[biggunsbob]

Preview

Wings are on a 2-8-1 strech and helm is now out 6 weeks. Vanek came back a game or so ago but if the wings do not turn this around soon the playoffs steak appears ro be over this year. Weird to see the wings in LAST place in the Atlantic divisons 6 points out of third place and 5 points out of a wildcard as the wings and Islanders two playoff teams last year bring reside in the bottom two spots in the eastern conference..

Damm that is alot of injuries plus Vanek just came back after missing 10 games. Nifty winner by him in the shootout.

Nice to see Detroit win for once, especially in a shootout which has been their achilles the past few years.
