The Detroit Red Wings will turn to Jimmy Howard tonight to board up the net in Minnesota to give them a chance to win a hockey game. I mention “a” hockey game because the simplicity of winning a single hockey game seems so far fetched at the moment.
Before you get all uptight, I am not suggesting winning a hockey game is easy; it’s not. It’s very difficult to do but losing 9 out of the last 10 games, or 13 of the previous 15 is even harder to accomplish, yet the Wings have succeeded.
