After the surprising win the other night in DC I would venture to say that confidence is high right now in the dressing room, on the bench, everywhere. The Wings pulled off an upset win over the Caps, and showed a lot of character coming back after being down two-zip.

They dug deep, and, played some hard nosed smart hockey. Larkin scored the OT winner, and is showing with every shift why he wears the "C" The improvement over last year is palpable. The youngsters are playing like they belong, but most importantly, the Wings are winning games, which will build anyone 's confidence.

Now, they need to keep er' going. We don't expect miracles. We do expect the same effort we've been witnessing so far this season.

Here's to some more exciting Red Wings Hockey!
