Whalers 4, Wolves 3 (OT)
I just got back from working the Plymouth Whalers vs. Sudbury Wolves playoff game (Game #5 of the OHL Finals) so I have yet to watch the Wings game (they won 2-1 by the way). Commentary about the Wings’ game won’t go up until tomorrow after I’ve watched the game.
The Whalers really dominated the game tonight and had a two goal lead at one point, yet allowed the Wolves to come back and tie it up to send the game into OT. The biggest story of the night? Wolves’ goaltender Sebastian Dahm. He faced 81 shots tonight. 81!!! And only allowed four goals. That’s not too shabby in my book. Admittedly, they weren’t all great shots, but he definitely had to make plenty of solid saves. Whalers went 1/6 on the PP while the Wolves scored twice on their six power play opportunities.
Plymouth’s Andrew Fournier had two assists. Chris Terry got a goal and an assist. Jared Boll and Evan Brophey each got a goal. Dan Ryder, James Neal, and Ryan McGinnis each got an assist. Sudbury’s Lusnak and Donati each got a goal and an assist. McCullough, D’Aversa, and Baker each earned an assist.
13:34 into OT, Dan Collins scores to give the Whalers a 3-2 series lead.
They play Sunday in Sudbury where they will hopefully become OHL Champs!
In other Detroit sports…
The Detroit Tigers won their 10th game in 11 games over the Minnesota Twins.
The Detroit Pistons play Game #4 of the second round tonight with a chance to sweep! They came back in Game #3 after being down 19 points to get a 3-0 series lead over the Chicago Bulls.
The Detroit Lions, oh wait, they suck.

Remember what I told you about the Ducks? I think you’ll see what I mean after you watch the replay, especially freakin’ Pronger on the power play.

[…] This isn’t Red Wings related but Christy at Behind the Jersey has an article on the Plymouth Whalers game last night. The Whalers won in overtime but the most impressive thing about this game is that Plymouth put EIGHTY ONE shots on goal! That is just sick. Steph over at No Pun Intended has her writeup on the Red Wings and Tigers. Her writeup includes her shouting obscenities at Chris Pronger. Works for me…Matt at On the Wings has his writeup on the game posted. Red Wings […]
