James: Glendening's work ethic drives Red Wings They've turned over almost their entire roster without turning over expectations. They've rebuilt on the fly without missing the playoffs. The Red Wings have done the unthinkable and the nearly impossible. They've also earned zero margin of error for the fact that they are still very much a work in progress. The Red Wings have earned (and received) a ton of respect for what they've accomplished. This is the weird dynamic of making the playoffs 24 consecutive seasons. Advancing past Montreal in the next round (assuming the Habs beat Ottawa) would be even more of a shocker. Some fans might parrot those thoughts, but that's silly. The team will tell you that only a Stanley Cup will do.

This series will go a long way towards determining whether or not this was a successful season for the Red Wings. As long as the Wings could steal one in Tampa, they knew they could return to Detroit for Game 3 on Tuesday with some serious momentum on their side. Winning on Thursday certainly makes things more interesting regardless of what happens in Game 2. The Red Wings struck first, but the Lightning have the more talented roster. There's no way that Petr Mrazek can be expected to keep that play up for the rest of the series. If Tampa Bay can keep that up, they can still win this series quickly. Glass half empty? The Wings were badly outplayed everywhere on the ice other than in goal. And they've clearly brought a sense of doubt and dread to the Lightning. Glass half full? T he Red Wings stole a game in which their offense was outshot by 30.
