Detroit's Goals For is a meager 11, ahead of last place teams Florida, Carolina and Buffalo (5,10 and 8 respectively).

So how come the Red Wings have 7 pts out of a possible 10? Get this -

Detroit's Goals Against is an astonishing 8. The next closest teams to this stat are Ottawa and Pitt with 10 each, but the Pens have played one less game than both the Wings and the Sens.

Two games against the anaemic Leafs will do that for a team's GA.

pavel datsyuk in the lineup tonight according to babcock

 

[sherbert1421]

no doubt the wings defense has been improved, mostly due to smith, quincey, and howard's drastic improvement over last season

Jokes on you then because the Habs got Thibault in that deal....

That was about a year or so before I became a fan. I really picked a good time huh?

 

[Cobiemonster]

Should be a good game - we'll see if Detroit can keep it up

 

[Comeds]

The Habs have a great record but haven't played well in many of the games. They looked good Saturday, probably the best all season. Mm

lol - Yup, those were some dark years in Habs history (dark years for the Flames and Canucks as well).

Pierre McGuire tells TSN Radio 690 that NHL teams continue to take the Canadiens lightly - often at their peril. He also praises P.K. Subban's play after another incredible weekend.

PK has a stalker!

Better than getting Tebow, I guess....

PK kissed Pierre. He brought this plague upon himself.

That's the opposite of jumping on a bandwagon. That's like jumping on to a burning wooden carriage. That's like the rats jumping off the Titanic, leaving Leonardo di Caprio to die a slow, painful and satisfying death. That's like parachuting into a nuclear mushroom cloud. That's like driving 56 MPH in a 55 MPH speed zone without wearing your seatbelt.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is, you have my respect.

What have I missed so far?

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

I think Nyquist may be out a few teeth.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

Wings already 0/3 on the powerplay with no shots on the last one.

Ho hum.

 

[Winged_Wheel88]

It was in the first time.

That's what Dash said.
