That Wing team was extremely good though, you are correct.

Oddly enough, while Detroit only lost 13 times that year, they actually lost to both Ottawa and San Jose.
Detroit finished with 131 points and lost to Colorado who had 104 points (27 point separation).
This year, Tampa finished with 128 points while Boston has 107 (21 point separation). The Flames could make that a 19 point separation if we win tonight.
