The suspense is killing me…but it is sure fun

WOW!!! Two OT wins in as many games!!!!

The Red Wings have sure bonuced back from a lack luster performance agains the Blues with two exciting wins over the Ducks and Predators.

Those wins were big on so many levels. First. and most obvious, it gives the WIngs four big points. Secondly, not only were they both against Western Conference teams they are battling in the playoff chase, but getting the win over Nashville, a huge division rival, makes a statment that the Wings are still the team to beat in the Central.

I know we as Red Wing fans are not used to seeing our team not fighting for the top spot in the conference, even this early in the season, but I think that if they can contune to hang around sixth, seventh or eighth, then when the injured players come back, the Wings will rise to the top of the NHL like they do every year.

My one concern is of course, who is out right now. One of the last players i wanted to see setting out of the line up is in fact doing that right now. Dan Cleary has been on of the spark plugs for Detroit over the first month and a half of the season and losing his energy is certainly a blow for this team.

One guy who has stepped up in the last couple of games for the Wings has been a guy I have been big on all season. Todd Bertuzzi had a big week with two goals in both OT wins.

I have been waiting for him to get going and I am hoping that this current hot streak continues against Phoenix. Not only the game winners, but did you see that spin-o-rama he scored on? WHAT A GOAL!!!!!

It was funny watching the highlights on the NHL.com because the Nashville TV announcers called him Zetterberg when he broke away on the take way for the game winner Friday night.

Another player that impressed me again Friday night was Pav. He made some terrific passes, and got the assist on Miller’s goal that Drew knocked out of mid air. Great game for the Wings.

I’d like to hear anyone’shts on the Wing’s season. Please feel free to comment on this or any other post.
