Throughout the Wings' dressing room Thursday, anger smoldered. The Wings know how to exact revenge, just ask Colorado, still nursing wounds more than a year later. But the key in Game 3 tonight, after Dallas' 3-1 victory, will be composure. The Stars are playing mean, and the Wings can take advantage of it, if they avoid dumb penalties. Hits feel good, and believe me, we'll see more from the Wings.
Goals feel better, and if they really want to demoralize Dallas, do it on the power play.
The Stars admit they take penalties willfully, to send a message. Fedorov, Shanahan and Yzerman have combined for one point in two games. It's not about running guys through the boards. We can't retaliate. But if the power play isn't working, the plan might have to change, before Fedorov and Yzerman get driven through the ice.
