Dead Wings
This is not defeatism on my part, friends, this is simple reality. The Red Wings are going to get knocked out of the marathon NHL playoffs in the very first round. And I don't think anybody, not even they themselves, know what is wrong. Cujo looks fine in net. Is it that Dave Lewis is like Bo Schembechler, he chokes in the post-season? They're playing the Anaheim Mighty Ducks, for Pete's sake! The Mighty Ducks! The Disney team! They should be no match for the merciless, if geriatric, Detroit juggernaut! Yet the proud champions of Hockeytown are down three games to none following last night's defeat.

I say this every December about my beloved Lions, but I'm just not used to saying it about the Red Wings: there's always next year....
