Pat Caputo: Red Wings Overwhelm Coyotes
Guess we need to accept this. It's just the way this version of the Red Wings happens to be.
Always on the brink. Constantly playing with matches. Inevitably coming through.
The Red Wings survived their high wire act once more Tuesday night. They advanced to the Western Conference semifinals of the Stanley Cup playoffs with a 6-1 rout of the Phoenix Coyotes in Game 7.
The victory mirrored the Red Wings' entire season. Just when it looked like they were a dynasty about to go into the rearview mirror, they responded by proving they remain an elite team, and capable of capturing another Stanley Cup championship.
