12/31 GDT: Avalanche 2 at Red Wings 4

[XxGoWingsxX 0]

I gotta say, great new years eve game. The boys played with more heart than i've seen in FOREVER. Nobody truly played a bad game tonight. everybody chipped in and earned that win. Maybe they'll ride this momentum into the new year, while getting injured players back and show everybody else in the league why they are the big red machine. Happy new years everybody.

Wins are so ******* satisfying now. Again, Helm is the man and I can't wait for my jersey to come in

[Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204]

We deserved to win, we won. Helm with 2 shorties nice, and Datsyuk looked good. I cant believe Leino scored... I also cant believe that it pissed me off haha, but I sure am glad we got the 2 points.

And the Dives continue to fade in 3rd periods.

They're very young. They're very inexperienced. And they played last night, too.

Thank GOD! The Wings needed this Win.

[ShanahanMan 473]

Thank freakin god

[jeff48109 474]

this was a total team effort! Leino where the hell has this effort been?

[CanadaBoy 151]

Ending off the decade with a win

Happy New Year Red Wing's Fans

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Gotta say having Flip back has made a big impact. He owned the puck on that shift that ended with Leino's clutch deflection.

Cleary comes back next game. It's getting better, man.

[Finnish Wing 110]

Three stars:

1. Helm

2. Yip

3. Lidstrom/Leino/Datsyuk

[HanKarin40 7]

Great team win!!! Happy New Year Everyone!!!

[Aussie_Wing 354]

Darren Helm you superstar.

2 SHG, 5 SOG, 10-4 on faceoffs, +2.

Awesome game mate!

And Flipper, welcome back, you're playing great. Ritola, you have a future in Detroit.

[Outsider 42]

By the way....

Happy New Year, Wings fans!

[Guest zackmorris]

Best team of the decade ends it off with a win against Colorado. If only we didn't bury the rivalry at the beginning of the 00s.

Filppula coming back has done wonders.

Yup. Which is why I'm hoping they'll also fade in the second half of the season.

Leino played like a true Canadian tonight.

On the same line as May and Abby, and it rubbed off on him. He played tough along the boards and contained the puck well.

Next game, we'll see a fight from him.

[brett 1,029]

told you leino would have to score for us to win again!!

and f***in helm with 2 shorthanded goals holy s***

dats with one lids and flip with assist

HAPPY NEW YEAR

heres to a healthy one!

Agreed, him throwin the body is great, and making plays. Hopefully it both keeps up..

[j.hoop 64]

what a game by helm, it was only time until one of his breakaways produced something this year

[EuroTwin 240]

A WIN!

YAY

I think the reason I wasnt happy to see Leino score was now he's going to be the only thing you talk about forever

[RedWings Gone Wild 6]

Lidstrom has 6 assists in his last 7 games... maybe he's finally getting the offense going. He's certainly made some beautiful passes the last few games.

[Guest mindfly]

Tbh i didn't want leino to score because it might rise his stocks to earn a roster sport even when everyone is healthy

[Heroes of Hockeytown 694]

Yes, it would be awful if he kept playing well and earned a roster spot.

Do you even think before you type?

[haroldsnepsts 4,826]

Tbh i didn't want leino to score because it might rise his stocks to earn a roster sport even when everyone is healthy

you are un-******* believable.

I hope you're doing some weird Andy Kaufman routine, because otherwise I'm sad for you.

[Guest mindfly]

I would much rather have ritola in the lineup than leino
