Red Wings received first defeat in nine matches

The Red Wings lost on game 4 for the Western Conference division title, and it was their first defeat after 9 straight victories, and it was a look back into the real world for the Wings nonetheless.

The Stars are trusting his goal keeper Marty Turco to play well on meeting five on Detroit in order to look a second victory on the series that the Red Wings is winning 3-1. But there is something Dallas would preffer to forget before flying to Detroit: the Red Wings have won 7 straight meetings playing at home.

Now, they must be glad as Detroit’s leading scorer Johan Frazen will miss his fourth straight meeting due to injuries, at least that should come as a sign of comfort for a team that is facing porbably the best team in the history of the NHL and that has advanced to the Stanley Cup finals 5 times in the past 11 years.

If everthing turn in the Red Wings favor, they will wait for the winner of the Eastern Conference semifinal series between the Penguins and the Flyers, with Pittsburgh leading 3-1 and standing as the favored to advance.
