When the Detroit Red Wings’ Filip Zadina couldn’t convert a pass from Filip Hronek in overtime during Monday’s loss, I flashed back to another another 3-on-1 that absolutely converted. It’s funny because it feels like a lifetime ago: the 2009 Western Conference Final between the Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks.
When they couldn’t score a goal last night, I figured it was definitely time for some nostalgia.
