As expected, the Penguins performed more admirably at home, winning Game 3, 3-2. Great third period, as good a display of playoff hockey as I've seen in a long, long time.
The Wings were pretty good themselves, but I really like Babcock's self-criticism after the game. I also thought the Wings lacked flow because Zetterberg and Datsyuk were getting too much ice time. As a coach, you have to use all your guys, because it only leads to a choppy game, and that's what the Wings played. When they go full-guns with their lines, the Wings have so much energy. It was good at the start, when the Wings had a 9-1 advantage in shots on goal, and then, when some penalties started to come their way, the Wings relied far too heavily on the Dynamic Duo.
More later.
