11/7/13; Dallas Stars

The first period, it was pretty boring. Neither team really acted like they wanted the two points. There was only one penalty and that was given to Detroit's Cleary. 

The second period was a lot more exciting. Both teams came back and began playing like true NHL teams. Detroit picked up the first goal by Bertuzzi, assisted by Zetterberg and Datsyuk. Second goal, a special goal, was scored by Almquist, making it his first NHL goal. 

With 20 seconds left of 2nd period, Dallas scored, making it 2-1 Detroit after the 2nd.

Third period is when the Stars started really coming after the Wings and vice versa. Players from both teams were tripping on each other and just making themselves look funny out on the ice. Dallas scored two goals and tied it up. About half way through, Detroit scored with Datsyuk, making it 3-2. 

1:10 left of third period, Abdelkader was in the box and Dallas pulled their goalie to put an extra guy on the ice. That's when they scored, sending the game into Overtime.

18 seconds left of overtime, Dallas scored and won the game.

At least our guys got one point out of this game. That puts us at 2nd in division just above the Leafs and under the Lightning. 

Hopefully they do better in their game against the Lightning on Saturday.
