It has been more than a year, and it still seems strange considering the Wings are in the middle of the Western Conference standings and have yet to actually clinch a playoff spot.
But those are just details. Detroit is healthy, hanging on to the puck and winning -- a lot these days -- with a very good mix of offense and defense. In other words the Red Wings, with all their talent and experience, are playing the kind of hockey they are capable of and at just the right time.
