St. Louis beats Florida on a goal with 7 seconds left in regulation. The Wings are now 11 points up on 9th place Florida (2 games in hand on the Wings) and Washington (same number of games played as Wings).
Who the hell is Sheldon Dries?
I had read earlier on Twitter a flu bug was going around the Wings.
Update: wait, Sheldon Dries played 63 games for the Canucks a few years ago but I’ve never heard this name in my life? Am I just sleepwalking though life?
There was an old line from Larry King or someone that went something like this: "There are 20,000 hockey fans in New York City and 18,000 of them go to MSG several times a year to watch the Rangers".
Wings lose. Habs, Sabres and Bruins all win so all are now just 4 points behind the Wings. Panthers lose in regulation so the Wings still have a 10-pt playoff lead. Leafs lose 7-4 to Buffalo to wrap up a 0-4-1 homestand which included four 3-goal losses.
