GDT - WCSF Game 3: Red Wings (1-1) host Hawks (1-1) 7:30

05/20/2013 at 7:05am EDT

Who are these guys? After getting skated into the ground and taken to the woodshed in game 1, DET pawned CHI in game 2. The Wings were so damn good, the 'Hawks Captain, having no excuses for his teams ineptitude, accused them of cheating: “I’m not going to go off and complain about some calls that I thought should have been called or whatever,” Toews said, before essentially doing just that. “If that’s the way they’re going to play, we need to play the same way." That - is - just - embarassing.

Zetterberg has been a freaking beast, and quite obviously is in Toews head (and determined to stay there). Dittys like this are priceless, Hank, discussing his physical play in game 2: “It’s part of playoffs,'' Zetterberg said. “I think he plays better when it’s more physical and I play better when it’s a little more physical. It’s a give and take.'' If I didn't know better, and I do not, I'd say the gauntlet has been thrown.

Said Babcock: “It was great we had an (extra) off day. It's unbelievable how well that worked out for us. Now we're freshened up. Series on.'' Indeed. LGRW.
