The Red Wings took care of their divisional rival Nashville 5-2 down at the Joe tonight. Pavel Datsyuk went all "En Fuego" on the Preds tonight scoring twice and working his magic all night out on the ice; Eaves, Holmstrom, and Stuart added to the scoring each scoring goals. It was nice to see Ossie come back strong tonight after being a little shaky to start off the last game only letting in two on 23 shots and looking solid on the penalty kill. With the win tonight Osgood not only got his record back to 500 at 2-2 but he draws oh so close to his 400th win at 398 wins. The Wings still had some turn over troubles but they continue to look dangerous in the offensive zone and they are killing off penalties better then any team in the league right now. The Red Wings get right back to it on Monday when they host Phoenix and Datsyuks' good friend Ilya Bryzgalov at the JLA.
Well it was fun while it lasted wasn't it? Today Michigan States dream season came to a screeching halt in Iowa City losing to the Hawkeyes 37-6. Kirk Cousins was anything but good throwing 3 big Ints and no touchdowns until the 4th quarter. The run game was no where to be found once again only gaining 31 yards on the ground and averaging 1.8 yards per carry. The defense completely reverted to their form from earlier this season, not being able to stop Iowa on any possessions when they needed to during the game and giving up big pass plays in the secondary and struggling so much so that Pat Narduzzi came down from the coachs box to the sideline. I think that SpartanSports on twitter put it the best "only thing to do now is to take a sledgehammer to the game tape and get ready for Minnesota next week". The Spartans return home next Saturday to take on the Golden Gophers and try to get back on track in the win column.
Goodnight from the greatest sports city in the world and shake it off Sparty there is always another Saturday.
