FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT!

Good kill!

Tampa 0/1 on the Power play.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

More scuffling.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Red Wings to the power play.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

That didn't last long.

Nice dive

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Both teams trade 35 second power plays, nothing on either.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

How do you not call that?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Man, Glendening's got some speed.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Nice scoring chance for Smith with 4 seconds left in the period - also, pretty athletic for that one Wing to get back onside.

 

[sherbert1421]

Good period. Keep the pedal to the metal

The number of hits really jumps out. Pretty sure that's a reversal from the first game or two.

Detroit has been more physical but I always take the hits stats with a grain of salt as they tend to have a home team bias

True, our stat keeper probably counts poke checks as hits.
