Really wish we had a 3-goal lead going into this last period. This is when playing our 5th game in 8 days could really make it close.

It's stunning that we've done as well as we have.

There's that youth factor again.



Speaking of which...who should wake Higgy from her nap?

9-2-0 in our last 11.


Now tied with Tampa Bay.

 

[sherbert1421]

this is the best offensive team the wings have had since 2009 imo

As a Bolts and Red Wings fan, you have to be in seventh hockey heaven right about now.

Zs line is worrisome at ES. They haven't been producing. You leave the second line though. Kind of interested in Gus and Mule switching spots till Abby is back. Hell Abby may be back Wednesday.

Tats-Dats-Helm
Mule-Z-Weiss
Gus-Sheahan-Abby

Intrigues me...

I really liked Brunner and wanted him back. Tats is a mighty upgrade. Tats' compete level is so much higher. Looking like a 50 point forward right now. Brunner was just on waivers and cleared.

Following players have a higher PPG than Gus.

Dats
Z
Weiss
Mule
Tats
Abby

And others over .50 PPG include Helm, Sheahan and of course Gus. So deep.

Jurcos got like 9 in 12 as well.

So deep.

Yes sir!
I hope both teams stay strong & battle for the overall point leader position. Wings have incredible talent & leadership. Babs got his 500th win, congrats to him! I really feel that barring any injuries the Wings can capture the Cup this year especially if they keep up this consistency of finding ways to win.

I still have not bought into the Cooper scheme of playing as a Bolt fan. Unlike the Wings, the Bolts play too inconsistent. They play down to the level of the teams with lesser achievement.

At the end of the day, being from the greater Motor City area, I still bleed Red Wing red & not Bolt blue. But this has been absolutely way more exciting than I could have asked for! It's great to be able to attend home games of each team & scream until I'm hoarse!
