Through five games, the Red Wings are the only team that hasn't scored a goal in the opening period. The Red Wings are 2-0 when they score first (both times in the second period) and 0-2-1 when the opposition opens the scoring. The Red Wings are 2-for-26 on the power play (7.7 percent), which ranks 28th in the NHL. I'm no pharmacist, but those two ugly facts may be related.
DAL lost last night at CBJ, 2-1. Not that the tired legs theory proved helpful against CHI the other night.

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
