Wings are 5-7-3 for just 13 points in past 15 games.

Florida wins in OT. Jackets 2 back of Detroit but with a game in hand.

3-1 Wings are going to lose. Jackets have a point and are playing for a 2nd in OT vs Florida.

Wings trail 1-0 after 2, Columbus leads Florida 1-0 after 2. If those scores don’t change, the Wings will fall to 9th place in the East in points percentage, out of playoff position

Wings at Tampa scoreless after one. That's probably as good as we can expect from an undermanned Wings team. Penalties with 12 seconds to go in a period are usually needless though. Can the Wings stall for another 40 minutes?

Or failing that, I was at the gym this morning with one week to get into game shape in case Todd calls on me when I’m at Habs @ Wings next Thursday.

Now really questionable the Wings will be able to survive this.

What a difference an injury and 90 seconds makes. I remember with 5 minutes to go thinking that, yeah, the Copp injury is going to hurt but if they hang on tonight then suddenly their post-Olympics record will be 4-2-1 with 5 of those 7 game having been on the road, not bad at all. Then, we know what happened …

Who?

I can’t remember a year when the disparity between the East and West’s playoff cut line has been so wide. In the East, the 8th and 9th place teams have 78 and 76 points respectively. In the West, the 8th and 9th place teams have 67 points each.

I hate when after a couple days of excitement about a star lineman a failed physical changes everything.

I’ve never been so miserable during a Leafs 8-game losing streak.

Sabres, Habs, Bruins, Jackets all win. Penguins tie game in final minute and head to OT. NYI ties their game after trailing by 2. About as bad as it gets.
