Wings defeat Sharks, 6-3
Last night, the Detroit Red Wings started out their father-son three game road trip on the right foot with a 6-3 victory over the San Jose Sharks. Jon @ Sharkspage was taking photographs at last night’s game and you can view his great photo gallery here.

BTJ favorite defenseman Niklas Kronwall scored his fifth goal of the season last night. Last year Kronner only registered 22 points, he’s already up to 25 offensive points this season. His older brother Mattias came along with Kronwall on the road trip.
But Kronvall put Detroit back on top midway through the second when Ozolinsh deflected his centering pass into the net. Detroit added the two power-play goals from Lidstrom and Holmstrom.
“When they tied it up, they kept coming pretty hard,” said Lidstrom, who added two assists. “Once we got that goal I think that settled them down a little bit and got them back on their heels. It gave us a boost.”
As IwoCPO @ Abel to Yzerman mentioned, the Wings are kind of owning Sharks goaltender Evgeni Nabokov lately. Nabokov is now 0-6-1 against Detroit in his last seven games.
San Jose? You thought the Wings were dancing in Marty Turco’s head? Yeah, but he’s only one guy. The Sharks entire organization is now officially…affected. …
Yeah. You do Nabby. Four straight penalties in the second (even the one resulting from Hasek’s embarrassing tumble to the ice) didn’t help. Look. Hasek’s ours. We appreciate his insanity. It’s grown on us. But there are times you just turn away and pretend thing don’t happen. When Hasek dove, I just kind of started rocking back and forth, thinking of other images that make me happy. Blocks of cheddar, puppies, ships at sea.
And yes, it was a ridiculous tumble. I just laughed and said to myself, “That’s our crazy Czech.” When Hasek is acting insane like that, you know he’s playing in his zone and things are going well.
