Observations At The Wings Game

I attended the Wings/Flyers game tonight at JLA and Philly looked like a tired team. Playing last night in Chicago and being on the road for the longest road trip in NHL history had to make this a tough game for them.
Wings scored five goals in the 3rd period and won 6-3.
Nittymaki is a good, young goalie, but the Wings game plan was to shoot high all night long and it worked. The Wings actually had a game down low and it paid off for them.
Nice to see Yzerman pass Gordie in all-time assists, he received a standing O for the accomplishment and Steve looks to be improving his game more and more everyday. If used correctly, he will be a positive when the playoffs roll around.
Zetterberg returned to the wing and formed a line with Shanahan and Datsyuk. Shanny had four helpers, Datsyuk and Z were 2/2 giving the line a total of 12 points.
Again, Philly was on the last leg of a road trip that started on December 23rd, looked fatigued at times and did not play as well as they can. Wings on the other hand, looked like the dominant team and a good win leading up to the NBC game againt the NYR on Saturday afternoon.
