GDT - Game 33: Red Wings (16-11-5) at Coyotes (13-14-4) 10:00

03/25/2013 at 9:23am EDT

Before this road-trip, I opined that DET may damn well be lucky to manage a point. Obviously, I'm no pharmacist. Detroyet's win last night actually pushed them over .500 on the road, although it was far from pretty. Jimmy-Freaking-Howard was a beast, and needed to be after dumb-ass Ken Daniels put the bad mojo on the Wings in the Budd Lynch minute.

Don't expect goal-tending heroics tonight, Monster is in net. There is good news however; PHX are 0-4-1 in thier last 5 tilts - managing a whopping 3 GF in that span.

Of course, I'm continuing to predict doom. No way DET wins after playing last night at ANA, no way in hell.

These are hard times, says Eric Clapton. LGRW, clap-clap-clap-clap-clap, BBM.
