One down, 3 more to go. Although the Sharks were not dominate in this game after the first period they got the job done. The winning PP goal was a beauty by Matte Carle. A perfect pass from behind the net by Joe Thornton.

I thought Mike Grier was one of the Sharks better players in this game. His goal was a prime example of hard fore checking paying off.

Nabokov was sharp in net making 34 saves.

I noticed that with 3 minutes left there was a lot of empty seats down low in Joe Louis. I guess the faithful Wings fans figured their team could not over come a 2 goal deficit so they got to the parking lot early!

I also checked on tickets for Saturdays game and there were plenty available in the upper sections. You would think a playoff game would be sold out in HOCKEY TOWN
