No one ever said this season was going to be easy. Quite the contrary. Many folks out there are surprised at the current success (I guess it all depends on your point of view) regarding where the Wings are in the standings right now.

But, for 19 die hard fans, well, we are used to being pleasantly surprised, or extremely disappointed. I choose not to dwell on loss, but being realistic, I still see an uphill climb. Yesterday is long gone, so get over it and concentrate on tonight.

Facing the Cawks is always a good game, and by that I mean a good hard hitting, stick it to them in their own barn, Detroit "blue collar work ethic" bounce back type of game.

We have got to pull outta this rough patch, and tonight is the perfect time to get it going, because the rest of this road trip is an uphill climb.

So all aboard, cause the Hasek is heading West down I 94, first stop, Chicago.
