Uggg, A Playoff jinx has started already for the Wings as the lines went haywire for this first game. Mike Dunham and Shawn Bates the two lone bright spots on the night. Dunham stopping 30 of 33 and Bates with both Detroit goals. The Newley aquired Jozeph Stumple was a late scratch in the lineup as he missed the team bus and got lost on the subway. Detroit will look to rebound in game two to tie the series up.

A playoff jinx? what jinx? you actually think the Wings stand a chance? The Preds a much better team and we will WIN, onto the game story...
Wings 2 Preds 3
Well the Preds let the wings hang around, but in the end the better team came out on top.

Preds got two of their goals from Zetterberg and the game-winner from Calder at the 15:59 of the third period.
Powerplay was blank, goin 0 for 4. Predators will have to capitalize on the man advantage to win the games much easily.
Game 2 in Nashville where the Preds will look to take the 2-0 lead in the series.
