GDT - Game 32: Red Wings (15-11-5) at Ducks (22-4-4) 8:00

03/24/2013 at 9:23am EDT

DET sit 7th in the Conference today; 3 points from 4th, and 3 points from 11th.

Last GDT I was predicting all doom and gloom for this road trip - and we won? That just proves how little I know about hockey.

But I do know about superstition - there is no chance in hell for Detroit today; we are doomed. Play it Slow-hand!

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.
