Dan Cloutier was perfect in net and that offensive machine Eric Cairns netted the game winner in overtime as the Minnesota Wild shut out the Wings 1-0 and kept their season going. After sleepwalking through the first 3 games, all Red Wings wins, the Wild have won 2 in a row and go back to Minnesota down 3-2.
"Alive! It's Alive!!", joked Cloutier. "I was shocked that only 13,000 showed up to the game. The Wings didn't have the jump they had earlier in the series. Was our goal to keep the crowd quiet, and we did. Rest assured, our hockey fans in Minnesota will pack the arena for game 6."
Wings GM Drew Niece couldn't be reached for comment, apparently busy counting chickens.
