commentary...

i honestly am mystified by the Red Wings' play this season... they are very difficult to watch,because they are so inconsistent... they are in the playoff hunt,in the Eastern Conference,but they seem to take teams too lightly,and lose games that they should win... as for last night's game against the San Jose Sharks,they looked very good in the first period(had a very good "road" period,tied at one),but then they collapsed in the second period,giving up three easy,and soft goals to the Sharks,and then mailed it in the third period,looking like the Charleston Chiefs,from the movie,"Slap Shot"(a great hockey movie,and comedy,and an underrated Paul Newman role)... if you are surprised by my reaction as a fan,do not be,because i am truly very sad in watching them,and yet,they have not played up to their potential,period...
