Believe: Game 2, Detroit 3-2 San Jose
As I wrote on Thursday, "Victory!" The Sharks are a skillful and formidable opponent, but we should not forget that the Red Wings, too, are skillful and formidable. And there is not an ounce of quit in this year's squad. Prevailing in the remainder of the series will be a severe trial, and San Jose deserves a good deal of credit for stealing a game, the most any road team can ask in a best of seven series, but I remain confident the Red Wings will rise to the occasion and emerge a stronger, more fearsome team. Why so confident? Three unanswered goals and the first win in the 2007 playoffs by a team down 2-0 at any point in a game. In the famous words of John Paul Jones, the Red Wings "have not yet begun to fight!"
