After three days off to wander Western Canada, the Wings came out of the gate slow, sluggish and unprepared for the NHL’s worst team tonight.

June 12, 2009 By Leave a Comment
It’s been a long season and yet if we could have had another 10 minutes or so … maybe it would have been different. The Red Wings were stoned by Marc Andre Fleury and the crossbar, and they came up short against the wunderkind of the NHL, Sidney Crosby and his Russian buddy-in-uncalled-penalties Evgeni Malkin.
