And the final result was a statement game. Jarome Iginla wouldn’t call it that, but I will. The Red Wings offense threw everything it could at the Flames (45 shots in all) and the Flames left Joe Louis Arena with two points.
“It’s a big one,” Iginla told SportingNews.com. “We’re just trying to get ourselves going and get back momentum. A game like this, we knew before coming into it, when you’re in a little bit of a drought to be able to play the best - if you can come out with a win, it’s a huge boost.”
And don’t forget the playoff implications of a win like this.
“There’s a good chance you’re going to have to go through Detroit,” Iginla said. “This is a big game for us.”

I’m not sure what “statement game” means, but I know this one didn’t involve a Stanley Cup which last time I checked is really the only thing you make a statement for.
Big deal, they won a regular season game vs the WIngs. We all know what the Wings players are thinking about right now and that’s one thing and one thing only, the playoffs.
