Now, should Ozzie start on Tuesday? I say yes.

[#18 the _Hoss_ 2]

Someone wanted 2:0 ??? - there you go (X2)!!!

[interminded 1]

Ozzie's approaching his 2007/2008 form.

Confidence is everything.

[PenaltyShot 96 521]

SHUTOUT!!!!!! The Wings made this one look easy. More of this please!!!

[Electrophile 3,554]

100 points, a playoff berth.....all alone at #1......what a great freakin' day. I can't wait to call my sister and let her know.

[Barrie 900]

OZZIE, OZZIE, OZZIE!

We should have traded for a goaltender this deadline.

I can't believe we have to watch Osgood almost lose the game for us.

[dicksmack 33]

Very proud of the Wings today! What a complete all-around game that was... on back2backs no less... Satisfaction!

Totally. I say send him to GR for a little mental health breather.

Are we sure about a playoff berth? Nashville won yesterday.

Hudler with the famous tongue again, that's freaky

First off Congratulations to Detroit.

1st team in the league to 100 points. First team in NHL history to record 100 points in 9 straight seasons.

Secondly Congratulations to Ozzie.

Tied Mike Vernon (The Man who tutored him to be the goalie he is today IMO) at #11 on the all-time win list in 80 less games played with 385 Wins. Next up Dominic Hasek at 389 Wins. Keep up the great work Ozzie.

Good game boys!!!! Keep it up .....

I could have sworn I saw someone here say that if we won today, we clinched a playoff spot. Maybe I read wrong.

Minnesota can max out at 100. Nashville can max out at 99. Detroit, by beating Columbus, moved from 99 to 101. Clinched.

My bad..he TIED Vernon, one more win to pass him. I got a little excited. kljskgs!

[Drake_Marcus 890]

Great game tonight. Ozzy definitely deserves to be the player of the game. He was great in goal.

Keep it up Ozzy! Keep it up!

Loooved how physical Ericsson was around the net. Very aggressive defensive play from Big Rig. I'm proud of ya big guy! Too bad he's not getting many chances to put up the points, but that will come with time. I'm happy with the great defensive play Ericsson's provided. Can't wait to see what he does when he gets his cast off and starts seeing PP time.

The Wings have now clinched a playoff spot.

I think you may be right. I think if we won yesterday (which we did) and Nashville lost yesterday (which they didn't) we would've clinched a spot YESTERDAY. It's all a bit confusing.

EDIT: Xitium just cleared it up for us. Thanks man.

We did. The little "x" is up on nhl.com.

Go Wings!

Missed this game...Woulda been great to watch Ozzie chalk up a shutout. According to the game log I saw Meech played only a couple of minutes. Was that by design or did another injury strike?

First in the league What an awesome game. Beautiful goals by Franzen and Hossa.
