Blackhawks fall to Red Wings, 5-3.
The alternate headline could have been:
Uretsky Leads Blackhawks To Final Regular Season Loss. But we don't
want to pick on the Komodo Dragon too much.
Safe to say, the Blackhawks were resting some key players this week as the playoffs loomed next week.
The Wings had 5 different scorers as they scalped the lackluster Hawks, 5-3.
Blue was missing Bruner and Anderson, Red was missing Ambrosino and Coggiano. Andy Long, one of the league leaders now in games played for the Red Wings, had a goal with just 2 seconds left in the 2nd period, and he felt it was a key goal.
"Not only did it tie the game at 2-2, it provided a much needed spark for a team full or role players and grinders," said Long. "There are no real superstars on this team, well none since they traded Brian Armand. So I don't mind filling that void."
We hate to agree with Long, but goals early in the third by Brian Leslie, Marc Teal, and Jeff Rogato seem to prove the whole spark theory.
The Hawks seemed happy in the loss and to be resting their top guns for the playoffs next week.
Must be all part of the bigger evil plan.
"I have got to get me one of those for next season," said Bill Osbahr. "Can you get them online or something?"
