I mean honestly it was about the worst sequence that could have happened last night. Every team won that Wings were treading water with, even the teams with games in hand are trending towards a higher point total than Red Wings over a full season won. Within an 82-game season, it was one of those major setbacks.
It's not sirens yet, Larkins coming back but if they lose the next few and really drop out. Full blown fire-alarms. Especially with the coach, if they fall out. Lalonde has a good roster. Other good coaches available. Defensive pairing at times, PP goals against, Sweeden trip and goalie usage with 3 on the roster can all be creditably criticized, imo.
