Well, suffice it to say, right now it's looking like a typical outing in Detroit. Down early and looking for something, anything, to get some momentum back. I go back to Mike Ribeiro and his lack of shooting on good scoring opportunities. Just too methodical for a team like this.

I'm usually not such a downer but the games here in recent history haven't bode very well. And the two Stars who scored against the Wings in Dallas aren't here tonight (Fabian Brunnstrom is back in Dallas injured and Tom Wandell's back in Sweden).
