GDT - Game 7: Red Wings (3-2-1) host Blues (6-1) 7:30

02/01/2013 at 7:09am EST

After getting taken to the whipping post by the Blues on opening night, 6-0, DET will be looking for a much better effort. The Wings aren't alone though, STL are crushing it right now, and it is easy to see why: 3.86 G/G (3), 2.00 GA/G (3), 2.33 5-5 F/A (2), 34.6%PP (2), and 20.3 SA/G (1).

Babcock said of the opening game: "We weren't very competitive," Babcock said. "Now we have an opportunity to evaluate ourselves six games later and see where we're at.." The times, they are a changing; it used to be that the Wings were the measuring stick.

Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
