My beloved Red Wings swept the Columbus Blue Jackets in 4 games. It was a great series even though Game 3 and 4 were not shown on Versus or any of the channels in St. Louis. The reason could be because the St. Louis Blues team did not want to show how much better the Red Wings are since the Blues were swept by the Canucks. Thanks to Johan Franzen "the Mule" with his power play goal with 46.6 seconds left in the 3rd period in game 4, the Red Wings completed the Series in style. It was good to have a few days off but I hope the guys will be ready for the next Round. And then there are 8!
It was another great game last Saturday, March 14th when the Red Wings repeated their victory 5-2 over St. Louis Blues. It was the 2nd time, 11 days to be exact, that the Wings gently reminded the Blues and other teams at their quick-strike offense, strong defense and solid goaltending. Pavel Datsyuk, the king of backchecking and pucks stealing, scored twice in the 2nd period. The Wings' three consecutive shots in a 46-second at the beginning of the 2nd that took the air out of the Blues and put the game away. The Wings have won five straight in St. Louis. 
The Red Wings wiped out a one-goal deficit and rallied to a 5-2 win over the Blues. In previous Wings v. Blues games, my husband usually had friendly wagers with someone, "Jack", who was a former co-worker, for a beer after the 1st period. For almost two years, Jack has been buying beer as the Wings always scored first and held on to the leads. This time, Jack wanted to change the wager to the 2nd period. Bad move for Jack as the Blues led 1-0 after the 1st but the Wings striked back with 4 goals in the 2nd. Final score was 5-2 Wings. Maybe next time Jack would learn his lesson and just buy the beer without betting :)
My Beloved Red Wings came into St. Louis on Tuesday (March 3rd) night and played the best hockey game of the season. Osgood was so good, recorded his first shutout in a 5-0 victory over the Blues. It was a great night, both offensive and defensive and definitely solid goaltending. 
Center Ice - it was the start of a great night. Shorthanded goal, power play goals, a good fight that last 1 minute and a half and seeing all my favorite players on the ice - how could anyone not love hockey?
