All-Star Break

With the All-Star break still in effect until Wednesday, the Wings are using this  time to recoup their injured players.  For about the past month hey have been without one of their top players Pavel Datsyuk. They haven't been as stellar as they were when he was in the line-up.  Having this as a weapon on your team is a key component. Not only is he a great offensive player he is an exceptional offensive defensive player.  He is one of the best in the leagues at back checking and stripping the puck off of players that don't even expect it.


The Wings are also planning on getting back some other key players such as: Brad Stuart, Todd Bertuzzi, Dan Cleary and recent addition this year Mike Modano. 


With February being a short hockey month for the Wings and now half of the season left, it would be nice if the Wings picked up the momentum with the players returning.  But as a legit Wings fan I can't be mad at where they are right now.  Making the playoffs is the main goal for right now.  Obviously, taking the top spot in the league is great, but extending the regular season is where we want to be.
