GDT - WCQF Game 1: Red Wings (0-0) at Ducks (0-0) 10:30

04/30/2013 at 7:27am EDT

22 straight seemed like a long-shot back in mid-March when DET headed out to the West coast for a four game swing, beginning with a ridiculous back-to-back at ANA (thanks Gary, ass). At the time, DET were 5-6-2 on the road, and ANA were13-1 at home. Those two wins at ANA (5-1, and 2-1) were big at the time - - they are huge now.

DET can do this. Jimmy is a freaking wall right now (4-0, 0.75, .969 in last 4 GP), and Mule is not useless. The 3 and 4 line are playing big, and they'll have to continue to do so.

Babcock, never one to tinker with success (forgot the sarcasm font), is rolling the same lines as used down the stretch:

“The guys who got us here are getting into Game 1,'' Babcock said Sunday.

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.
