The Detroit Red Wings, at the moment, is sitting on a 6 wins, 5 losses, and 1 OTL record. They easily won their last game against Anaheim with a score of 5-0. This was so good news for the fans that bought Ring Wings tickets that night. They are currently occupying the 3rd spot in the Central Division behind Chicago and Nashville, and above St. Louis and Columbus. Prior to the Anaheim win, the last six games were not so kind to them. They lost all 6 games, which potentially hurt the Red Wings reputation. People who purchased Red Wings tickets expected more from their team. Their upcoming game against Colorado is expected to be a tough one, even though they have already defeated the Avalanche once this season. So far, the Red Wings have played a total of 12 games and this is how they fared in these games:
10/07/2011: Ottawa – 5-3 (won)
10/08/2011: Colorado – 3-0 (won)
10/13/2011: Vancouver – 2-0 (won)
10/15/2011: Minnesota – 3-2 (won)
10/21/2011: Columbus – 5-2 (won)
10/22/2011: Washington – 1-7 (lost)
10/25/2011: Columbus – 1-4 (lost)
10/28/2011: San Jose – 2-4 (lost)
10/29/2011: Minnesota – 0-1 (lost)
11/01/2011: Minnesota – 1-2 (OTL)
11/03/2011: Calgary – 1-4 (lost)
11/05/2011: Anaheim – 5-0 (won)
After starting the season like the elite team they were supposed to be, they suddenly lost their strides and started to go down with six straight losses. The whole thing started when they went up against the Washington Capitals for the battle between unbeaten teams from the Eastern and Western conference. They lost badly that game and things began to look different from then on. Twelve games into the season, the Detroit Red Wings has displayed a dual personality. One is that of an elite team capable of stringing together wins in succession, and the other is of a team that is occupying the bottom of the standings that has no problems losing games in succession. If they continue with their losing ways, I am sure fans will stop buying Redwings tickets to support the team. Three of those six losses suffered by the Red Wings came from the hands of opponents they have beaten earlier – Columbus (once) and Minnesota (twice). If this is any indication, then their game against the Avalanche on Tuesday might be going in their opponent’s favor. They will need your help to prevent this from happening. Purchases your Red Wings tickets now and cheer them to victory.
The 5-0 shutout over the Anaheim Ducks showed the Red Wings might have already overcame their slump. The team attributed the losses to their inability of putting the puck into the net. The game against Anaheim was different. The Red Wings attacked the goal incessantly the whole game, and that was the reason why they scored that many goals. The coaching staff said that they are not going to make any changes. They are going to go with what they have and stick with it. The players believe in the system and, eventually, the goals will be coming in like what happened in their last game against Anaheim.
The Red Wings upcoming game against Colorado is significant in some ways because you have a team that is out for payback, and the other team is on the verge of bouncing back from its slump. Like what the coaching staff said earlier, they do not have to do anything different. Just like how fans should do nothing differently and continue to buy Red Wings tickets. If there is anything they have to do to get better, then perhaps a change in the players attitudes towards each game is the one they have to focus on. They have to attack the net relentlessly the entire game until the goals start going in. After all, that is what the Detroit Red Wings are known for. They were second in the NHL last season in goals made.
