Yesterday, Game 2 of the Stanley Cup Final was presented at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit.The Detroit Red Wings, after defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins with ease by the score of 4-0 during Game 1, played an even better game as they only left bits to their opponents.During the first period, defenseman Brad Stuart scored his first goal of the playoffs as he opened the score for the Wings with a shot on Marc-Andr?leury’s stick side.Only a few minutes later, after the Penguins defense committed a turnover, Henrik Zetterberg’s shot was partially blocked by the Penguins’ goaltender. Tomas Holmstrom pushed the loose puck over the goal line to double the Wings lead.Valteri Fillipula completed the scoring during the third period with a spectacular individual play. As Fillipula was hooked down by defenseman Christopher Letang, the Finn managed to beat Fleury and extinguish any hope for a comeback.Final score: Detroit Red Wings 3 – Pittsburgh Penguins 0 (Detroit leads the series by 2-0)The Red Wings domination this far in the series is impressive.
The Penguins’ talented offense has been completely neutralized during the first two games.What was supposed to be an offensive showdown between the two finalists has turned out to be a Wings completelockdown. Once Detroit took a one- or two-goal lead during the first two games, the team completely closed the game, reducing the Penguins scoring chances to the minimum.Boring for hockey fans, but very effective.Game 3 will be played wednesday at Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh.. WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States is “extremely concerned” about the security situation in Pakistan, the White House said on Thursday, a day after Washington said Islamabad had abdicated to militants in the Swat valley region.Taliban militants have pushed closer to the capital Islamabad in recent days, saying their aim was to impose their harsh version of Islam across Pakistan. Unidentified gunmen attacked paramilitary troops who deployed to a district in the region on Thursday, killing a policeman escorting them.”I think the news over the past several days is very disturbing.
