Lotta Wings fans excited in here, we are so back

[@BillMontroy]

It's just the start of it all too which is the best fucking part right now ! Just think if a few more prospects turn out next season how this could all come together in the next few seasons . This team is being built the right way from too to bottom with the emphasis..at least from my way of seeing it for the longer term . We're never gonna see the kind of success we were so privileged to have for basically the majority of my life but no other team will either . My fellow wings fans we are approaching a very good time . And my glass is raised to you all! GO WINGS!

Cmon though. The Jets are heating up again. Monahan is looking like Toews 2.0. How can Detroit be better than that?

[@Exz84]

You're one of the few who I think has actually been really fair to Detroit. It makes no sense to me how many people have Tampa currently higher in their rankings and more likely to make the playoffs when Detroit has more points with games in hand and an arguably easier schedule remaining.

[@MeMe-sw1yu]

Agree with the red wing losing stigma. Other teams reddit pages go crazy with “how do we lose to the RED WINGS”. Like peeps, we are good this year. It’s coming together. We are not close to the save team we were last year.

[@erickloc7735]

As a wings fan, I feel like we aren’t getting the respect because we were in the playoff mix late in the season for the past two years and fell out both years. People think the same thing will happen this year, but this team is different. There’s more talent, better veteran leadership, and the young core is getting better and better. And with a guy like Kane to help those younger guys along, I have more confidence in this red wings team than any red wings team since the Datsyuk/Zetterberg years.

[@sawchucksaves1867]

The best thing to happen to the Wings after a forgetful Decemnber was the addition of Kane and (finally) regular play of Lyon in net since January 1. Those two have brought the entire team up another level

[@spencerdobkin9479]

The team played way below its talent in Dec. When Shannon said they're looking great in January and seeing how well Lyon has played I knew they were finally getting back to a contending team. Go wings!

[@davidteovogel3482]

Remember when the Jets were number one at Christmas, just two months ago? I miss the good old days.

[@Robert-Peterson]

The Jets had a stumble before and after the All-Star game, no doubt. But in their last 5 games or so they're back to playing "Jets hockey" and both their PP and PK have improved. At least they're not regressing to bad habits again, like they've done so many seasons after the All-Star break. There's nothing saying the Jets can't be number one again. The way things are going around the league, who knows who'll be in top spot at the end of the season.

[@McSomething15]

Detroit is the same distance between 3rd in the division and 9th in the conference. Before the season I had them between 90-95 points; they're currently on pace for around 97. Honestly, I think only injuries could derail a playoff push for them at this point. Edit: and the day's games actually put Detroit closer to Toronto than the 9th place team in the East.

i’m hoping the rangers continue the streak. back to back blue jackets could be trap games and the leafs and panthers to follow will be a very interesting week and a bit of hockey to watch as a fan

Avs went 2-1-1 this week, not horrible. But apparently they don't look good right now. Vancouver almost went winless for the week yet they remain a top team 😂 Shannon quote "it's not about who's the best team it's about who is playing the best right now" places Vancouver at #5

LOL. I literally told my wife “Where is Ottawa?” and there were were in 23rd.

4 of the top 7 are Atlantic teams! No wonder Buffalo and Ottawa can't breakthrough

I am not ok with the non-use of the puck board.. The sound of the pucks going in the board is satisfying.. #justiceforthepuckboard

I was hoping that the win again against the Canes would’ve saved us from moving at all but nothing can redeem that Ottawa game 😂. Stars are starting to look good and I loved seeing Stank in tonight, he played great and I’m hoping he stays; this upcoming stretch should see Dallas securing their division I think.

[@chiefkeef74]

Dallas is still a top 5 team especially with how close the boston and rangers games played out

[@Raist474]

I think Detroit just has a lot of haters, bith because they used to be dominant and are an original 6 team. They've improved a lot over the years and made some significant trades, they are a sleeping giant.

Regarding Minnesota, Picking up Declan from Winnipeg on waivers, has really solidified there defense,and with Kaprizov ek Boldy On fire,,yes on fire moving Boldy up to first line has produced 47 points in 8 Games, there on a mission Denny from Minnesota

47 points in 8 games is a ridiculous stat

It's even more impressive when all the teams muscle is injured, Billy G's vision of big muscle and grit is looking like it was holding the Wild back (and obviously the injuries that destroyed the first half) the wild have Bogo, Maroon and Foligno out and the Captain out for the year. If the Wild can just get Freddy and Johansson off the 2nd PP unit as well as get Johansson off the 2nd line the wild would improve.

The red wings are a playoff team and might do some damage in the playoffs. Will they win the cup? Likely not but they will not be a team you want to play in the first round.

[@facetiousmonkey5322]

Vancouver is rated wayyy too high. 1-4-0 in their last 5. He says it’s a weekly ranking so they should be lower. If they crack off back to back wins to close out February, then move them back.
