It was cool to see Slava Kozlov back in Detroit finally. We've waited all season for this game.

My wife was pleased that both the Thrashers won (5-1 in an odd Wings loss) and that Kozzy scored a goal against Dominick Hasek whom he was traded to Buffalo for in 2001. Attaboy!

It was quite an upset for the Wings, #1 in the NHL, to lose so badly to the Thrashers who rank 21 overall. Or rather, they did until this evening. I'm not sure where this game puts them.

Even worse though is that the Wings have now lost three games in a row. Each game they were trailing by 2 points at some point. It's their biggest losing streak of the season and all of the superstar players are dressed and on the ice. Odd that.

In the end it doesn't matter. Detroit will surely make the playoffs so it was great to see Slava skating at Joe Louis Arena again tonight and leave with what is certain to be a smile on his face.

We miss the old #13, even though the new #13 is definite keeper himself.

Game on!
