Blueliner 69 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 Who would have thought the Wings would have reached 100 points with all the injuries this year? What a year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marty Barry 230 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) I don't know if it's record to have 100+ points for 10 years in a row but I sure am proud! Way to go Wings!!! If you had to put a roster together from our last 10 years, who would you put on it? Who would you not? This could get pretty controversial.

Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 I believe we actually broke the record last year with 9 straight. So we extended the record with the W tonight. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dat's sick 1,002 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 After this season it's an accomplishment and it's nice to keep the streak alive. However it's obviously easier nowadays with the loser-point. We have 14 of those.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest L3T5G0W1NG5 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 Woot, another year closer to breaking the NHL record (18 - Boston Bruins). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zetts 236 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 I would like to point out that despite the Wing's difficult season, they'd currently be second in points if they were in the East, behind only Washington. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OzWing19 24 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 Pretty awesome effort considering the personnel losses earlier in the season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 No, this is a record. 9 was a record last year. Maybe he's alluding to the Bruins' record of consecutive playoff appearances? Though, the number is wrong. The Bruins hold the current record at 29 straight years. This year marks 19 for Detroit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CanadaBoy 151 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 (edited) No, this is a record. 9 was a record last year. 9 is the consecutive 100 point seasons record. 18 is the total 100 point seasons record. Edited April 10, 2010 by CanadaBoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jedi 1,865 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 9 is the consecutive 100 point seasons record. 18 is the total 100 point seasons record. Ah, gotcha. Thanks for the clarification! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

robat 13 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 Honestly didn't think we'd make it to 100 this year. Pleasantly surprised. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dropkickshanahans 463 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 I would like to point out that despite the Wing's difficult season, they'd currently be second in points if they were in the East, behind only Washington. I noticed this too. Remember early in the season when no one could beat the Pens? And we were struggling? My how we've come a long way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WMUCarGuy 8 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 9 is the consecutive 100 point seasons record. 18 is the total 100 point seasons record. This was the Wings' 16th 100 pt season so we're catching them fast! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kira 451 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 Considering what we've been through this season, we should look back on this accomplishment as one of the best. To think that when we were back in December we were despairing of even making the playoffs, and to come to this point says a lot about our guys. Their courage, determination and work ethic is nothing short of a wonder. We tend to take our good fortunes for granted. I think this season has proven that a) We shouldn't, and b) We've accumulated the best damned bunch of hockey players we could ever ask for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Travis 576 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 I agree with everything that's been said (how could you not?). It's amazing to reach 100 points when we weren't sure of anything a few months ago. It's even more amazing when you look back at seasons past and see that we're only about 6 wins away from the same point totals we've had in much less trying years.

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 This team and franchise is in a class of its own. Lose nearly 100 goals in the off-season, have nine injured regulars out at one point, played more games than any other team the past three seasons, and compete in by far the superior conference... Yet, another 100-point season and a chance to make some noise again in the playoffs. Yeah, we got it real tough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cmonster 11 Report post Posted April 10, 2010 I hate to be Negative Nancy, but as nice as 100 pt seasons are, the true measure of this franchise now is not anything in the regular season. As Wings fans, are expectations should be much higher, as in Stanley Cup or bust. The teams we have had for the last 15-20 years were Stanley Cup contenders. So, yes, I will break out the golf clap applauding 100 pts, but I want to celebrate in June! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Essentially what you're saying is that we should all be so spoiled by the team's success that we shouldn't be happy or appreciative about their regular season performance. And you do indeed sound utterly spoiled, given the challenges that this team has had to overcome so far this season. That you are so spoiled and unappreciative of this team is sad. That you think the rest of us should mimic your behavior is beyond ludicrous. Edited April 10, 2010 by Crymson 1 NJmonak10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The most important season though is just a few days away. He's not saying anything all that out of the ordinary.
