Really?
You haven't looked? Not once? Oh there are a few of you...sage, high brow. Experts. A few of you who like to lecture us in the comments about the things we just can't see, the organizational vision, the subtleties.
But they've looked too.
At the standings. Liar. You have. And you have at least once in the last 24 hours.
If like five teams lose tonight and the Wings win, Detroit jumps past Ottawa, Washington, Pittsburgh and the Islanders in the Wild Card standings.
Naturally, that doesn't matter one bit. But it is kind of fascinating when you consider where this team was 8 games ago.
