Videos- It Could Have Been A Great Story

03/06/2019 at 7:58am EST

from Ted Kulfan of the Detroit News,

The potential for a great story, one of the few of this miserable Red Wings’ season, was there.

Filip Zadina, the prized Red Wings’ rookie, scored his first NHL goal late Tuesday against Colorado, giving his team the lead.

But instead of that exciting ending, it turned into another heartbreaking one.

Colorado tied it 42 seconds after Zadina scored, then star Avalanche forward Nathan MacKinnon scored at 2 minutes, 29 seconds of overtime, giving the Avalanche a 4-3 victory.

Instead of a storybook ending, it was another gut punch for the Wings, a young team that’s forgotten how to win.

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.
