Wings still scoring with the best but the defense...
Since when does Drapes know how to score?

Wings sure got their defensive play fixed after that fiasco at Anaheim. The team only allowed 10 goals in the past 6 games while winning them all. Zetterberg is leading NHL in scoring and youngsters (Hudler, Filppula) and vets (Draper, Maltby) are all contributing on offense. Now there is a talk of possible Forsberg return to NHL and Wings definitely have some interest there.
Wings are also on the top in the NHL standings with 21 points after 13 games.

Wings RULE!

Zetterberg 12 goals after tonight, and 14 straight games (all season) with points (24 total).

Zetts is on pace for a 70 goal season and 140 points. AMAZING.

For the Hockey neophytes, a 50 goal season is a career achievement, and in today's NHL 120 points would be an amazing total.

It would be amazing if he could keep it up and stay healthy. He's struggled with the second part.

Helene St. James' blog: Franzen: 'It was like an explosion'

Just a quick update here from the Saddledome, where Thursday night the Red Wings just beat the Flames, 4-1. The Wings have now won seven in a row, Chris Osgood is off to a 7-0-0 start, and Henrik Zetterberg reached 12 goals after scoring twice against Calgary.
Johan Franzen left the game early in the second period after getting whacked in the head by Brett Lebda’s shot, but Franzen is OK. He looked nasty – he needed 15 stitches to close a gash between the eyes that was so deep it left a pool of blood on the ice, but he sounded good.

The guy's not getting any luck at all this year.

Henrik Zetterberg was named the NHL's first star for October. Zetterberg leads the NHL with 22 points and have a 20-game points streak that dates back to last season. With a point tonight at Calgary, Zetterberg would tie the Red Wings' longest season-opening point streak (14), set by Norm Ullman in 1960-61.

Here's the longest season-opening point streaks since 1993-94:

Games Player Club Season
22 Dany Heatley Ottawa 2005-06
15 Jaromir Jagr Pittsburgh 1999-00
13 Henrik Zetterberg Detroit 2007-08 (active)
13 Ron Francis Pittsburgh 1994-95

Henrik did tie the Red Wings record with 2 goals against Calgary.
Congrats! And keep it going.

Whether the competition is good, bad or in between, road trips to western Canada can be a rough ride for teams. Even many outstanding Detroit Red Wings clubs have struggled here in the past.
That's what makes this current group's accomplishment all the more impressive. With their 4-1 victory over the Calgary Flames on Thursday at the Saddledome, the Red Wings completed their first-ever three-game western Canada sweep. It was the 21st time they have played Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary during a single trip.

The Wings are hot. East has Ottawa who is 10-1 to start the year.

Osgood is 8-0 so far this year. Maybe he is a better option than Hasek for the rest of the season?

Um, I dunno. We've won the cup with both. Hasek seems to be more solid in the playoffs.
