Some people haven't. I watched Henri kick the puck in the net in game 6 of the finals to win the cup that year. All downhill after that. From Darkness with Harkness, treating Gordie like shit, to aggressive hockey is back, (Lindsay & Kromm) to having 4 seats 3rd row upper bowl the 2nd & 3rd yr. of the Illitch era. (FYI that was $32- per game for all 4) 20 plus years of mostly unremitting pain. I can't forget that pain ever. I hope I'm dead before they get even close to being that bad again.

I do agree...the past 20+ yrs have been amazing. :suds:

:agree: Amen TS, I hear or read Harkness and my skin crawls. The Joe era has been fun. :suds:

C'mon guys, this isn't a jinx. It's a celebration of the Red Wings march to the playoffs for the 25th straight year.

Come mid-April, it looks like the Joe Louis Arena may look more like the No Louis Arena.

Either way you're probably right, either the Wings don't make the playoffs or they play the team of destiny. We all know the Caps are going to win the cup in 16 straight game...you can book-it.

I'm fine with 23 games. ;)


Overall note, interesting to see this "mutually assured destruction" situation with Comeds and WingedWheel seems to be coming to fruition.

Incredible double jinx from the first weeks of the season if it happens.

It gets better.

I've got Boston winning it all.

With the Flyers and Bruins both losing today, Detroit finds itself in the highly coveted 3 spot in the Atlantic.


HUUUUUUUUUUGE game in Detroit on the 6th with the Flyers. Neither team plays again until then so the teams will be well rested and extremely determined.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas/Playoff hockey

Even better for the Wings, there's a good chance they'll get the suddenly-depleted Bolts in the first round. They may wind up being the most fortunate playoff qualifiers ever.

“I think overall we’re playing pretty good defense, and that’s something we talked about,” coach Jeff Blashill said after Saturday’s game.

Is Blas talking about the Wings or Griffins? :scratch:

Maybe he was referring to short spurts in the first period of the past two games?

I'm trying to think of the last time the Wings had a lead entering the 3rd period and didn't give up at least one goal. Has that even happened at all this year?
