It's a new Year, and as the Wings left 2014 on a positive note, they will start 2015 on the road. A very late start tonight against a pretty decent Vancouver Team is not the easiest way to begin, but, earlier starts against lesser Teams have been tough this season.

Maybe being on the road will help this group develop into a better, more cohesive winning unit. Being on the road means, more time spent together as a Team, no family distractions, no home ice pressure, male bonding, blah, blah, blah, blah.

That's the hope. Well that, and fixing the elusive consistency factor.

2015, here come the Detroit Red Wings!
