Shinzaki 72 Report post Posted March 6, 2014 4-5 years ago I thought there was a pretty decent chance that we would completely suck by now...that's the usual cycle. You contend for a time and win a cup if you're lucky and eventually you have to rebuild and scrape along the bottom. We aren't in that position because we've been able to ride our superstars and add spare parts here and there and now we're adding kids with top 6 talent and there's more in the pipeline. Make the playoffs and you have a chance. We had the champs on the ropes last year. Win that series and all that stood between us and a shot at the cup....again...was the Kings. There's no discernible gap between us and the Kings. To put it another way...I'll take Ken Holland and the playoffs over Joe Dumars and his perpetual trips into the NBA lottery.

Z and D for the C 712 Report post Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) That is a considerable stretch to put it mildly. In 2009 in looked like the Wings had the Cup pretty well in hand and we all know how that ended. I don't think it's a stretch at all. The Blackhawks cruised to the cup after beating us. Obviously anything can happen, but the best team Chicago beat was us. If only Filppula didn't get injured.....

e_prime 1,936 Report post Posted March 7, 2014 (edited) Game #21: We pick up a point and are tied with Columbus with 69 pts. Around us: #lumbus loses. Washington loses. Tampa loses. Game #20 to 23 : Tomorrow night vs. NJD. A win sure would be swell. Edited March 7, 2014 by e_prime 1 sjr2012 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joesuffP 1,746 Report post Posted March 7, 2014 We really should be undefeated since Olympic break the team has played solid hockey for the most part and deserved to win every game. Luck will turn. 1 Internet.Unknown reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jericho613 74 Report post Posted March 8, 2014 Wings will be fine. I see them making it to the playoffs again this year. Personally I want a high draft pick, but a lot of Wings fans would feel bad about the streak ending and I can sympathize but they need not worry the Wings will make the playoffs yet again. Its not gonna be easy, but when has it been easy the last 3 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
