Comment 2: The Close One-Sided Game
If you don't look at any stats past the score you would think that this was an evenly matched game, but it was far from that. Vancouver only faced 11 shots during the entire game. During the entirety of the first period, Detroit only managed to get one shot on goal. Almost the entire game the play was controlled by Vancouver, but they just couldn't seem to find the back of the net. Luckily they managed to beat Jakub Hasek 3 times on their 41 shots as that was just enough to put them past the 2 Detroit scored from their 11 shots. If it wasn't for Hasek having a great game the score could be much more one-sided.

Comment 3: Three Stars
Third Star: Jeremy Chen (VAN)
Chen had a pretty good game, playing just over 7 minutes, but still managing to get a goal early on to give Vancouver an early lead off the powerplay. He also managed to get 3 shots on goal during the few minutes he played.

Second Star: Josh Driver (DET)
Josh Driver was another player with a low amount of minutes this game, but he played a big role in why this game was so close. Scoring the first goal of the game for Detroit in the third period after they were being outshot by a ton gave his team some life.

First Star: Aleister Crowley (VAN)
Aleister Crowley played less than 5 minutes during this game but still managed to somehow get a goal, put up 3 shots and finish with a +/- of 1. That's a lot in just a few minutes of play. Crowley was flying out there, every shift he managed to get something going. Truly deserving of the first star this game even though he only got to play a few minutes.
