DET are at the 3/4 pole, and with 12 games left in the season the 18-13-5 Wings are 7th in the WC. The good news is DET are only 3 pts behind 4th place VAN, the bad news is that DET are only 3 pts ahead of 10th place NSH.
The schedule makers must really love the Wings. In the final three weeks of the season, DET play 5 at home and 7 road contests, three back-to-backs (counting PHX/COL), and have a 4 game road trip. Special, isn't it?
Hard times, bitches; hard times.

Khan tweets from Wednesday practice, Jimmy in net:
Wings skating with these lines: 51-40-11, 8-13-93, 14-63-20, 17-25-22. Bertuzzi skating with top six. Samuelsson had left the ice.
All 8 D are on ice, the 6 who played Monday plus Quincey and DeKeyser. Lashoff expected to join team in Phoenix.
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that.
