After every Red Wings' score, Pittsburgh goalie Marc-Andre Fleury has a habit of skating to the corner to try to get his anger out. Saturday night, there were a lot of quick trips. The Wings would score, Fleury would skate to the corner - and into a sea of Wings fans cheering and banging the glass. Finding no relief, he'd curl back to his net. He did this after the first, the second, the third and the fourth Detroit goals. Finally, after the fifth, he took a longer skate - all the way to his bench, clomping through the door, and headed down the tunnel, done for the night.

PITTSBURGH - Uh-oh. This is not good. I don't want to say signs are ominous, but if the Red Wings passed a fortune teller right now, they would hide their palms in their pockets. The stars came out for the Penguins on Thursday night, and it is officially no longer last year anymore. Last year, the Stanley Cup finals were never tied. Last year, the only team with a chance to win in six was the Wings. Last year, Sidney Crosby seemed a lot younger, and Evgeni Malkin seemed like just one man, instead of the five he looked like in Game 4 - here, there, everywhere.

There's a buzz that Pavel Datsyuk might return to the ice tonight. Good. He can bring an oxygen tank for Henrik Zetterberg.No one has felt Datsyuk's absence more than Zetterberg, who is left to be 1) the blanket over Sidney Crosby, 2) the magic man of playmaking, 3) an integral part of the power play and penalty kill and 4) the inspirational youthful leader in the locker room. After that, he cures world hunger.I'm surprised he hasn't changed it to Zzzzzzzzetterberg."Hey," he said, laughing Wednesday, "I'm just happy to get the ice time."
