Chris Kuc, Chicago Tribune; Chicago defenseman Brian Campbell gave the puck away at the Detroit blueline in OT, ten seconds later that same puck was in the back of his own net and the Detroit Red Wings have a 2-games-to-none stranglehold on the series. Yet Campbell says he'd make the same play again. Hey, dopey, the result would be the same as well. The Blackhawks may now be regretting the monster contract they gave this joker in the off-season as the bonehead mistakes and streaky play continue.Ted Kulfan, Detroit News; Ted gives his Three Stars of Game 2 which are identical to mine; Chris Osgood, without the big stops he made earlier and often, see Dave Bolland's shorthanded chance with the Hawks up 1-0, the Wings are going to a hostile United Center tied at a game apiece. Mikael Samuelsson, two Detroit wins, two game winning goals, ho-hum. Jonathan Toews, he willed his team into overtime with two key goals, too bad Brain Campbell willed his team to an 0-2 hole in the series.
Michael Rosenberg, Detroit Free Press; Chris Osgood may have struggled during the regular season but in the post season his star has shined as bright as any member of the Red Wings and in Game 2 his was the brightest.
With the Chicago Blackhawks down 2-0 to the Detroit Red Wings, sorry Mr. Bettman, the Western Conference Finals are over. So bring on the Eastern Conference champs and lets wrap this season up before the beginning of June. Or at least that's the view of columnists in both cities as Terry Foster of the Detroit Free Press and Rick Morrissey of the Chicago Tribune write.
Tim Sassone, Daily Herald; The Blackhawks still believe and according to Brian Campbell the Red Wings have done what they're supposed to do, win at home. Yea, I know a series doesn't start until a team wins on the road, thats great. You know what else you hear? Baby daddy's proclaiming, "I take care of my kids". As Chris Rock says, "You're supposed to take care of you're kids" (@1:54, NSFW).
