Will we get a winning streak going?

D Change -- DeKeyser returns to lineup tonight, paired with Cholowski. Blashill didn’t reveal who he replaces.

i was ready to write this one as another "go with the flow" performance, without that little push at the end this is exactly what i was. Expecting a confident bunch after a fun win in Minny let's say that i was expecting Something better in the first period. At home we are a mess, no cohesion, no structure, that goal given up on the PP showed how messy in our zone we can be, no one was at the right place !
Cohesion and play as a unit was missing in action today.

..but we had an opponent (a very rare one) who is worst than us...we Don't win against ANY other team in the league with a perofrmance like that.

Individually Nyquist, even he scored late, was missing in action, forcing our loveable coach to mix up lines...with just enough success to score a few goals

Overall let's not brag about this one..yeah first back to back win since demember first..yeppi !!

Sadly each two points now hurts the Wings in the long run. Same with each upcoming win for my beloved Detroit Tigers. Sucks when you have to lose to win but that is the situation both teams are in.

As of today the Wings are in sixth place (from last overall) with 43 points in 48 games. . The goal should be to finish in dead last. HOWEVER four of the teams ahead of Detroit( (in the race for last) have games in hand lead by Florida who has three. All teams ahead have between 40-42 points so the race is very close just past the halfway mark. The only team in worse shape than Detroit is Chicago who have played the same amount of games as Detroit yet have two fewer points (41). From here on out I am rooting for Detroit to play just bad enough to secure the best chance at Hughes or whoever. Finishing last by one point is my goal. This is not my first rodeo in this hoping for suckage for my team. A few years back we here in Indy had a campaign you may have heard of called..."Suck for Luck"...and my Colts did just that. Has yet to pay off with a Super Bowl but when healthy the team is as good as almost all others. HOPE to be alive to see our Wings hoist ONE MORE CUP! LGRW!!!

Little enjoyment for me with this team. I don't schedule my life around the Wings schedule anymore. I've mist more DRW hockey this year than in decades. I do enjoy watching younger guys develop. I think we're building up a bit but the coach and GM frustrate me. I want to see the young guys in all key situations so next season they'll have the experience under their belts and not have the deer in the headlight if thrown in a certain situation.

Dick...it's part of the fun...to have pain ! lol…

I find myself cursing at the tv and getting frustrated more this season than ever before. Some nights..it aint fun to Watch the game..i agree with you.

But its part of the deal...we can't win all the time, we've been blessed for so many years, now its not easy, but it will be back. Right now i take little fun by little fun, like a good AA rush, a good Cholo first pass, a good Lil Bert crazy intensity etc...

This is how i Watch the game, i have less patient with the vets, i would love to see them all gone, maybe except Green, to see Howard in goal 3 games out of 4 makes no sense if you are rebuilding, we need to trade him at TDL and give the net to Bernier and the best goalie in the minor at the moment to finish this current season. i'd give a game to Larsson in goal with GR just to see how far he is from the NHL...

Anyway i watch the game closely, been doing this all my life...it will never change for me, i'm cureless.
