Sports Wings set NHL record with 21 straight wins at home
2012.02.15 02:05
 DETROIT (AP)—Red-and-white clad fans haven’t seen the Detroit Red Wings lose at home in more than three months. The NHL has never seen such success at home in one season. The Red Wings beat the Dallas Stars 3-1 on Tuesday night for their 21st straight win in Detroit—breaking the single-season mark of 20 set by Boston in the 1929-30 season and matched by Philadelphia in 1976. During the final minute of the latest home win, the crowd showered the Red Wings with a standing ovation—and chanted, “21! 21!”“In the end when they were really cheering, before and after the buzzer went, it was a pretty cool feeling,” forward Henrik Zetterberg said. Zetterberg and Brad Stuart scored midway through the first period and Detroit went on to surpass the long-standing record. After time expired, the Red Wings went to goaltender Joey MacDonald and then skated toward center ice to thank their passionate patrons by raising their sticks. Detroit extended the streak with three wins in shootouts, which became a part of the league in 2005 after the lockout and has led some to downplay the significance of this record. In the past, the Red Wings would’ve had to settle for ties and an unbeaten streak instead of a winning run. “There’s really no way to combat that argument,” Stuart said. “But still, it’s an incredible accomplishment regardless of what you’re going to compare it to.” Since the shootout eliminated ties, the longest previous home winning streak was 14 by Boston during the 2008-09 season. Detroit’s run began after a loss to Calgary on Nov. 3. The NBA’s longest home winning streak in a season is 37, set by Chicago during the 1995-96 season. The 1978 Pittsburgh Pirates and 1988 Boston Red Sox both won 24 straight at home for baseball’s longest single-season, home-winning streaks since 1919. The Miami Dolphins won 27 straight at home from 1971-74 for the NFL mark. By LARRY LAGE, AP Sports Writer(edited)  |

Regular season of ice hockey usually is warm up time for the upper echelon teams
and the real season start usually April, playoff time.Big boys stand up during this time and whoever has endured long enough to survive
in june, then they have a chance to hoist Stanley Cup.Detroit Redwings has been power house of Ice Hockey for quite a long time and
they had 4 stanley Cups in 11 years span between 1997-2008 and also they have
hold 20 consecutive seasons of playoff appearances as well. KJ -

The streaks meant to be ended soon or later.Detroit Redwings' home winning streaks were stopped
after 23 games by Vancouver Canucks tonight.Canucks beat Redwings 4-3 at shoot out. Wings gave up
tying goal only 16 seconds left for the game.It was sweet revenge for them against Redwings,who
beat them in same way during last Wings' western swing.These two power houses are 1-2 in standing in NHL as of tonight.
As one of Wings' fans, I thank to Detroit Redwings for letting me
having witnessed this amazing record during my life time and
I have truly enjoyed this happy ride during last 3 months. KJGO! WINGS!

Our Amazing Red Wings,
Go Red Wings for your loyal fan, Dr. Hwang !!
As a diehard Redwings' fan,it was extremely satisfying and exciting
night to witness the historical record breaking home win streaks to
21 games!
It is more impressed to me that Detroit Redwings have overcome
the following adversities during last 3months.
1. Since NHL nowadays has so much parities,it is tough to beat same
teams 2-3 times in a row.
2. Two third of wins during these times were against those teams
having winning records.
3. You need certain luck to win shoot out. They have won 3 of 3.
4. They have done without their starting goltender for past 4 games. KJ
GO! REDWINGS!
