from Bob McKenzie of TSN,
The post-game comments from the Penguins revolved around obstruction and Chris Osgood’s flopping but the real story was that they failed to mount a forecheck in Game 2. Very early in the first period, it became very apparent they weren’t going to be able to get it done because of a number of factors.
First, the Penguins’ dump-ins weren’t good enough because Osgood’s puck handling allowed him to retrieve many of the pucks and set them up for his defence.
Secondly, the Red Wings’ defence is very mobile, skilled and smart and they get back very quickly.
