Wings hold on to beat Avs in Game 1, Ozzie saves game in final seconds

Last night’s game really, almost, did feel like the old days, didn’t it? Sure, Roy is gone, Yzerman wears a suit and most of the players on the ice were only hoping that they could someday grow a playoff beard/goatee back in 1997, but there was something special about the game, even with all the hype. Maybe the hype-masters were right on this one.

And it was a good hockey game too. The Avs are a dangerous team and we saw what can happen if they get behind your defense. If they get healthy, this could be a long series. And it almost shaped up to be a long time until Saturday’s game two until Ozzie decided to stand on his head, making some great saves in the third, particularly the one he made with 8 seconds remaining on ex-MSU Spartan John-Michael Liles.
