“Every night we play in the league, when you read the clips before, it’s a ‘measuring game.’ It’s a ‘measuring-stick game,’ ” said Detroit’s Mike Babcock. “This is our 23d measuring-stick game for the other team. Every night is for us. It’s going to be fun for us.”
“I think,” Babcock continued, “when I watch all the teams in the league right now, the two teams that seem to be the most excited and all playing together are Boston and San Jose. Those are the two teams for me.”
# On the other side, Claude Julien said tonight’s game will be a good test for the Bruins. “Right now, I think it’s a great way to show that we are a good team, but also with the type of talent that team has on the other side, a puck-possession team, it’s going to be a good test for us,” Julien said.

I hate these traditional, big time games, that seem to be used as a measuring stick for some team that hasn’t done anything in tons of years. The one thing I love about the Red Wings, is also one of my dislikes about them. They, for the most part, play the same game against Columbus as they do Toronto, same against Florida as San Jose. I think come playoff times that consistency is what drives them far, but it really grinds me that at times, when a team is elevating their game to play the Wings, they don’t step up with a little more emotion, they just play their game. And as we have witnessed more then once the past few seasons (and playoffs), they lose those games. I am not complaining. Not even close. Just my observation on these “ye olde measuring stick” games.
