Don't Look Now...
But the Red Wings are on a bit of a winning streak. If you can call it a winning streak when 2/3ds of those games were won in OT (thank you, Bertuzzi) and when another two players are down with injuries. I haven't checked the Wings blogs yet today because I cringe to see what the reports on Helm and Ericsson are. It's so sad to be hoping for 'just a short-term' injury.
Seriously. Right now it's Franzen, Kronwall, Filppula, Williams, Cleary, Helm, and Ericsson. Five top forwards. One top four defensemen and one young d-man who drives me crazy but is developing nicely. It's just - wow. If you hadn't been following hockey (and I realise like maaaybe 3 of you are), the goals for the WIngs last night came from completely unfamiliar names - Newbury, Eaves, Meech. Yeah. Eaves looked good centering the second line though, and Newbury definitely was out to make an impact in his first game with the Wings.
I watched the game in a sports bar. With my laptop because my internets went down unexplainably, and I didn't feel like dealing with tech support. The server though I was insane, but whatever. It was awesome.
