Red Wings 6, Ducks 3.
In some ways, the final score sounds worse than the Ducks' effort would indicate. On the other hand, when you take roughly 40 minutes off against the Detroit Red Wings, you get this -- a game in which Jonas Hiller was pulled, Jean-Sebastien Giguere made his 2009 playoffs debut, and an empty-net goal by Henrik Zetterberg sent many of the Honda Center-record 17,601 to the exits.

J.P. Hoornstra has been covering the Anaheim Ducks since 2007. Eight months after the University of Wisconsin won its third NCAA hockey championship, he was born in a frigid Madison winter. He betrayed his blue-blooded beginnings by graduating from UCLA in 2003, and welcomes any and all dialogue on the finer points of hockey.
