Ya I hate blaming the refs but they've been letting a TON go but giving the Wings some real ticky tack calls too...

2-1 Wings on a nice Perron PP goal!

Bertuzzi on a breakaway made it 1-0! Hellberg just made a really nice save on the penalty kill too....make it two great saves on back door passes.

Raymond back in tonight, Oesterle went to IR

I'm hoping the Ras injury isn't too bad but it doesn't seem good at all. He was really clicking with Copp and Perron and having a career year, sad.

It feels weird to be in the playoff hunt this late in the season, but I like it.

Rangers must be really frustrated, fighting after clean hits. That "charge" call on Rasmussen earlier was the 6th called all season...

How do the Rangers get a power play after that haha

Rasmussen with a big hit on Panarin and Fox jumps him, love big Ras' play lately

Suter - Zadina have become a nice forechecking duo

Copp with a 3 point night now, Hronek scored on the PP. Despite being outshot a bunch the Wings have this in hand right now, going to the power play again too

Thankfully the Wings have Husso, hopefully they get it together for the third

Rasmussen - Copp - Perron has been great all night, Rasmussen buries one!

It'll be interesting to see how their RFA deals work out this next offseason, they might have some small issues navigating the cap.

Lindgren crosschecks Rasmussen in the head as he goes by, no major here though.... Lindgren seems to be asking Rasmussen to fight him and my lip reading of Ras leads me to think that he's ready to at any f'in time!

Zadina with a nice release! He had a good forecheck, then changed his release point a bit to snipe it home, love to see it.

The Rasmussen - Copp - Perron line puts in another great shift only for a bad Walman giveaway leading to a tie game, bleh

What an insane breakout by the Wings to set up the Copp goal to go up 1-0, some pretty passing all around. Walman outlet to Rasmussen, Ras to Perron, back to Ras, then over to Copp for the yawning goal.

I want to give Perron props on this goal. He drove his defender into the boards and gave him a little extra when the defender was down. Perron went to the net, and all the defender could focus on was trying to get Perron back….too bad the Caps defender interfered with his goalie because he was so focused on Perron and not where he was. I feel like Perron has been pretty….not good lately, but this really shows the little veteran moves he has. I feel like this roster can click and make some noise in the playoffs, but everything has to break right for that to happen.

Well Larkin got kicked out for a major cross check. It was an awful play but him but I'm a bit shocked he got kicked out.

I think both players still have places in the NHL, just not in the top six as you'd hope when you drafted them. They probably want Veleno for 3C/4C so Rasmussen can stay at center for now. Kubalik would be the option to sit in my opinion, I would add Sundqvist too but I think Lalonde likes him a lot. Either way I can't really argue with Zadina being the odd guy out though I think he has been playing fine since he's been back. I wouldn't have minded seeing Zadina and Vrana on a line together to be honest.

Dang Zadina is out for Vrana, was hoping it would be someone else but I guess I can't argue with it
