GDT - Game 9: Red Wings (4-3-1) host Flames (1-3-2) 7:30

02/05/2013 at 7:17am EST

Eight games into this short season (1/6 of the way), and the Wings have been, what's the word - - - inconsistent (at most things anyway). After the embarassment of opening day, DET established they do in fact have some cajones with an exceptionally gritty win against STL. The very next day, the Wings lay an egg against CBJ - - I lean to giving the Wings a pass, as being spent physically and mentally. But the remaining schedule has more back-to-back (and I'm too lazy to look it up), and DET are going to need wins as they cling to the 8th spot.

The one thing DET have been consistent at this season is horrid special teams play; 11.1 PP%(26), 71.0% PK(28). With all the penalties being called, that is a recipe for losing, plain and simple.

Uncle Mike is freaked out that the 3 and 4 lines have a combined 1 point this season, so DET have called up Tatar (Tots). Looks like Tots is on the 2 line, bumping Bert-Uzi down.

Your team is like a roller-coaster, LGRW.
