For sure. Nice rest for them. I have a couple of guys right next to me that are from Chicago and Detroit and hockey was the way we bonded. Nice to have people to talk about the playoffs with, I wish I could find a horseracing "buddy" too.

At least the way the series is playing out with the Sharks, the only game that could potentially be one of those awful weeknight 10:30 p.m. EST starts is game seven, and let's not hope it goes that far. Game one tonight, game two Sunday, games 3-4 are Wednesday-Friday, game five also on Sunday, and game six back at the Joe. Only game seven has potential for severe sleep loss.

Wow. Sharks-Red Wings just put on a show. Action packed OT. Crappy way for the Wings to lose it.

Based on game one, this has a repeat of the 2010 series all over it. Wings control early, Sharks get a rush of questionable calls late, spend eight of the last 13 minutes on the power play, and win on a deflection in overtime moments after the Wings had killed the weakest 4:00 high sticking call that I've ever seen.

Just saying, why is it that whenever the Wings play the Sharks, the Wings are suddenly called for double their average in penalties? It's like freaking clockwork.

The 4 minutes for high sticking was ridiculous. But, of course, by rule if there is blood.......

I compare that one to the Calvin Johnson TD nullified last year.

There's got to be some discretion though. If the guy who was offended is sitting on the bench, pulling apart his beard to show the ref the drip of blood, and laughing about the penalty, it probably shouldn't be 4:00. Wallin is gutless, so was Pavelski on the Bertuzzi penalty. And I like Pavelski, mostly because he's a Yank.

What a game last night. I'm exhausted. Preds looked like a totally different team than in Game 1. Glad to see them get back on track!!!
