The team scored two goals in the first and second periods and then held on for the win. The Flames’ physical play didn’t really affect Detroit until roughly midway through the third period when Detroit didn’t skate as hard as they had for much of the game. At that point they became easy targets and the Flames finished every check.

Cleary was skating hard for the puck and it looked to me (a Wings fan obviously) that Kiprusoff was a little late in trying to make a play on the puck. If Cleary hit Kipper in the crease then sure, Cleary deserves to get pounded. But it looked to me that both players were outside the crease and were making a play on the puck. I just didn't see it as an intentional ploy to run Kiprusoff. You are certainly entitled to that opinion as a penalty was called.
