Every year the Red Wings seem to turn a goalie into a star in the playoffs.
Who ever heard of Dan Ellis before this playoff series with Nashville started?
Now, he is, as they say, standing on his head to make saves. He made 52 Friday night before Detroit finally got the puck past him in overtime on a nifty move by Johan Franzen.
The bad news for the Wings is that they will see better goalies than Ellis if they continue down the playoff road.
