The Red Wings dominated the play for much of the third period and overtime in today’s second round game 2. And still, they skated off the ice with a loss after an opponent’s role player scored the winning goal.

I don’t know what the root cause is here, but I do know this: this is going to be a long series, unless the Wings’ stars continue to disappear. Anaheim is all over Zetterberg and Hossa and Datsyuk, but if we’re going to have a chance in this series, these are the players that have to get it done.
