I'm just going on a 10-day old projection.
I would expect, right now, for Detroit it win.

I think with Larkin back, the Red Wings are over the ugliest of the slump.

People joked about me calling this team unsustainable all year. But they were.
They couldn't keep getting .920 goaltending and .850 opposition goaltending.

They're good enough to be in it against Washington and the Isles and Buffalo, etc.
And there are just enough bad teams in the east for the Wings to still sneak in.

The Flyers could be about ready for an epic collapse unless that 6'8 goalie is the real deal.

As for tonight, there are two things in the Wings' favor.
1) Final game of a road swing for Detroit. They're gonna be motivated.
2) Final game of a home stand for Tampa. Tampa might take its foot off the gas.

Feel like we’re all just trolling one another

0-0.
But man, until that powerplay, the Wings were outclassed.

Wings lucky at this point.
Two disallowed goals.
Penguins 2 Rangers 0 - After 2 Pens trying to stay relevant
Islander 3 Pittsburgh 2 - After 2, Pens pissing away their homestand. Benching couterier not seeming so great now.
