Silver Nuggets: More on draft day trades; Binghamton preparing for Charlotte
For the first time since the NHL playoffs started, there are no games scheduled for tonight. But, thanks to the Red Wings 3-1 win last night over the Sharks, there will be a game seven tomorrow night. Detroit was incredible last night, but just couldn't find a way to score, and even fell behind in the third period. However, for the second straight game, the Red Wings scored three unanswered goals in the third period and came away with the victory. Forcing a game seven after being 3-0 behind is incredible enough, but consider the following. In game four the Red Wings scored the winning goal with 1:27 left, in game five they scored the winning goal with 6:08 left and in game six they scored it with 7:28 left. Also, if you get the chance to see the highlights, check out Pavel Datsyuk's pass on the winning goal. Wow!
