from Jason Kay of the Hockey News,
At what point does secondary scoring become primary?
That’s the question we asked ourselves as “second-liners” Johan Franzen (three goals) and Valtteri Filppula (one) helped propel the Detroit Red Wings to an easy 5-1 victory over the Colorado Avalanche Saturday afternoon.
For Franzen, it was the second consecutive multi-goal contest, giving him the team and league lead with seven. And the talented Swede can score them in a variety of ways.
continued & some ref talk too…
added 8:22pm, from the 2008 Stanley Cup Playoffs blog at CBC,
“He’s got a hot stick right now,” Avalanche coach Joel Quenneville said. “Everything he touches seems to be going in. I think we need to be a little tighter around the net and make it a little more challenging in that area.”
Yeah, just a little. The Avs were thoroughly embarrassed in this one, getting outshot 40-20. The team has lost six straight to Detroit this season, and four straight in the playoffs since 2002.
“We’ve got to regroup, and figure out how we’re going to get better,” said captain Joe Sakic, who has no points in the series.
