I'm allergic to toothfairy analyses. If that happens I'll eat my RW hat. If not I shall heckle the respondent.

Lol@Bert excellent GDT thxalot!

Early the 7th of april would be a great time for our guys to meet a local Boston dealer for some Meth.

Decent first period. Just as decent as we had against Pittsburgh. Then we failed miserably. Let's see how this one goes.

Philly looks crazy good in their game. Still no goal but they completely own the Jets for now.

Las Vegas has us a slight favorite to win tonights game, but it's not by much. Here are the odds: Red Wings win: 1.65 times your money. The Sabres win: 2.4 times your money.

Chris Chelios interview about the defense and our playoff chances, hot off the presses: http://www.freep.com/story/sports/nhl/red-wings/2016/03/28/detroit-red-wings-podcast/82347250/

Well, what do we say about tonight... I guess there isn't much to say. Just watch how the team performs and go from there. May the posts go our way though.

Agreed. Should be in, and before Housley. Those who don't know where they stand regarding Makarov look him up on youtube.

According to Helene St.James Granato stays the season out. Guess we'll see how it plays out. https://twitter.com/HeleneStJames

It doesn't. We don't know when he leaves. I did pick up ramblings that the coaching staff had heavy discussions and at the same time Granato is announced as Wisconsin head coach. But nothing is confirmed. Guess we're just gonna have to wait until more information reaches us.

Nicely written, I agree. Thing is, we are in a worse position that we were yesterday after the 2-7 loss since now we probably are missing coaches. As in they are not there during training, today. With less than 10 games left of this season. Another thing is, I reckon after the last loss there must have been lots of discussion that helped with Granato leaving. I have not a shred of evidence of this but it is logical to assume that it's the case. To sum it up, I would guess the the team is a wreck right now, the players psyche aswell as the abscence of coaches. Drop those 40% playoff chances down to about 5%.

Captain caresalot. He sounds like he just wants a burger and beer and for us to get the f*** outta here.

I agree, we do have a chance to make the playoffs. But the better question in my opinion is now, should we want to? I doubt that. Addon: This all started with the Toronto game at home. Babcock gave teams the blueprint to beat us. Extremely aggressive forecheck on our defense, which is one of the worst in the league, if not the worst. All losses since have followed this pattern. This can easily be seen by examining how Pittsburgh changed their tactics from period 1 to period 2 & 3.

*envisions Brad Marchand's laugh as he's told how Detroit Red Wings collapsed to total street bum misery*

Feel for you Tom. Look at the bright side, you won't have to drive that long in the postseason.

Swedish commentator about the game: "This team has caused wounds to the very soul of Detroit hockey."

Having studied statistics, I'll remark that one always has to allow for error variance, i.e. when s*** happens. So I'll counter your 0% with 0.5% likelihood.

There we go, that's the team we know. I'll switch to listening, have sticks to tape and skates to sharpen. Bah.

I approve of period 1. Our defense looks as shaky as ever but that's just the way it is.

Ericsson's fumble led to the goal! He must be a genius, we've just missed it.

Good luck to us ladies! Crosscheck Crosby and Hornqvist from the getgo to soften them up a little. I would.

Another game of the year. Let's go boys, this one is winnable. Make sure you crosscheck Hornqvist lots as he'll be parked in front of the net and is one of the best in the world at it. Let's get his knee's a little weak.

We are clearly where we are supposed to be counting with variance error. Most experts including the best stat guys in LGW had us hovering. Take it for what it is and hope for some fun playoff games where Dats could surprise. If we make it as the 8th seed we are a dead man walking anyway as we would face the Capitals.

Nice good job. Wish I could like it but can't since I have to type this on my cellphone. Still can't access LGW on my browser. Id love 1 point tonite. Yzermans team is more Yzerman than we are. I predict pain & misery.
