Just in case anyone's interested:

Florida 3 Washington 2 3rd

Dallas 0 Detroit 1 1st

Go !

[GLOVESAVE35]

Stop me if you've heard this one before:

Turco starts in goal for the Dallas Stars and lets in 3 goals. The Stars are down 3-0 and replace Turco with Hedberg. The score is now tied 3-3.

Sound familiar?



Oh BTW, the Detroit-Dallas game is tied 3-3. (Forgot to mention Detroit had a 3-0 lead over Dallas in the 1st).

[GLOVESAVE35]

Whoa. It's 5-3 Dallas with less than 12 minutes to go in the 3rd.


Whoops. Make that 6-3 now. Legace is replacing Osgood.

[Dark Knight]

Dallas has scored 6 straight on the Red Wings to go up 6-3 ...in Detroit!

[ahtikullervo]

Dallas is amazing...

[GLOVESAVE35]

It's official: 6-3 Dallas over Detroit.

Wow. This is even more embarrassing for Detroit than it was for the Ducks.

[ahtikullervo]

Dallas Finnish guys have been amazing:

Miettinen. Scored a goal and GW penalty shot against us.

Lehtinen. Scored twice tonight, 1st star tonight.

Hagman. Started Stars rally in 0:3.

Kapanen. Assisted Hagman goal + scored 1 himself.

Jokinen. Assisted first Lehtinen goal.

Amazing. Fintastic 5!!!

[PortBeach13]

Holy crap! Dallas beating Detroit?! This was a game that the Wings were supposed to win. I'm totally scared of Johan Hedberg now

[Dark Knight]

It's official:  6-3 Dallas over Detroit. 

Wow.  This is even more embarrassing for Detroit than it was for the Ducks. 

It takes a bit of the edge off. Can't wait for the comments from Babcock and the players later Probably along the lines of "we had this game in hand and let it slip out... we underestimated them ... we didn't come prepared to play... what the Duck players said..." You know, the usual

[Dark Knight]

It would be fun to be in the Detroit room right now as Babcock addresses the team...

Here are some of Detroit's "explanations:"

"I don't know what happened," said Babcock after the Red Wings blew a 3-0 lead in a 6-3 loss to Dallas on Sunday night. "We lost our composure and turned the puck over and just couldn't get settled down again."

"They switched goalies and Hedberg came in and played really good," Zetterberg said. "We had some good chances and he made the saves."

Yup. It sounds familiar.

Must be a full moon

* Columbus destroyed Phoenix in the desert 5-2
* Fedorov with 4 assists (good for him) and the 4th was his 600th assist (well done)
* Berard with a hat trick

[Dark Knight]

FINALS:

Florida 4 - Washington 3 (SO)
Dallas 6 - Detroit 3
Nashville 5 - Chicago 1
Columbus 5 - Phoenix 2

[GLOVESAVE35]

Here's another one for the "sounds familiar" department. Today's shootout win was Roberto Luongo's first shootout win of the season, as was the Panthers'. And before today, the Panthers only had 5 road wins.
