Detroit — The tough practice Tuesday, making sure there’s a commitment to hard work and getting better every day they're on the ice, it all worked.
The Red Wings were a different team on the ice Friday from the one that looked so poor earlier in the week against Carolina.
They worked hard, they were passionate, there was a different vibe.
But, ultimately, talent wins. On most nights these days, the Wings just don't have as much as the other team.
The Winnipeg Jets are one of the best teams in the NHL and Friday patiently took the Wings' best punches before finally defeating them 2-1.
