Detroit almost let one slip away in game one but they showed how good they really are by coming back to win in 2OT. I think the Oilers will be down psychologically after that, saying to themselves "geesh - if we can't win that one, what chance do we really have?" Meanwhile, the win bolsters Detroit's confidence and they do NOT want to get down again early tonight after that scare. The Red Wings are now 14-4-1 vs. Edmonton here including 4-1 over the last three seasons. They are just too tough and they take game #2 here.
