GDT - Game 30: Red Wings (14-10-5) host Wild (16-10-2) 7:30

03/20/2013 at 7:32am EDT

The Western Conference standings are tighter than Adrian Dantley's wallet. The Wings 33 pts have them holding onto the 7th spot at the moment, 3 pts out of 4th place, and only 3 pts in front of 10th place CBJ. Jobu was apparently in charge of Tuesday's practice; Eaves is questionable after being hit in the mellon by a puck, Datsyuk has the flu, and Hank has the runs.

MIN have passed VAN and lead the Northwest.

Time to pull an Al Davis; just win, baby.

About Abel to Yzerman

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.
