Comments on: “It’s the best team we’ve played all year.” http://iwocpo.wordpress.com/2006/01/13/its-the-best-team-weve-played-all-year/ A Wing fan in Tennessee Thu, 05 Feb 2009 01:13:27 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Wings 6, Flyers 3 at On the Wings http://iwocpo.wordpress.com/2006/01/13/its-the-best-team-weve-played-all-year/#comment-2563 Wings 6, Flyers 3 at On the Wings Mon, 05 Feb 2007 16:22:06 +0000 http://iwocpo.wordpress.com/2006/01/13/its-the-best-team-weve-played-all-year/#comment-2563 [...] The story of the game was the Shanahan-Datsyuk-Zetterberg line, which accounted for four Red Wings goals and 12 points (four each). These three were especially potent in the third period, when they lit the lamp three times in 10 minutes. They were magic together and you could sense the change in the atmosphere of JLA when they were on the ice. I was really hoping for a hat trick from either Pavel or Hank but didn’t get it. Don’t expect that line to be around long, though, because it’s hard for the Wings to spread the wealth offensively with such a high concentration of talent on one line, as A2Y points out.

I'm sure NHL.com was following the direction of Daddy Gary in publicizing the "messiah's" big night. They probably feel the fence-sitters need reminding how exciting it was when Mess guaranteed victory. I’ve held off on my opinion of Messier and where he stands in the “best captain” list of things.

But the points leaders in each conference square-off last night and that isn't worthy of receiving a Top Story linky? I can understand Messier receiveing top billing on NHL.com’s homepage.

(That boxscore at NHL.com is so wrong). The Wings were so good last night, Maltby got a goal and wasn’t even on the ice.
