It’s been nearly three weeks since I’ve been able to watch a Detroit Red Wings game, and hoo boy what a three weeks it’s been. Three wins in a row against tough opponents followed up by three straight OT losses, a shutout at the hands of the Leafs, and Tuesday’s loss to New Jersey.
The New York Islanders have also been busy. They finally fired head coach Jack Capuano, have gone 5-0-1 since his replacement Doug Weight’s takeover, got the news that they may need to start house hunting again soon, and signed goalie Thomas Greiss to a three-year deal.
