The Red Wings continued their gut-wrenching, stomach churning trend Thursday night, a trend in which they look alternately like world-beaters and beaten by the world. Last night's loss to the Devils took away the Wings' ability to grab fate by the reins, instead having to rely on either a win and a Nashville loss to clinch fourth or a loss and a Nashville win to fall to sixth and draw what might be an easier matchup than being the fifth seed and starting against the Predators on the road.

Expect a Playoff preview post on Sunday, something along the lines of the mid-season check in I did with more graphs and whatnot. Also, GBGA will be back next week.
