrom. 2-0


Henrik Zetterburg scores assisted by Yohan Franzen and Daniel Cleary. 3-0 late in the second period.

The hits and puck possesion by Pavel Datsyuk is amazing! Datsyuk led the Red Wings in hits last game with a total of 6.


Jiri Hudler gets his second goal of the playoffs assisted by Nicolas Kronwall and Brad Stuart. Another deflection off the Blue Jackets, it deflected off a player then hit the post and then must have bounced off Steve Mason about 3-4 times .


Osgood with his 14th shutout, the fans were showing their appreciation by chanting his name and cheering him on his victory.

The Red Wings are up 2 games so far in these playoffs against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Here are all the highlights from the game...

Playoffs 2009 Colubus Blue Jackets at Detroit Red Wings Win 4-1

It was 0-0 until half way through the second period. Which made me sitting on the edge of my seat! Osgood spectacular the whole game but I have to admit I had my doubts. I thought there was the possibility that Ty Conklin would take over goaltending for Chris Osgood.
Making it 1-0 Jiri Hudler scores assisted with the help of a beautiful pass by Valtteri Filppula.
Not even 52 seconds later on the Blue Jackets Cal Clutterbuck scored keeping it the same nail biting feeling as it was when there wasn't a score at all.
1-1
Pavel Datsyuk didn't get any points but I thought he did very well this game. With plenty of take aways and killing off penalties early on in the game. Not the greatest calls by the refs in this game, or at least in my opinion they weren't.
Ericson scores assisted by Jiri Hudler 2-1
Nichlas Kronwall scores 3-1
Johan Franzen assisted by Henrik Zetterburg 4-1
