Jonathan Toews and the Chicago Blackhawks got to watch all the action in the NHL playoffs while they waited for an opponent to emerge for the second round.
As good as Patrick Kane and Jonathan Toews are for the Blackhawks, Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg might be better for the Red Wings.
The NHL playoffs are off to a heart-pounding start with a record 17 games going to overtime in the first round.
Henrik Zetterberg and Valtteri Filppula each had a goal and an assist, and the Detroit Red Wings finished off the Anaheim Ducks with a 3-2 victory in Game 7 on Sunday night.
Although the Ducks and Red Wings could be stressed by this test, most are treating it as an opportunity and a reward for nearly two weeks of exhausting work.
Two of the greatest words in Sports get to be put to use on Sunday Night.....GAME 7!
Henrik Zetterberg took a big step as the leader of a storied franchise, snapping a scoring slump in a clutch way with his second goal in overtime.
Prince Fielder and Miguel Cabrera each hit a long home run, and the Detroit Tigers beat the Cleveland Indians 10-4 on Friday night.
Friday morning both the Wings and Ducks gathered at Joe Louis Arena for their morning skate as both teams get ready for a critical game 6 of their best of 7 series.
Ryan Getzlaf has been dominant when the Anaheim Ducks have needed their captain most, scoring clutch goals in two of their three wins.
Don't count them out yet, according to players and coach Mike Babcock, who took time at the airport to tell reporters they're ready to win game six Friday night.
After two agonizing overtime losses in the previous three games, Ryan Getzlaf figured the Anaheim Ducks were overdue for a break when they headed into extra time yet again.
Last week NBC sent 97.1 The Ticket 16 cupcakes dedicated to the teams in the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
Ryan Getzlaf knows the Anaheim Ducks could be getting frustrated.
So the Red Wings have a pulse.
