Yikes
From the article.

Beyond all of that, the Red Wings will run a gauntlet in the second half of the season. Entering play Thursday, Detroit has the hardest remaining strength of schedule in the league, according to Tankathon. Their remaining strength of schedule (.587) is .20 points higher than the second-highest team, the Seattle Kraken (.567).

If the season were to end today, the Red Wings would be the eighth seed in the playoffs in the eastern conference is that right?

 

[biggunsbob]

Yes that is right.

 

[biggunsbob]

My father in law is over so I won’t be able do post much I hope the wings get off to a good start like the Pistons.

 

[biggunsbob]

Red wings lead 1-0 mid first.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wings took a 2-0 lead but the
Red wings Penalty kill give one back 2-1 sadly.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wings have been all over The Wild last 10 minutes of the 2nd period.
Goalie for the wild is standing on his head.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wings will start the third with a power player for 1:40:ish. Game is getting chippy.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wings score and Minnesota is challenging. He doesn’t even touch him at all. Good goal

Wings up 3-1.

 

[biggunsbob]

Minnesota pp on a damn goalie flop. Ridiculous.

 

[biggunsbob]

8:09 left. Wings PP..
of course we get caught in on a breakaway and penalties were called
on both teams. Now it’s 4 on 4.

We go from a power play to giving up a damn goal.
Embarrassing 3-2 now. With 6:53 left.
Still 4 on 4 idk.
Min pp for 1:10
Killed.

 

[biggunsbob]

Empty damn net and we never clear the damn puck.
Sigh . 3-3. Terrible

 

[biggunsbob]

Damn it ot. Up 3-1 with a damn pp we end up giving up 2 goals after that because of a bad bounce or pass that had our defense up to far. Hockey is maddening.

 

[gotime909]

Awful tying goal.

 

[biggunsbob]

Wings get a gift ot PP and cant make a damn play give a a damn breakaway on the and lose. Kane had the damn goalie too.
Such a frustrating loss.
****ing blow a 3-1 lead with 6-8 minutes to go and on a damn freaking power play.

 

[biggunsbob]

Awful winning goal .
Awful goal #2 for Minnesota.

 

[biggunsbob]

Won’t make the playoffs blowing leads.
