GDT - Game 25: Red Wings (12-8-4) at Blue Jackets (8-12-4) 2:00

03/09/2013 at 7:52am EST

Half way there, and DET are sitting in 4th. After the start to this season, who'd a thunk it? That is the good news anyways. In the crosstown traffic that is the WC, the Wings are only 4 points from 11th position. The problematic bit is that DET are the road warrior the rest of the month; 8 road games versus just 3 at home. April is a little better, 7 road, 6 at JLA. The ugly bit is that DET are 3-4-2 on the road.

Better hold on, it could get bumpy.

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.
