Fringe of the playoff race, maybe? Tough 5-game Western road trip coming up though.

Horrible giveaway by Perron to Petersson almost allowed the Canucks to get back in the game, but Husso came up big. Wings win 5-2.

I like when the Wings have a 5-2 lead and it is still morning my time.

And seconds later Hronek makes it 4-1. Nice turn of events.

Looked like Hughes had Husso beat but the puck slid off his stick. So still 3-1.

Canucks penalty shot coming up.

The Wings were getting dominated the first half of the 2nd period but Larkin restored the 2-goal advantage. 3-1 after 2.

9:17am Vancouver time and the Wings are already up 2-0

Zadina finally contributes. Game winning goal as Wings survive a last-minute scramble to win 2-1

Wings fall 5-2 to Edmonton and have to wonder if the Wings will be part of the Bedard lottery after all.

Back at it...finally.

Has it really only been 10 days since the Red Wings last played? It feels like a month.

I think this year's protected 1st plus Zadina would have got it done. Raty was once a projected top 5 pick, then slid to mid 2nd round. Jury is out on him.

My uncles saw Hull and the Hawks win the Stanley Cup on Olympia ice in 1961.

Yep, an all-time great player, a lousy person by any standard.

Wings got blanked 2-0 last night. I believe the Islanders had lost 7 straight before that. Season over.

I think it's way too early to assume Kasper is part of our core. #8 overall picks are already getting into iffy territory. We drafted Zadina at #6 and Rasmussen at #9, what if Kasper is little better than them? What are the chances Kasper will ever be good as Horvat - 25%, 33%? Fun fact: Horvat has scored 31 goals already this year. Zadina has 25 career goals and Rasmussen career goals. Why do we think the Canucks would see much value in them. Let alone Veleno, McIsaac, etc.

I think it was also Rasmussen who had the shot blocked leading to the weird 2 on 0 right before the Wings winner. Dach and the other came in on Husso practically in single file with Dach looking behind him for the other guy

Fabbri scores in OT. Are we sure it wasn't offside?

Ex-Hab Chiarot clangs it off the post in OT. Still tied.

Wow, what an end to regulation. The Wings, on a penalty kill, risk a rush up the ice with 15 seconds to go. Habs rush back and Husso big save on a one-timer keeps the game tied.

Wings have been pushing for the win the past few minutes; 1 point would be unacceptable tonight. 3-3 with 5:07 to go.

Shouldn't need OT to beat San Jose at home, but I really can't complain about a win. I really like Horvat and would pay a pretty high price for him. Including Kaspar. Or this year's first. Certainly Cossa. Good point about the skewed G-A ratio, which would suggest he plays more like a winger but I don't think the case.
