Detroit came out with purpose from the start and built a 3-0 lead after the first period on goals by Kris Draper (off his face, ouch), Pavel Datsyuk, and Dallas Drake.
Henrik Zetterberg scored short handed, three minutes and eleven seconds into the second period to make it 4-0 and pretty well lights out for Dallas.
Dallas looks totally flat and 0 for 6 on the power play against the “Presidents Trophy” winners. It stayed
4-0 after the second period.
Detroit just came out with the mind set of throwing pucks at the net, then getting in after them and always getting in front for a screen or a rebound. Dallas is one tired hockey team as they are having trouble clearing the front of their net. Detroit is just chipping and chasing. When Dallas did try a surge and pressure Detroit, Chris Osgood was there to shut the door. Detroit finally is through with a pesky Dallas team. Dallas did get one but that was it and the final was 4-1.
Detroit won the “Clarence Campbell Trophy” as the Western Conference Champions. When it was presented to Nick Lidstrom, the Wings captain, you guessed it; he did not want anything to do with touching it either. Those hockey players are a superstitious lot. They should play Stevie Wonders song when they present it lol.
