For those of you who don't know, the Detroit Red Wings are playing the Dallas Stars at the Joe for their 21st home win in a row at 7:30 EST.
An interesting discussion topic is whether or not they deserve this title based on the fact that the previous team to hold this record did so before overtime and shootouts existed in the regular season.

I just hope they can go on to
I just hope they can go on to win the Cup like the Flyers and Bruins ended up doing, I think most people would agree that championships are much more important.

I believe Montreal won the
I believe Montreal won the Cup the year the Flyers had their streak. It was mentioned during the last game that the Flyers had won the Cup the year before, but not that year.

I got the wrong year, thanks
I got the wrong year, thanks for the correction. Flyers were runners up that year, which I would still consider semi-acceptable.

IMO they deserve it
Nowadays there is so much parity in the NHL that getting even an overtime win is no small feat. Regardless of the record, I always want to see the Wings win though. So Go Wings!

Maybe not as impressive as doing it without OT or shootouts, but you can only play under the current rules. I'll be happy for the Wings to get the record.

St Louis and Columbus are tied 1-1 after 2. It would be nice to actually seperate ourselves with this win streak but the Blues are doing a great job keeping up the pressure. Hopefully Columbus finds a way to pull it out.

10 minutes left. Close it out guys. Even though I don't like them, you have to feel for Rick Nash. He's the Steve Nash of the NHL. Same name, same "only good guy on their team" situation.

Y'know, I like the Blues, mainly for their logo. But I really hope we meet them in the playoffs just so we can continue the fine tradition of eliminating them from the playoffs.

Jackets win
Weird ending. Blues scored with 1.5 seconds in the middle of a scrum but it was ruled(correctly) that their player pushed the puck into the net with his hand. If our score holds up we'll be up 5 pts with the Blues having two games in hand.

If people want to put an asterisk next to this then shouldn't one be put next to every record that is being broken since all sports are evolving? No game is played the same as it was even 10 years ago.
