Detroit Red Wings Tie NHL Record For Consecutive Home Wins

Feb 13, 2012 - The Detroit Red Wings haven't lost a game at Joe Louis Arena since Nov. 3, and overall, they're 33-13 over that stretch. They're the best team in an NHL full of very good teams as a result of that streak, which tied an NHL record on Sunday night when the Wings held on for a victory over the Philadelphia Flyers.

While detractors are busy talking about the shootout, and how this only would have been a still-impressive yet hardly history-worthy 12-game streak had the Wings tied a game against Phoenix on Jan. 12, and how the 1929-30 Boston Bruins and the 1975-76 Flyers didn't have that shootout luxury when putting together their streaks, the fact of the matter is this:

Detroit won 20 games in a row at home.

Using the rules of the day, they did something that nobody has ever done under those rules, and that no team has done under any rule system since 1976. That's worth celebrating. Wings fans are doing that over at Winging It In Motown.
