Wings Take First Game

The Red Wings jumped out for a 1-0 series lead last night.

The highlight of the game had to be Justin Abdelkader‘s absolutely ridiculous goal.

Game two is tonight.  While the back-to-back games are for tv reasons, I think it’s great.  It’s fun to see the Cup just fly out of the gate.  Plus, it’ll be June tomorrow.  Not a hockey month.

Whoops

I forgot to open up the Cup Finals preview yesterday, so that’s live now.  Jamie and I both picked the Pens, so opening that late doesn’t do us any favors.
