Even though they entered the playoffs as the bottom team in the Eastern Conference the Detroit Red Wings seem like they have a chance to pose quite a threat to the Boston Bruins in the first round.

And when that guy is in the lineup and on top of his game there are few players in the game better than him.

That is your game winner.
