Winning is always better than losing.

 

[Sadekuuro]

I wish we could get bounces like that when it actually matters

 

[NervousPerson]

Victory! A strange way to get there but I'll take it.

Nyquist, Z and Mantha looked good.

Mrazek did not.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Winning is always better than losing.

Unless you're not gonna make the playoffs and need a high pick

Well at least mantha got points and it was a high scoring game

Wings have a 6.1% chance of winning the President's Trophy if they win their remaining games.

I like those odds.

So you're saying there's a chance

 

[SpookyTsuki]

Tampa bay is the worst in the east

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Winning is always better than losing.

Sometimes losing today means winning tomorrow.

Makes sense. Kenny said they should finish neck to neck with TB

 

[theYman]

Well look at that. Dekeyser deflects a puck into the right net for once and we win the game.

Imagine a wings vs bolts series again? Barf

 

[LarKing]

We can't even beat Tampa at tanking. I hate that team.

 

[J-Swift]

It's too bad Z will be remembered as the captain who ended the playoff streak. He's been their best player and he can barely skate.

I dunno, I'm kind of hoping that in the distant future we'll be talking about the Cup again someday rather than "the streak."

Sucks for him but I'd rather he be the one then lidstrom. Or Larkin/someone likeable that would be next

 

[Frk It]

At this point winning is almost like...

 

[wings95]

Glad they wion! Never like it when the Wings lose.

 

[KJoe88]

Wings beat the Isles, 5-4.

For some reason I believe the team still makes the playoffs.

Don't ask why.

 

[PuckDynasty]

Z and Glendening double shifted at the end and Vanek and Double A ride the pine. Helm with the big giveaway. Dekeyser with even more bonehead mistakes. Hard to get too excited about the "win".

Because Atlantic is trash

I'm fine with making the playoffs if we aren't guaranteed top 3. But next year? Nah I want dahlin

My agenda is to experience quality hockey. This was close enough. Have to give Detroit credit they played their guts out. Skated hard and through the 2nd and 3rd were everywhere on top of NY. Islanders had a good start, lot of shots and chances but we matched them with some decently skilled hockey for a change.

I can understand the intense dislike some have for Helm. Grrrrr. I guess his goal evened things out but he and Glendening (Abdelkader) have the worst hands ever.

What's up with Green? Guy causes a goal (like the 1st off a bobbled puck) at least once a game. Weird he never seems to start on time, then wakes up and has like 50 toe drags making opponents look like children. Funny player to figure out.

Nice to cheer for some goals, laughed when we got tied up and laughed again with the win. Reading the comments I've still got a smile on my face.

I've realized the last weeks my intentions and desires for the Wings to get better quickly are kind of a lost cause. In pro sports it takes years sometimes for complete failure or success to take shape. At least there will always be the top teams in the NHL to watch for.

Go Svede Vings!

No. I genuinely believe Z will essentially will the team into the playoffs.

I think the team has a good stretch coming up.

Also, TB is overrated. Always have been. Cannot believe I'm still the minority in believing we outplayed them the playoffs and they got the bounces... And the refs.

Meh the top teams aren't interesting to watch that much. Unless they have a great dcore. Which thankfully the top 3 teams do. Washington. Cbj. Minnesota.

We should have won the first series. Second? No way


Also I told somebody the wings probably have a better record in February because we face harder teams. Idk if it was you or who
