A day at the resort

If you're looking for a nice vacation spot, this one comes highly recommended by the Red Wings.

With an extra off-day between Games 3 and 4, and with the league insisting the Wings stay local rather than flying home during the two-day break, the entire team took a day to relax Thursday. They boarded buses late in the morning and headed for the hills to Nemacolin Woodlands Resort a little more than an hour away from Pittsburgh.

Some played golf on the PGA Tour track there. Others went fly fishing. (Henrik Zetterberg was the only one to land a fish and a frustrated Chris Chelios cast his entire rod into the water at one point.) Mike Babcock enjoyed a little skeet shooting. Dallas Drake lounged by the pool.

Kris Draper and Chris Osgood took home the mini-putt golf title, beating four other two-man teams: Cleary-Maltby, McCarty-Helm and Quincey-Hartigan.

"It was a little easier than we thought," Draper said, laughing. "Couple hole-in-ones. Ozzie elevated his game once again. I was riding Ozzie's coattails like I have been for the last two months."
