The Wings had not made the playoffs in five years, the longest playoff drought in the history of the franchise. But the Wings began the season 6-0, and second-year players Athan Iannucci and Geoff Snider were rewriting the record books. Iannucci broke Gary Gait's single-season scoring record in the Wings' 14th game, [cite web|url=http://nll.com/article.php?id=3425|title=Iannucci Breaks Single-Season Goals Record|work=NLL.com|date=April 12, 2008|accessdate=2008-05-05] and ended up with 71 goals. Snider set new records for loose balls (242), penalty minutes (103), and faceoffs won (318), and won 73.8% of his faceoffs, just short of his own record of 75% set in 2007.
