Trailing by a goal, 20 minutes from letting a 3-1 series lead dissolve into a Game 7 on the home ice of the reigning Stanley Cup champions, coach Dave Tippett had a simple message for the Dallas Stars.

The Detroit Red Wings are very talented. In Game 6 against the Nashville Predators, they were also lucky.

The Detroit Red Wings and Nashville Predators went through a range of emotions and only one team liked the lasting feeling.

Both of the Detroit Red Wings' goaltenders have won Stanley Cups, and Dominik Hasek is one of the NHL's winningest goalies.

The Detroit Red Wings, the NHL's best team during the regular season, spent most of the time before Game 4 on Wednesday night with the Nashville Predators talking about emotions like composure and their motivation.

While Miikka Kiprusoff made the most saves in Game 2, Evgeni Nabokov undoubtedly made the biggest when he kept San Jose out of a two-game playoff hole.
