Hockey, Detroit, Red Wings, Pittsburgh, Penguins, Stanley Cup
It wasn't the greatest game in the history of the sport, that's for sure, but tonight's game between the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins was okay.

It's no surprise the Detroit Red Wings have a Swede to thank for a prime-time performance, but Mikael Samuelsson?

The demoted forward busted out of a slump with two goals, and Chris Osgood stifled the Pittsburgh Penguins' young and talented stable of forwards with 19 saves to lift the Red Wings to a 4-0 victory in the opening game of the Stanley Cup finals on Saturday night.

I don't know if it's the fact I am patiently waiting for tomorrow's Coca-Cola 600 or what, but I wasn't too impressed with the game as a whole. The Red Wings did a great job and they made the Penguins look pretty bad. Hopefully game 2 will be a bit more exciting.
