Speak of the devil, Flash ... Cleary shorthanded, and now you can wrap this up. Three unassisted goals tonight for Detroit.

 

Newfie scores! Newfie scores!



I can already hear the party roar out of Harbour Grace.

 

Detoit has played a hell of a game tonight.

Hell of a game.

They didn't get shit for calls and still won going away.

 

Best player for Pittsburgh: Sergei Gonchar.

 

Dammit. Just add some more salt to the wound.

 

Tonight, yes.

 

I had to change the channel in disgust.

 

4-0 ain't a wound, my man. It's a gaping hole that desperately needs stitches.

 

Thing is, they still played well in spurts. Just missed on those first-period power plays and made some bone-headed plays that led to each of those goals. If they play a smarter game Monday -- and I'm confident that they will, because this one was not like them at all -- it should make for a much better game.

 

Most def. You have to get a lead early against Detroit, because if they go up first -- it's been just about curtains for everyone over the past two months. And especially in recent weeks after they made the Osgood switch.

 

Red Wings won't win this series in 4, but they will win the Cup.

 

I've seem these series turn around on a dime in the past. 4-0 in Game 1 means very little.
