3-3. You shouldn’t give up a 2 goal lead at home to a team finishing a back to back.

This is a wild stat I read today, if true: The GoldenKnights have not beaten a team currently in playoff position since November 20th. They have four total wins against teams currently in playoff position this year".

Good to hear Mickey back.

Ha, I came here to post both of those.

Knights- Wings game is on regular tv night. 6pm pregame. Unfortunately I get NBC, CBS and ABC from Detroit but my Fox is from Rochester.

Interesting that model gives CBJ and Ottawa a better playoff chance than Boston despite the Bruins being ahead of them by 3 and 6 pts respectively. Hope that means Boston has a tough schedule the rest of the way.

I’m going to the Carolina at Vancouver game tonight. As a sign of how much of a wreck the Canucks are, my ticket was C$51 all-in, or US$38. And that there were plenty in that price range. I can’t recall anytime since the late ‘90s you could get into the arena so cheaply. The Canucks suck but it’s still NHL hockey and I get to see Aho, Svechnikov, Jarvis, Ehlers. I’ll try to get down to the glass during warmups and ask Petersson what the hell is his problem.

Yep. 9 of the top 12 team in points overall are in the East. The Wings would have a 6 pt lead in the Pacific. The Wings are 9 points up on the West’s 8th place team and 12 points up on the West’s 9th place team. The Oilers would be 5 points out of a playoff spot in the East.

Points in the past 10 games, in order of current conference standings: Carolina - 16 Tampa - 12 Buffalo - 15 Detroit - 10 Pittsburgh - 14 Montreal - 12 NYI - 16 Boston - 15 -------------------------------------------------------------- Columbus - 17 Washington - 12 Ottawa - 14 The Wings have already given up ground to everyone.

Uh-oh.

Sharks come back to beat the Habs 6-5 in a wild one.

Sabres, Bruins and Blue Jackets won tonight. Penguins and Capitals lost tonight, in regulation. Habs up 2-1 over San Jose in the 2nd.

Right. Imagine if he was a free agent this summer, would someone sign him for 6 years @ $11.6mm? Nope. But that's what contract you'd be taking over.

I'd have cautious optimism if he performed well for Sweden in the 4 Nations or Olympics but he really didn't.

Man, this was terrible.

An even funnier injury report today …

In other ex-Wings news apart from Fabbri, Anthony Mantha at 31 y.o. has his most goals since 2019, at 21. At 21G 24A 45Pts he is just 4 away from his career-best in goals and 3 away from his career-best in assists.

And now we wait for news on Gibson ... Update:

Yep, I wouldn't take Petersson for free with no assets going to the Canucks unless they retained at least $3mm per year of the $11mm cap hit. At $8mm a year I'd probably risk Danielson and a 1st.

4-2 Wings with half a minute to go. Comeback win!

3:42 to go.

Busy Monday

The Wings will need to kill a penalty with 15 minutes to go, the Preds had been coming on even before the call.

Johansson with a shorthanded goal and the Wings lead. Nashville fans aren't happy.

Wings trail. I don't like Mondays.
