It turns out they have loftier goals. At the All-Star break, they're competing for the top spot in the Eastern Conference.

The Detroit Red Wings have a lot of obstacles that they need to overcome if they are to survive the Eastern conference. First, they had the highest number of injuries last season for any team in the NHL. Goalie Jonas Gustavsson (knee), Centers Pavel Fatsyuk (shoulder) and Andy Miele were all out on injury.

Good to see the wings back in it.  Good to see a rematch with the pens.  Here's hoping Marian Hossa made the right call.  Cannot wait til this series starts tonight!  It's gonna be an epic battle, every game, every minute of every period.  Your about to see the most competitive series of the last 10 years.

   Let's throw Ozzie a bone.  I could feel it during games, working around all those people.  They were anxious anytime the puck came into the Wings zone, on edge whenever it edged in toward the slot, and sheer panic anytime it made a forward movement toward Ozzie.

   The Red Wings are on a nice streak here. Five wins in nine days. The first period of last nights game looked great, puck control, defense and two goals. Also by the way shots in that period were 27 to 8. The wnigs still won the game but they lost the dominance that that period had. Both Zetterburg and Datsyuk had two goals and an assist. Hossa nets his thirty first goal of the year and rafalski gets three assists. Conklin in net again for the Wings and he had a decent game. They had some good looks on power plays and got three goals it was a very good game.

The wings pulled out an impressive shutout yesterday 3-0 verse both Hossa and Conklins former team the Pittsburg Penguins. Conklin did a great job standing up his former teammates, not to give him all the credit our defense was in good form also. Congratualations go out to Marian Hossa on not only keeping his head but also reaching the thirty goal mark. Datsyuk scored the first two goals and its good see him on his game. Really the whole team has had a good week. Four wins this week for the Red Wings bravo guys. Lets keep this winning going. On a side note after the game there was an interview of Zetterburg I assume some of you watched it. One of the interviewers questions was about sidney crosby. I just want to say why in a three nothing win are we talking about him instead of the Wings. I know we are in Pittsburg and they are getting a lot of press but really in a game like that talk about the Red Wings they deserve it.

So in being a huge Wings fan I was recently very dissapointed to see us not represented in the All-Star game. I can understand being injured or even wanting to get a rest but seriously at some point y

So just what does the regular season mean to the defending Stanley Cup champions? What about the horrendous loss to the Penguins last week?

Really and truly, individual regular season games don't mean a heck-uv-a-lot.
