"bitch-slapped" ???

i should never underestimate the red wings.

they beat the penguins 3-1 today. osgood was wonderful. and yeah, they got lidstrom and ericsson back. (btw, ericsson allegedly had an appendectomy three days ago. i call bullshit. how the fuck can you be back to playing hockey three days later?). datsyuk is supposed to be back by game 3, and i don't know about draper. but they did ok without him-- they won over 70% of the faceoffs after all.

so game 2 is tomorrow. once again, i'm nervous the wings are going to get bitch-slapped. i feel like the pens will wake up tomorrow. and the back to back schedule will favor the young penguins and tire out the old geezers on the wings. we shall see...
