Friday's game was hard to stomach. The Wings seemed disjointed all game, unable to gain the middle of the ice in any zone and especially incapable of generating traffic in front of the net. Against a goaltender as big as Pekka Rinne, this was an easy recipe for unmitigated disaster and the game played out as such. Luckily, Mike Babcock saw the same things we saw and complacency has been thrown into the Detroit River with the playoffs approaching. Babs will be juggling the lines for today's tilt with the Panthers, moving the oft buzzed about (at least among the Wings faithful) Gustav Nyquist up to play with Datsyuk and the Mule. Will it work? With only four regular season games left, it better.
