Unbelievable? No

Just when you think you can't see anything more from this team that will shock you, they give you tonite.

Stunning.

I guess it was sloppy? That's what George said. He's more hockey savvy than I am.

To me?

It was perfect. Perfect road hockey. Perfect hockey by an "underdog." Perfect hockey by a team that has been convinced by the world's best coach that they can win this series.

I have to tell you. I'd grown tired of the constant, overbearing "speed" references. I couldn't believe that it would be so dramatic. But it was. And the Bruins are now left wondering, because it wasn't just the speed through the neutral zone, or in their own zone. It was speed to the puck. All over.

I'm a little floored right now. Was it sloppy? Did the powerplay suck? Did we have some giveaways? Yes.

But the chances were ours. A majority of the chances belonged to Detroit. This could have been 3-0.

Don't ever doubt this team. Not for the next six or seven years. No matter what happens, this team is stacked and in it for the long haul.

15 to 12. Unbelievable? No. Perfect? Hell yes.

About Abel to Yzerman

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.
