from E.J. Hradek of ESPN,
When the Wings beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 4-0 to the dismay of a packed house at Nationwide Arena on Sunday, they cracked the 100-point mark for an NHL record ninth consecutive season.
Think about that.
It’s an impressive feat under any circumstances. I think it’s even more impressive when you consider the Wings have done it as they’ve transitioned from a Steve Yzerman-Brendan Shanahan-Brett Hull team to a Pavel Datsyuk-Henrik Zetterberg-Johan Franzen squad. And they’ve done it as the league has changed from a clutching-and-grabbing circuit that operated without a salary cap to today’s post-lockout NHL.
To me, that makes the feat absolutely mind-boggling. It really is a special accomplishment for the Ilitch family, GM Ken Holland and the entire group in Hockeytown.
