Well…it has been a weird series for the Wings….it appears that they have outplayed the Preds in every game, and the stats back that up…but, when you look at the score, we’re down 3-1 in the series and tonight could put us out. But, the thing that will have me watching this one is that, if we lose, it could be Nick Lidstrom’s last game as a Wing and that is something that I really don’t want to happen. Nick has been the one constant in the Red Wings team since my youngest son got me started watching them 18 years ago and it just won’t be the same without him…but, maybe I’m getting ahead of myself and we’ll win and keep it going….I have changed it up by shaving off the playoff beard and there will be no gear worn tonight…have to try something….
