No Martin right now, right? And no Letang for the rest of the year most likely. They'll be in tough, even if the East isn't as good.

i think the dupuis injury completely derailed this team...wouldn't have had to worry about the top 6 at all if he's healthy...now they have a top line that isn't scoring like it should and a head case as their #2 center

crosby was a -5 last night if i'm not mistaken

I forgot Dupuis is out. Yeah that's another big loss.

i'll stop my pity party, i'm just sick of this team not living up to it's potential

and i guess if anyone knows about top tier guys being out of the lineup, it would be a wings fan :lol

Why? Just because their #1 center wasn't even on their team 2 days ago? And two of their other centers started the year in Grand Rapids? lol

Yeah, but you also said that unless Canada's top line Crosby/Kunitz/Neal that they wouldn't stand a chance in the tourney. We all know how that turned out.

yea, but that was because canada decided to play some lock down defense

the top line didn't really produce until the last game

neal would've made that line better IMO

What??!?!?! You also thought it was dumb that he was even on the team. At least get your story straight dude.

Edit; My bad as you were talking about Benn, and not Neal.

Buuuuut Benn was arguably one of their top 3 forwards all tourney so my comments stand....kind of.

meh, canada's blue line won the gold medal almost single-handedly

but either way, they won the gold so it's hard to argue any personnel decisions

but i'm going to anyway :lol

Well Tim and Schreibs, I did my best to compromise by letting it go to OT.

Wings really took it to us the first two periods. You could tell they knew the stakes and wanted it. Kudos to their hard work.

Remember how I've been talking about Duchene's strength this year? How about him fending off the Mule leading up to that goal, then drawing the penalty in OT?

MacKinnon: 13 game point streak after that amazing pass on the GWG.

Pathetic showing last night.

Am I doing the overly dramatic bit correctly?

Please lose to the Preds tomorrow night. Thanks.

Wings are more than happy to lose in round 1 to the Bruins or Pens, but they want to keep the streak alive, even if it's just for a week.
