Redwings 2 Predators 0

The Redwings won today 2-0 over Nashville and closed out the opening round series. Detroit got 2 early goals from Yzerman and Whitney. Those were Yzerman's and Whitney's first goals of this year's playoffs. They were also the only 2 goals the Wings would need. Cujo played good, and got the shutout, but just like in game 5 he didn't have to play extremely well with the Wings' great defence. Detroit had some dumb penalties but everytime Nashville went on the powerplay Detroit shut them down. They moved the puck well and kept Nashville on their heels all night long. Dave Lewis was a big reason for these last 2 victories, he coached today's game great. He was always changing up the lines at the right time with the right people. Detroit was clearly outplayed the first four games, but they luckly turned it around these last 2 games to win the series. Their defence and Cujo were incredible the last 2 games of this series giving up only one goal. They also held the Preds to one powerplay goal all series. Nashville gave Detroit a great series and we have to tip are hats to them. The Redwings will either face Calgary,Vancouver, or maybe the Avs in the next round.
