Pavel Datsyuk gives the Red Wings a 1-0 lead on the power play.

Phoenix does not capitalize one the power play.


Late in the 2nd Stuart makes it 4-1 Red Wings. We all know the story of the Phoenix. They need to pull something like that off or it's over.


Just a little bit over 6 minutes gone in the 3rd and Bertuzzi bangs home a rebound to make it 5-1.


And the hits just keep on coming. Lidstrom on the power play. 6-1.

And that's how it ends. Detroit eliminates Phoenix in 7. The 2 western semi-final matches are set. One more game 7 tomorrow to figure out the east.
