Ozzie looked understandably rusty in yesterdays 4-3 loss to the Flyers but after giving up a goal 17 seconds into the game, he settled in nicely and by the end of the game he started tracking the puck better. Even though there were several sloppy turnovers and mental mistakes by the Wings, they still showed a lot of heart and battled back to make it a one goal game and had their fair share of chances to tie it up. But against a Flyers team who was fighting for their playoff life they just couldn't get over the hump.
Even so, with the Calgary loss yesterday, the Wings clinched a playoff berth for an astonishing 19th consecutive year. With only 3 games remaining each point is critical in playoff positioning. The Wings are currently in the 6th spot but could climb as high as the 5th or could drop as low as the 7th spot depending how things shake out down the stretch. I say we throw these last three games so we drop to 7 and get to knock the Blackhawks in the mouth right away. Fuckin beating up on the Coyotes or Canucks would just be boring shit.
Fixing to be a hell of a week. Tigers opening day, Wings getting all revved up for the playoffs. Shit, tell me there is anything better.
