After watching maybe the most boring 65 minutes of hockey ever played, the Wings pushed my patience to the god damn limit by taking 11 rounds of shootout to put away the Predators. The night before the Wings couldn't take a shot without scoring a goal while on their way to routing the Wild 5-2, but tonight the offenses were as productive as the Lions at Lambeau.
Eventually Kronwall slipped one 5 hole and Jimmy Howard stopped 10 out of 11 breakaways to capture another 2 huge points. Now it's not a question of getting into the playoffs but how high we can climb. If there was another month left to the season I wouldn't doubt we could catch San Jose for the #1 spot. Only downside to this winning streak is that we are letting the Hawks off the hook and probably won't see them until further down the playoff road.
