In a game where a win would at worst give Detroit breathing room in the playoff race and at best vault them from eighth to seventh in the standings, the Red Wings simply did not play like anything was on the line.

I was all set to disagree with Ken and Mickey about goaltending being the difference tonight and then I saw the game summary.

The Red Wings seriously had 31 shots tonight? Could have fooled me, I feel like they got ridiculously few chances through on Roberto Luongo.
