Wings have come to play. What a period. 4-1 Wings after 1. Too little too late?

I would like to thank the Redwings for scoring 4 goals in the 1st period...it really helps getting rid of that stale turd the Tigers left up in my craw today.

Interesting thing about the Washington situation is that the Wings could still flip the tiebreaker. Washington leads by 2 regulation wins but the Wings have more ROWs. So if the Wings go 3-0 all in regulation and Washington goes 3-0 but needs overtime for two of those wins, the Wings get the tiebreaker.

[lordstanley]

Caps take 4-2 lead with 3 minutes to go and look like they're headed for a win. Darn.

[lordstanley]

Leafs make it 4-2 midway through 2nd. Long way to go.

[lordstanley]

4-3. Good grief. Now that Matthews has 69, Leafs will be buzzing all night trying to feed him for his 70th at home.

just put us out of our misery already.

[lordstanley]

I mean, no surprise they couldn't hang onto the lead all the way for a win, but not even make it to intermission? 4-4 after 2.

Wings were leading 4-1 with an 18-7 lead in SOGs, looked like the Wings might have a 2 on 1, it got broken up and the Leafs scored the 4-2 goal on a quite long wrister.

[lordstanley]

Tied at 4 with 9 minutes to go. Bruins up 2-0 over Pittsburgh. 

[lordstanley]

Bad time for a high sticking penalty. Wings need to survive this penalty with 2:45 to go in a tie game or they will be officially eliminated.

Overtime. With the Bruins leading Pittsburgh 4-1, the Wings should still be alive now. Will have a powerplay for first 1:50 of overtime. Win it now!

Gee........maybe if Coach had left DeBrincat with Larkin all along..........   

[Motor City Sonics]

YES !

O CAPTAIN, MY CAPTAIN !

Now we need Boston to hold its 4-2 2nd intermission lead over Pittsburgh. If they do, the Wings will control their own destiny over Philly and Pittsburgh, would need Washington to drop a point.

yeah - I'd like to have seen Lalonde mix and match more just in the regular course of things, firstly just so guys get more familiar with each other in case someone goes down so you don't get the situation where you lose Larkin and all 4 lines are screwed up, but also just because you never know if you might hit a little special chemistry you'd otherwise miss. and you're right that the 2nd line was completely becalmed for weeks and Lalonde pretty much just left it alone instead of trying to change things up.

[lordstanley]

Bruins up 2 over Pittsburgh with 3:12 to go. Pens have pulled their goalie. 

[lordstanley]

Pens lose in regulation! 

So now very simple, if the Wings win their next 2, they just need Washington to drop a point to either Boston or Philly (or NYI to lose both of their remaining games in regulation). There is a scenario where the Wings could get in with 3 pts, but it gets more complicated. Wings can’t get in with only 2 more points. 

[Shinzaki]

Edvinsson showed better offensive instincts on his goal than most of our forwards

[lordstanley]

Would have to think that they go to Reimer tomorrow for the second game of the back to back

A strong sign that ticket prices need to be lowered is that the game tonight is not sold out as of this post.

i took the familly to a game two years ago and was amazed at how expensive it was.  but all hockey games are like that.  hawks tickets face value are ridiculously expensive.
