Game 5 vs SJS




Could this be the 2007 version of game 6 where DET beat COL 2 - 0 in the Western Conference finals in 2002? Just like this year, the wings were in an intensely competitive series with the final results in doubt.. game 6 in 2002 was the turning point in a Stanley cup run.. Could this be the same? The Wings still have to close out an amazingly tough team, but this is the first game they looked beatable.. A close 1 - 1 game turned into a 4 - 1 route late..

Goals by the action line of Dats, Z and Homer was capped off by a rare goal from Samuelson.. The wings went 2 for 6 on the PP while SJS went 0 for 6 managing just 2 shots.. The difference in the Wings PP on the 2 goals they scored? They came from down low and not up top.. both plays started from behind the net and not the point where SJS PK'ers are parked out to block shots..

Final: DET 4 - SJS 1

Next Game: Monday 9:00 VS
