Howard is the only reason we are still here tonight IMHO.

Zetterberg performing in the clutch. Looked like 2008 zetterberg

 

[tsawchuk]

How sweet it is.

 

[sherbert1421]

Zetterberg and Datsyuk willed this team into the playoffs. And Howard with 3 shutouts in last 7 games

bring on Anaheim

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Bring on the playoffs! Yes!

I thought for sure this year the streak would end, glad for once I was wrong.

I don't expect the Wings to go far this playoff season, but who knows what might happen.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

We were starting to look like a decent hockey team these last 4 games.

Suck me raw Detroit.

As with a must win, your best players need to be your best players, and tonight Jimmy, Pavel, and Hank saw to it that this one wasn't going to slip away. I still can't get over how the addition of Danny DeKeyser has turned that defense around. Our d has become one that is much more conscious about their responsibilities in all 3 zones much more often than before the stork flew him into the fold. In looking to those games prior to when Danny was added, you could find flaws that led to dismal events nearly every game, whether we won or lost. In addition, that 3rd line has been quite impressive, and has become one that can be trusted on a regular basis to go beyond expectations in their responsibilities. We certainly are fortunate to have such competent personnel at the minor league levels to develop so many of these players, especially beyond many of the usual technical aspects of the game, in improving their instincts of being able to read the plays so well. These guys, in my opinion, have matured in such a short time beyond many people's wildest dreams.
