Get Your DVRs Set for 6pm and 8:30pm Tonight!

Besides the Wings and Blues game just a heads up that BTN is showing their replay of "Big Ten Football Game of the Week" featuring the beautiful sight of Michigan's end to Ohio's streak @ 6 with the 2011 OSU Michigan game and then at 8:30 it's Under the Lights vs Notre Dame! So happy I was there to see that. Still is the greatest football game I've ever seen. Also around 11 they're showing the 2011overtime thriller with Purdue vs Ohio. Another glorious game! Great action all around! GO BLUE AND GO WINGS!

They're going to make the playoffs, that's for certain. However, its the difference between home ice (which they could have had if they held onto the central division lead they had for a good chunk of the year) or playing Nashville (tough team with good goaltending) or playing out west to start the playoffs (traditionally this has been a struggle for the wings). 

What matters is where they're seeded. They really don't want to end up in the 6 seed because they're either going to play San Jose or LA (probably) and if you've watched any of the last three years playoff runs you know that San Jose gives the Wings fits.

Is the time to get hot with the playoffs only a week away. We need to stay healthy now that our injuries at starting to clear up but having Helm out still is not helping. Looks like its going to be a Preds vs Wings matchup for the first round but they aren't in 4th place which would give us home ice. Need this win tonight.

A sentiment after my own heart. I will readily admit I am a playoff NBA fan only as I am a fan of effort night in and night out and they just don't bring it during the regular season, but I make an exception for very good teams that seem to also try harder than the rest. So this season I will watch the Bulls (my normal team), and the Thunder whenever I happen to catch them on. The rest just aren't worth the time investment.

For me, this game is about a lot more than home-ice advantage in the playoffs. I think the Red Wings effort in the game against the Blues will be a good predictor of what they're playoff fate will be. If it's another lackluster road effort in a critical game against a top-tier opponent, I'm fully preparing myself for that first round exit.

Watching Michigan #beatohio and then I read on ESPN that Sullinger is going pro!  Hopefully that doesn't influence Burke to enter the draft too.

I'm sitting here watching the Michigan Notre Dame game from last year and I can't help thinking to myself wow the good guys played horrible. I guess I let the excitement of the game over time blind me from the reality of how the game really went. I remember sitting there feeling like shit during the mass majority of the game, but I remember the universe coming to order at the end. Now looking back their running backs just ripped through the middle of the field and Floyd just caught everything on the outside. Michigan's offense in no way in any way was consistent during the game, they survived completely off of big plays. I really believe metaphorically Reese handed the gamer over. Yet, it's still amazing how everything just came together at the end. It was just the beginning of the legacy of the 132.
