(VS 9PM ET) Like my main man Jed Clampett always says, “Woooooo doggie!” NHL Playoff Hockey. The Thrills. The spills. Oh, the humanity! You saw what happened the other night. The other night the Red Wings made history. They made history rallying for three goals in the final 10 minutes, erasing a 1-0 deficit in the third period for a 3-1 victory over the Sharks. Hooray Red Wings! For those you of you care about these things, the Wings became the first team in NHL history to force a Game 7 by winning consecutive games – specifically Games 5 and 6 – in which they trailed in the third period. How about that? Can they do it again? Huh? Can they? Yes they can. They can because Pavel Datsyuk says they can. Everybody yips about Alexander Ovechkin. Everybody yaps about Sidney Crosby. Yipping and yapping. Flipping and flapping. Aren’t you guys forgetting someone? Aren’t you guys forgetting Pavel Datsyuk? For my money, Datsyuk is the best two way player in hockey. Red Wings coach Mike Babcock: ”If you’re down a goal in the last minute, who do you want out there—Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin or Datsyuk? Any of them. But if you’re up a goal in the last minute and need to protect the lead, who would you want? You’d want Pav.” You got that right. Get your popcorn ready!
Peace out homies! Six Two and Even!
