Sorry for trolling, but that made me spit my beer.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Well that isn't what we needed. 2 goal lead for the Wings. 3-1 Detroit.

[Stars99Lobo37]

Stars have just plain given up. Worthless. So they start fighting them. Great job guys *sighs*. Fighting will get us those two points that we need right? Still time and we just start fighting...great.

[Stars99Lobo37]

4-1 Detroit

This one..is over. Worthless.

[TOPGUN]

Great game (from a Red Wings point of view)

If you look at the score sheet then you have to realize that Dallas was the better team in this game, unfortunately that didn’t result in a win. 2 Bad turnovers from Turco/Zubov and Detroit is up by 2.

Good luck guys, we will meet again!

[Stars99Lobo37]

Congrats on the win CuJo#31. You guys deserved to win tonight. Aside from the first 10 minutes, you guys controlled the play of the game and Dallas could never get over it. It seemed after they went down 1-0, their play totally changed. See you guys in January

Thanks m8.

To be honest I didn’t thought that the Wings would play such a strong game against a very good Stars, specially after the game against Chicago were we got outplayed for 59:20 minutes. I have to say that after Lang went down with a groin injury Babcock moved Zetterberg to centre (his natural position) and since then he is playing like a real two-way player! He can do it all.

We will see you guys again in January
