commentary...

in the last fifteen games,the Red Wings are 4-9-2(10 points out of a possible 30 points),and they have played rather badly,period... even with tonight's loss to the Bruins,they are still in third place in the Atlantic Division,only because of games played(have a game in hand,on the Bruins),but honestly,they have sucked big time,and injuries recently,have put them at a disadvantage... they have missed Erik Cole,and especially Pavel Datsyuk,who has missed six of the last eight games with a leg injury,but should be back(he says that)Saturday,against the Minnesota Wild,and goaltender Devan Dubnyk,who has been very good lately... goaltenderJimmy Howard has been downright bad,since his return from his groin injury... until tonight,Petr Mrazek has been very good,in relief of Howard... goaltending,and team play in the NHL comes down to confidence,and nobody is confident right now,in Hockeytown... honestly,the Red Wings should get into the Stanley Cup playoffs,but you do not want to fight,claw,and scratch,until the last day of the season to get there... however,the Red Wings may have to do it again,this season...
