Well, count me among the surprised. Missed the first period of the game but tuning in at the start of the second, I thought the Wings looked positively good enough to beat, if not whip into a deluded stupor, the horribly overrated Predators. Babcock must be spitting nails at this point. I haven’t seen the team look this out of sync with a lead since the Marty-Lapointe-first-round-fiasco of 2001. At least Martin is taking bad penalties somewhere else. Did anyone else think Hasek looked shaken after he gave up the third Nashville goal? Is anyone else wondering if Ozzie might see some time in this series?
Talk about Nashville’s heart all you want, the Predators not a talented or deep team. Let’s chalk this one up to the fact that it is genuinely hard to sweep another team in today’s NHL and see what happens on Wednesday.
