Keep forgetting to chime in on the Wings, so here goes:
The team's lack of ability to hold leads is nuts (5 games with blown leads so far) but I am going to assume that eventually gets fixed since defense is Detroit's biggest strength.
On offense, Z and Dats not scoring is hurting the the team as much as anything. Obviously they'll pick it up and I am sure a nice 7-3 type stretch will follow.
Goaltending has been okay. Not bad, not great, just okay. Not much help a lot of the time, but then when they do have help they let a weak one slip.
Overall I think we'll be a 4 - 5 seed, and a threat if Ozzy steps up in the playoffs.
Not time to panic yet, though if we get 2-3 weeks more into the year and are playing like this, then I'll be more concerned.
