With NHL play resuming on February 28, the Detroit Red Wings find themselves with the best record in the NHL -- 39-13-5, good for 83 points. Brendan Shanahan leads Detroit in goals with 26, while Pavel Datsyuk 45 assists and 66 points are tops on the team. On top of that, red hot G Manny Legace is fresh off Defensive Player of the Week honors (he went 3-0 with a 1.67 GAA and .935 save percentage in the final week before play was halted for the Olympics).

Think the Wings can maintain their high performance level for the rest of the 2005-06 season?

I think so. A key reason is the big off season acquisition of Mike Bab****. He seems to know how to get these guys to play regardless of their age.
