Tony's Stars of the game

1 Aleister Crowley (VAN): A great performance from the rookie, scoring a goal with just 5 minutes of ice time. Terrifying for Detroit, and truly an excellent game for the youngster.

2. Jakub Hasek (DET): Detroit had an abysmal game here, but through it all there was a light shining at one and. Jakub Hasek somehow managed to save 38 out of 41 shots, while up front his team hardly looked like winning, posting just 11 shots and being lucky to score at all, let alone twice.

3. Wibbly McButternutz (DET): Many a sigh went up when this rookie was drafted by Detroit, anticipating a loooong season, but Wibbly was shown once again to be putting his body on the line for his team, blocking 3 shots, and he also posted an assist. Not a bad performance at all.
