Good win tonight boyz even though it wasnt pretty early on but a win is a win in dramtic fashion. Good for our team.

Tonight saw the Wings` lowest shot total since April 1, 2004.

Whoever negged my last post care to explain why? Did you think it wasn't a snoozer? Did you think everyone played great? Do you think Nyquist played crappy? Don't just neg, explain why you disagree...

I havent read any of this thread but your post stuck out. I would say this was one of the worst wins of the season. My house had Jr Varsity, PeeWee and Senior league used as adjectives for the horrible performance by our team tonight.

IIRC we had something like 16 SOG and on paper 25% scoring is amazing but we played like the CBJ on a bad day.

It is completely obvious that our depleted team is the reason, no ifs ands or buts. Losing D wasnt the end of the world, it was losing Nicky, Howie, Bert, Ericsson (as much as I hate to admit) plus Kindl and Abby. We are missing a full line and most are starters.

I dont want to get all tinfoil hat style but I have wondered if all the injuries at once is actually a rest period for the guys that are older and/or are going to see a ton of minutes during the final push and into the playoffs. Its totally possible and completely crazy to think thats going on but it seems to make sense. On the other hand, maybe Im trying to rationalize the nuclear weapon that destroyed our team at a very inopportune time of the season.

Mmmmm, hockey porn....

Anyhow, mad props to Z and Flip, of course -- but also to Helm, Smith, and Nyquist. Love the youngbloods.
