Red Wings Trying to Make History

Yes. The Detroit Red Wings are trying to make some history this year int he Stanley Cup Playoffs. Not good history. I guess according to Gatorade commercials they are trying to become history.

Starting out the series against the Dallas Stars with a 3-0 series lead, the Red Wings have lost 2 straight and are struggling to put the puck in the net despite the shot discrepancy. Just like every year in the playoffs the Wings out shoot every team they play and they happen to find the hot goalie at the right time. Of course they shoot a lot of garbage shots that get counted into the totals trying to pick up some nice rebound goals, but nobody really notices that and tend to think they had the goalie of the year in net against them. They do hit tough goalies every year, but don't let the shot totals fool you all the time.

The bathroom lighting may be going out on the team again this year as they try not to be the team to lose a 3-0 lead and become their MLB counterpart the New York Yankees. The Evil Empire.
