WINGS COME OUT FLYING

It is do or die in Denver but the Colorado Avalanche didn't get the greates of starts as they try to stave off elimination against the Detroit Red Wings in Game 4 at the Pepsi Center. The Red Wings got of to a flying start as Michael Samuelsson scored what looked like a soft goal on Jose Theodore.

The Avs did get an equalizer from Tyler Arnason, but the Wings took back the lead late in the first when Henrik Zetterberg served Tomas Holmstrom with a perfect pass. With a minute left of the period the Avs gave up the puck in the neutral zone and red-hot Johan "The Mule" Franzen did what he's been doing all playoffs, he scored.

It's 5:12 am here, the second period just started and Peter Budaj has come on for Theodore. Here we go!

Just as I was about to post this, Henrik Zetterberg scored on a rocket as the Wings were on the power play.
