Comment 2: Third Period Brawl
After Perry Morgan sent a Detroit player into the boards dangerously a huge brawl erupted between the two teams. Viklund stepped in to defend his teammate and started pushing Morgan, that's when Kyllonen came in and then all hell broke loose. We saw Viklund and Kyllonen fight with both players getting some good punches in but they just ended up running out of gas. At the same time, we had Mr. Faceoffs and Marc Palicka that just ended up being a quick wrestling match with neither player really able to land any good punches. And finally we had Laraque and Smeb go at it, two smaller players, but Smeb definitely the smaller of the two at only 5'7" and 150lbs. At the start, Smeb was just getting tossed around but managed to land a few good punches before the refs ended up stepping in. Overall, great fights from both teams with players you wouldn't expect to be fighting stepping up.

Comment 3: Three Stars
Third Star: Scott Niedermayer Jr. (DET)
Finishing the game with an assist a plus/minus of 2, a shot, a hit, and a block, Niedermayer Jr. didn't have an amazing game in any single category but had a well-rounded game that helped his team come out on top. Sometimes having a well-rounded game and doing the small things right is the most important thing you can do.

Second Star: Franz Cooper (DET)
After Halifax tied the game up midway through the second period Cooper scored the game-winning goal just 20 seconds later. Cooper finished the game with a goal, 3 shots, a hit, and plus/minus of 1. Cooper also played major minutes on both the powerplay and the penalty kill.

First Star: Josh Driver (DET)
The third liner didn't even get to play 10 minutes this game, but still managed to put up a great goal, a hit, and a blocked shot. Driver managed to help his team achieve victory in multiple ways and all in such a short period of time.
