commentary...

tomorrow's Red Wings game is against the San Jose Sharks,in Detroit... both teams need two points for a win,especially the Sharks,who are on the outside looking into the Stanley Cup playoffs,because they are in a deep hole(right now,they are ten points behind the Winnipeg Jets,for wild card,and eight points behind the Calgary Flames,and the Los Angeles Kings,who are tied for eighth,and are both tied for third in the Pacific Division-loser of that "fight" most likely out of the playoffs,unless one of them beats Winnipeg),and one other thing that will come into focus,are the regulation/overtime wins,which San Jose has fewer ROW's than everybody,but Winnipeg,but San Jose would have to beat Winnipeg outright for that tiebreaker to kick in for San Jose,but ten points is a big mountain to climb,and every team ahead of San Jose has more wins than they do,and with nine games to go,they will have to run the table,to get there,if at all possible... now,to the Red Wings,they need a win to keep ahead of the Boston Bruins,and the Ottawa Senators,who are red hot(15-0-1,in the last sixteen games)... they play the Tampa Bay Lightning,along with both the Bruins,and the Senators,before the end of the season,which is a tough road to hoe... even though it does appear that the Red Wings will make the Stanley Cup playoffs for the 24th straight season,they really do not want to fight for the eighth seed,this season,so the Red Wings need,at least,a point tomorrow,against the Sharks...
