The Boston Bruins just too much as they looked at least in the Extras Frame too physical for the Wings as they were doing way more work around the boards and they just appeared to be more active. Wings Net Minder Swede Jonas Gustavsson let that Milan Lucic goal just 1:15 into the 3rd frame to tie the game and that was huge as both teams were just covering Ice in the 3rd after that game-tying goal.

The Wings though looked more energized at the start due to Captain Henrik Zetterberg of Sweden back into the fold. Of course he is no where close skating wise where he normally is but he played well considering the circumstances and what was at stake for the Wings in Game 4.  The Wings got a Niklas Kronwall of Sweden goal in frame one to take a 1-0 lead. They then in the 2nd frame with the scores till 1-0 a Pavel Datysuk score as Russia stand up! The Wings then led 2-0 as Bruins Torey Krug "lit the lamp" in the middle of the 2nd for the Bruins 1st score to make it 2-1. Lucic then tied it in the 3rd to set up that game-winner in extras from Calgary Flames Royalty Jarome Iginla at the 13:32 mark a wrister as the "JOE" was in stunned silence!

Bruins And Finland's Tuukka Rask stopped 35 of 37 shots as the Wings and Sweden's Gustavsson stopped 37 of 40 shots.  The Spokes out shot the Wings in Extras 12-3...and putting the Frozen One on net that many times is the "Law of Averages"...one of those will find the nylon sooner or later!

Game 5 is Saturday April 26th at 3pm ET at the New Garden....Spokes going for the KO Punch up 3-1...
