The season is here and Wings open tonight against Anaheim, the team which knocked them out of the playoffs. We all have high hopes for the year, and I look at the team as one of the cup contenders. The last season proved that they can win it all. Go Wings!

Red Wings beat Anaheim in the shootout in the first game of the season. Old story as Wings outshot Ducks 42-15 but settled for 2-2 regulation tie. Hudler scored the only shootout goal. Zetterberg with a goal and an assist in the game. Holmstrom also scored. Rafalski with an assist in a first game as a Wing. Bertuzzi with a goal and an assist for Ducks.

The sellout streak is over at 396 regular season games. Some notes from Drew Sharp:

Sellouts streaks that long are a hoax anyways. The team usually buys up the additional tickets to make them sellouts if they come close. The streak is the most important thing, even if it costs money to maintain.

Not Good...Black Hawks get rare win against Wings.
Hawks have Robert Lang with Nik Kabibulon* in net.

Wings got a point, but I still hate them letting the Hawks back in the game when they were leading by 2 goals after 2 periods. Rafalski with goal and an assist and Zetts with 3 assists in the game.

Wings hang on to win a close game against the Oilers to go 2-0-1. A couple of mental lapses by Red Wings defense kept Edmonton in the game until Draper scored an empty-netter with 32 seconds left to seal the victory 4-2. Zetterberg had a couple of points and now has 7 points after 3 games (1+6).

Chelios played in his 1550 game and now is #8 on the NHL's all-time games played list. Lidstrom with an assist passed Forsberg and now is #2 on NHL's all-time points by a Swedish player.
