This game doesn't mean anything. We've got nothing, and we have to remember that. The Wings' silence seems more effective than the endless complaints from the Colorado players and coaches and their weak attempt to intimidate the Wings late in the game. Play dissolved in the third period, the Avalanche racked up 100 minutes in penalties and their coach Marc Crawford made an embarrassing attempt to get at Wings players and coaches after several minutes of screaming. Things got out of hand. . . .
Nobody is proud of it.
The Avs moan. The Wings score. The Avs whine. The Wings win. Detroit has six straight home victories and is on a 9-1 streak.
