The Wings are playing the Kings right now and just scored as I wrote this.
Wings get a goal from Kirk "Stones for hands" Maltby. Up 1-0 with 11:52 left in the first.
Nobody can stop this team.
The Cup stays in Detroit this year.

But the Wings are younger this year than they were last year when they won...
It's Detroit! It's cold as f*ck here. Hockey is all we have...
Cheer
Cheer
Cheer
Blackhawks will take the Central.
Dreamland.
If Detroit doesn't go all the way, I guess I'd want to see them drop it to San Jose.
But after watching the Wings for a half a season, I don't think anyone can beat them in a 7-game series.
I love that, so far, they have shaken the notion that there is some kind of a "Stanley Cup hangover".
At any rate, if anyone beats Detroit, they will have earned their championship.
We'll see how the rest of the season goes, though.
Maybe it's just that I come from Detroit, where hockey is king year round. But I really feel like the last two years have shown that the league is getting better (for TV spectators) and that the games are getting more fun to watch for people who aren't necessarily "hockey fans".
But we'll see what happens.
Can't deny that I'm still totally excited for the NHL playoffs, and it's only January!
BTW- Wings won 4-0 against LA.
8-0-2 in their last 10...
Detroit could finally overtake San Jose for the No. 1 spot in the West with a win...
Just left the Windsor area this past fall, so most likely no more Joe Louis games for me
But I can spread the Wings image up here in Leaf land, so they know what a superior hockey franchise looks like
2003 ~ Toronto
2005 ~ London, Toronto
2006 ~ Toronto
2008 ~ Hartford, Mansfied I,
2009 ~ Toronto, Chicago I, Chicago II
2010 ~ Cleveland, Buffalo
2011 ~ Toronto I, Toronto II, Ottawa, Hamilton
2013 - London, Pittsburgh, Buffalo
I agree we don't need it. But I like the west coast rivalries we have building (Anaheim and San Jose) and I'd love to dominated San Jose again to prove the best team in the league is still in Detroit.
Great game though. If this is a preview of the Western Conference Finals, it's going to be a great playoff year!
The Wings are back atop the NHL standings. It took them long enough!
That is all. You may now go back to your regularly scheduled thread.

I like the deadline moves Calgary made. Shows they are gearing up for a serious playoff run. The Flames have sent the Wings home early in past, so anything could happen.
But right now, I think the only team in the league that could beat Detroit in a 7-game series is San Jose. We'll see though! I love this time of year! March Madness, baseball season starts, NBA wraps up and then hockey playoffs!
I made my first trip to The Joe last year. In regards to Detroit, I always thought the movie Robocop was filmed on a fake set . . . turns out they probably saved some money by shooting it in motown. It's kind of creepy how GM's headquarters reminds me of OCP as well.
It's going to be a helluva playoff year. Calgary made some great moves, San Jose is very good, my other fave team the Bruins (even though they're slumping a bit) are up there and with New Jersey getting Brodeur back! Damn good fun for hockey lovers
Hoping the Wings and Bruins play in the finals
Roberto Clemente.
I'm going to the game too!
I think me an my date are going to go to the Detroit Brewing Company for dinner before the game.
I'm pumped for a good one. Columbus has owned us this season.
