Another Win for the Red Wings....

Well Detroit out played the Pens again tonight and secured and 2-0 lead in the series with a 3-1 win. Not too much to say about this game besides the end. With 19 seconds left in the game Osgood was "pushed" and a scrum occured. I'm excited to say Geno picked up his first career NHL scrap. He took on Zetterberg, and in my opinion Geno definitely took this one. He was also hit with the instigator and misconduct. Since there was less than five minutes left and he received the instigator Geno and his coach will be fined $10,000 and Geno will be suspended one game. Of course the league will probably rescind the fine and the suspension. Anyway game three heads over to Pittsburgh on Tuesday at 7 p.m. CDT on Versus. The ratings were reported to be pretty low for the first game of the series. We will see what tonight's numbers look like when they are released.

Something good to hear coming out of the Dallas Stars' camp. Joe Nieuwendyk was named GM today replacing co-GMs Brett Hull and Les Jackson. Nieuwendyk served as the Special Assitant to the GM for the Toronto Maple Leafs last season. He played with the Stars for seven seasons winning the Cup witht them in 1999. Joe is a great guy and a very intelligent hockey mind. He will serve the team well over his tenure.



The Twinkies edged out the Rays today 3-2. Nick Blackburn improved his record to 5-2 on the year and Joe Nathan picked up his 9th save of the season. Otherwise, there isn't too much to say about this game. The Cubbies unfortunately got rocked tonight, losing 8-2 to the Dodgers. Marshall gave up five runs in the first inning and finished his day going 4 and 1/3 innings giving up eight runs on eight hits. Also, something surprising from this game was that Eric Milton started for the Dodgers. He looked pretty good too, he pitched 5 and 1/3 innings and gave up two runs on six hits while striking out four. Not too shabby for the former Twin.

Well I just wanted to get on real quick after the game tonight. I will hopefully have a lot more tomorrow and maybe an article about who knows what.
