The big story last night was the Detroit Red Wings as a 5 goal 1st period just blew away the Sharks was which led by Johan Franzen who's 4 goals tied a Red Wings Team Record by the most goals in a playoff game in team history.

Joining the goal rush included by Todd Bertuzzi and Valtteri Filppula in the 1st period then Brian Rafalski in the 2nd period to join the Red Wings forward which went from 2 to 6 goals scored in one night as the Red Wings kept their playoffs hopes alive as the Sharks now lead the series 3-1.

San Jose's only goal was scored by Danny Heatly which was scored late in the 2nd period. In the 3rd period with the game already put away by Detroit. Things got chippy as numerous fights lead to misconducts and a couple of ejections as well. The league will review the fights to see if anyone will be suspended for Game 5 and beyond for this series, and mostly for the Sharks it could go beyond for the Western Conference Finals against the Chicago VS. Vancouver Winner.

Pittsburgh VS. Montreal saw a very fast start as the Penguins saw themselves up 2-1 at just 5 minutes into the game. Pittsburgh goals Maxime Talbot and Chris Kunitz put the Penguins up 1-1 and 2-1. Montreal responded with a Tom Pyatt that got the scoring going in the opening minute to eventually go up 1-0 as he scored his first goal of the playoffs to keep the Canadians in the series. After a scoreless second period as both teams took a cautious approach for the rest of the period.

The 2nd period saw the Penguins looking to take over the game with Pittsburgh dominating the SOG Count with a 11-3 advantage. Through 2 periods the Penguins out-shot the Canadians 26-9 through 40 minutes. However it was Montreal that control of the game in the 3rd as Maxim Lapierre and Brian Gionta scored in the first 3 minutes of the 3rd period.

From their on, Montreal goalie Martin Havalt became big again by stopping 16 shots in the 3rd period. For the game he stopped 33 of 35 shots while Pittsburgh Goalie Marc Andre Flurry made 20 of 23 saves. We are tied at 2-2 in the Best-of-7 with Game 5 heading back to Pittsburgh coming up on Saturday Night.

The only game in the AHL saw the Abbotsford Heat use 2 3rd period goals by Mitch Wahl and David Van der Gulik to pull away to win 4-1 as the Abbotsford Heat & Hamilton Bulldogs are now tied at 2-2 in the best-of-7 series. Abbotsford was able to control the game after Wahl scored earlier in the game on the PP to respond to Ryan Russell's goal that made it 1-1 late in the 2nd period.

Chicago gives Texas Their first Playoff Loss in 2OT, Ties series at 1-1

It was another OT Game in the West Division Final as the Chicago Wolves gave the Texas Stars their first playoff loss in team history to even up the series at 1-1. Unlike Friday Night where the Stars won quickly, this one took double OT as the Stars had to comeback late to get it there.

After going down 2-0 early in the 2nd period, Aaron Gagon got the scoring going for the Stars with just 1:14 left in the 2nd period as the Chicago Goalie Peter Mannino who was looking to blank the Stars for the first time this post-season.

Just a few minutes later early on in the 3rd period it was another quick strike with Anthony Stewart giving the Wolves a 3-1 lead on the PP that was set up fantasitacly step up by Tim Stapleton on the One Timer.

After Stars Defensemen Andrew Hutchinson made it 3-2, it looked like that time would runout on this day. But Warren Peters emerged from a scrum with less then a minute left to tie the game at 3-3 as the Offical Scorers had a hard time determing who to give credit for the goal.

Chicago were getting their chances as they out-shot the Stars 19-9 where Antony Stewart scored his 2nd of the game to tie the series at 1-1. The Series now shifts back to the Cedar Park Center for Game 3 on Tuesday Night.

Game Story from the Texas Stars Website: www.texasstarshockey.com

From Chicago, Illinois: The Texas Stars were defated by the Chicago Wolves 4-3 in OT in-front of a crowd of 3732 fans at the All-State Arena. Chicago's Anthony Stewart scored his second of the game of the night at 12:21 of the 2nd OT to lift the Wolves over the Stars and tie the best-of-7 series at 1-1. Texas scored twice in the last 8 minutes of play to erase a two-goal deficit, including a goal with 54 seconds left to force OT in Game 2 of the West Division Final. Stars Goalie Brent Krhan made 42 saves in his first loss of the playoffs.

Chicago Goalie Peter Mannino picked up the win with 35 saves for the Wolves. Stars forward Warren Peters and Aaron Gagon each scored in a game that lasted 97:21, the longest in the team's short history. Defensemen Andrew Hutchinson scored a goal and added an assist in the first loss of the post-season. With the Chicago win, the series will stretch at-least five games, with the next three at Cedar Park Center. Game 3 of the West Division Final is Tuesday Night at 7:30 PM @ Cedar Park Center.

For the first time in the Calder Cup Playoffs, the Texas Stars surrendered the first goal of the game. At 8:36 of the first period, Chicago held the puck in the Texas Zone for a lengthy cycle, working the puck to the left point for Arturs Kulda. The Chicago Defensemen blated a shot from the blue line to the Texas net. Wolves forward Spencer Machacek tipped the shot, beating Goalie Brent Krahn for his third goal of the playoffs for a 1-0 Wolves lead.

The two teams traded goals in the 2nd period, starting with Chicago scoring 3:51 into the middle frame. Off a face-off in the Texas Zone, Wolves defensemen Ivan Vishnevskiy fired a shot to the net was tipped by center Jason Krog. The Puck redirected past Brent Krahn for Krog's fourth goal of the playoffs and a 2-0 lead for Chicago.

Texas countered late in the 2nd period with 1:14 left in the frame. Right wing Greg Rallo worked in a give-and-go with defensemen Andrew Hutchinson into the Chicago Zone. Rallo snapped a shot to the net was blocked by Peter Mannino. The rebound bounced in the crease and Stars Center Aaron Gagon poked the puck into the net for his first goal of the playoffs at 18:46, trimming the Wolves lead to 2-1.

In the third period, Chicago expanded its lead to 3-1 after Anthony Stewart snapped a loose puck into the Texas Net, finishing off a Wolves power play just 92 seconds into the 3rd period. Brett Sterling and Tim Stapleton set up Chicago's third tally of the night. The Stars cut the Chicago lead to 3-2 at 11:57 of the 3rd period. Captain Landon Wilson set up behind the Wolves net, dropping a pass to the bottom of the left-wing circle. Defensemen Andrew Hutchinson ripped a one-timer past Mannino for his third goal of the playoffs to make it a 3-2 score.

The Stars pulled goaltender Brent Krahn for the extra attacker with 1:30 left in regulation. Texas tied the game off a scramble in the Chicago slot with under a minute left. Center Warren Peters snapped the puck to the Chicago Net. Goalie Peter Mannino made the first save, but the puck trickled in behind him for the game tying goal. Left wing Francis Wathier set up the goal that forced OT.

After a scoreless first OT, Chicago finally broke the drought and ended the game. Anthony Stewart jammed a puck from the pads of Krahn and the puck trickled in behind the Stars goalie for the game winning goal with 7:39 left in the 2nd OT. Brett Sterling and Ivan Vishnevskiy were given credit for the assist on the game-winning goal at 12:21, the sixth of the playoffs for Stewart.

AHL Calder Cup Division Final Series

With the Rapid speed of how the East & Atlantic Division Semifinals went by finishing in either 4 or 5 games. The East & Atlantic Division Finals are now underway and the Hershey Bears are already up 3-0 over Albany as 2 of the 3 games have gone to OT as the Bears are looking to finish off their 2nd straight sweep of the playoffs as they look to successfully defend the AHL Calder Cup for the 2nd straight year.



In the East Division has the Atlantic Division Champion Worcester Sharks against the Manchester Monarchs as the Sharks won a back-and-fourth game as the Sharks had to comeback to use a 3 goal 3rd period to win 4-3 against Manchester. Game 2 is tonight and the Sharks look to rookie goalie Alex Stalock after going an impressively 41-19-2 record during the regular season in 61 games played.



In 6 games played so far in the playoffs, the Sharks goalie has a 5-1 record with a strong .928 SV%and a GAA of just over 2 in the playoffs.



Manchester has a strong goalie of their own as Jonathan Bernier who is being considered as a huge part of the future of the LA Kings org. will be able to be up for the challenge. So far in 5 playoff games he has a very strong .943 SV% and a 1.80 GAA so the Atlantic Division could come down to goaltending to eventually determine who will play the Hershey Bears in the Eastern Conference Finals.



The North & West Division Finals are now set as 2 Game 7's had to be played back on Monday & Tuesday to determine the last 4 in the Western Conference. The Texas Stars are beginning to emerge as a possible dark-horse team with the strong defense and goaltending that gave up just 5 goals in the 4 game sweep against Rockford.



If the offense can find it's grove, then the team's Calder Cup Chances will take a huge bump if players like Jamie Benn who had 6 points (3G 3A) and Aaron Gagon who's been off to a slow start, but looking to find his game that helped him become the team's leading goal scorer with 27 this season.

The Stars will be taking on the Chicago Wolves who had to survive a huge scare against Milwaukee as the Admirals won Games 5 & 6 to saw them off in Game 7 with goals by Anthony Stewart and Kevin Odell to end the Admirals season.



Chicago's defense has been a feast or famine in the playoffs. In the Division Semifinals against Milwaukee, the Wolves gave up 5 or more goals in 4 of the games. However in the other 3 the Wolves gave up 1 or fewer goals to help them win the series.



The North Division will have the Hamilton Bulldogs as they finished off Last Year's Calder Cup Runner Up Manitoba Moose in 6 games as the Bulldogs are going play the Abbotsford Heat who had to comeback from 3-1 down to win. It was a strong defense as the Heat outscored the Americans 10-2 in the last 3 games to win the series in 7 games and some are calling one of this year's biggest darkhorses in the Calder Cup Playoffs.



Due to the East & Atlantic Division Series, I will provide Boxscores of how those games have gone so far.
