Wings take game 2 by a 3-0 score. Pittsburgh has now gone 135 minutes and 57 seconds without scoring a goal.

Things got chippy at the end of the game with Pittsburgh getting physical and playing the body going after Wings goalie Chris Osgood as well as winger Johan Franzen.

While I understand why, and I would probably, "coach them up" the same way, I don't see how the Penguins think that roughing up the goalie and a player coming back from concussion-like symptoms would be the guys wearing the bullseye. Take Zetteberg or Datsyuk out of their games by going after them, they have done more damage to the Pens than Franzen. If you target Ozzie or Franzen the wings will just beat you on the power play.

Hockey Central guys were saying that was what the Pens need to do, to get try and gain some momentum, and while I understand that theory, it just appears that the Penguins are losing composure, and against a veteran team like the Wings, I don't see how that would work.

Anyone got any thoughts?
