It took a while, 10 years actually, but the Red Wings did it.
They actually won a regular-season game Sunday in Tampa, ending a 17-game losing streak dating back to Feb. 17, 2011, defeating the Lightning, 5-1.
That might be the most shocking aspect of all.
Not the victory itself, but how dominant the Wings (13-22-5) were in winning this one.
Goaltender Thomas Greiss was superb, making 27 saves and a good portion of them with the game still tight in the first 30 minutes.
The Wings broke it open with three goals on four shots in 2 minutes, 53 seconds late in the second period.
