Ahh the Octupus delay in Game one. The Refs are shovelling the debri from the Octupus and now the puck is to be dropped in historic Joe Louis!

The Biggest News for the start of the game is Forsberg is out with a groin injury. McCormick replaces him in the line-up

Stastny scores the first goal from Smyth and Hejduk, and Zetterberg answers. All tied up at 1

Theo can't find the rebound and it bounces right in the net. Theo has looked a little shaky thus far

At the end of the first the Wings lead the Avs 3-1

___________________________________________________________________

A difficult start to the Second. To begin, Wolski is out for the remainder of the game, not sure what the injury exactly is

Theo is yanked in favor of Budaj after the 4th goal

Avs have to chip away here, still lots of hockey left

Liles sneaks one in on Osgood. The Avs are right back in the game now.Can we see a shift of momentum?

Hejduk with a pretty goal from Stastny and Smyth. The momentum has switched

___________________________________________________________________

Start of the third and now Theodore isn't even on the bench. He was feeling ill so he left the rink and went back to the hotel. Tyler Weiman is the backup

Scotty Hannan took a puck on the foot and barely gets off the ice and heads to the dressing room

The Avs tried to chip away but the Wings end up winning. A game saving save by Osgood on Liles to secure the victory
