Voracek is still on the bench so that helps a bunch. The Flyers are actually playing good hockey though, something the Wings haven't done consistently for months.

March 13 update:
One loss brings them down to 56%.
The game against the flyers is a potential 20% swing. Biggest game of the season.
Where do you get this from?
I don't even think 36% is a realistic % for this team.

With the loss to Philly, its down to 43%. They are going need help from other teams to get in.

Technically I don't think they need help from other teams yet. They can take back the advantage the next time they play Philly. But that's assuming they can keep pace with them in the other games, which isn't looking likely. The glimmer of hope I see is that Philly plays Pittsburgh 3 more times. I'm almost starting to think we have a better chance of beating out Pittsburgh, because if Philly keeps rolling they could hand the Pens a couple of losses there. And without Malkin the Pens could stumble a bit here at the end.

Forever Lost.
Well, disappointing.
I still hope we make it. I believe we still can too.
But if we miss, then oh well. At least the streak will be broken and management can move on and other team's fanbase can relish in it, lol.
Worst case scenario we get a slightly better pick. Never a bad thing considering our only blemish prospect wise is that elusive defenseman.
That said, still LGRW and get on a roll here.

You're right. Let's just hope one of the teams sweep the 3 games between Pittsburgh/Philly.

Technically it's not "help", it is in fact other teams not being good enough to get more points than us.

It is help in that the Wings do not control their own destiny, relying on the other team to help them by losing their games.

There's plenty of games left. One loss won't kill them IF they do their job the rest of the way. The Wings control their destiny. Once it's down to a few games, ya you csn say you need help from others. At this point if they win and play well they shouldn't need any help other than those teams not going on crazy runs.
Philly has been playing so well for a while. Maybe they run out of gas at the end or hit a slide.

Trust me!
Never thought I'd say this, but..... Let's Go Blackhawks!!! Pleaseus.
Don't look at it as rooting for Chicago...just say you're rooting against the Flyers. That's my excuse.

RIP Fugu
You're probably right...
Wings are 7-12 (7-9-3) since All-Star break (after 51 games); at least we got 3 loser points
also Flyers just beat the Hawks 3-2 in CHI!! so after a 6-0 by the LA Kings, the Hawks can't beat the Flyers...
we are done
Philly is too hot right now. Our only small glimmer of hope is for Philly to go 3-0 against Pit. Nonetheless, we cant even win our own games, so were pretty much screwed.
Philly deserves it, that team is playing with so much heart and determination, something our team really lacks.

I just hope they go all in one way or another. Either bomb is out for the rest of the season and get as high of a draft pick as possible, and possibly signal to management that serious changes need to be made; or get this stuff together and start playing like an actual team. I expected the Vets to slow down, but the younger guys have looked very dissapointing this year. Its gut check time. Dats & Z aren't going to pull this team into the playoffs, Larkin/Nyquist/Jurco/Sheahan/Tatar/AA/Mantha/DD/Smith/Mrazek are going to have to step up.
Blash also needs to wake up and realize his system as is, is not working correctly. Time to make changes, especially on the PP. Why they haven't once tried last years PP system, despite this one bombing horribly, strikes me as very odd. I'm totally ok trying something new, and I am still a Blash supporter, but the young guys should be doing better in his system. I expected the older guys to look a bit flatter this season, but no one looks good offensively. That is a major problem.

Better for them not to make the playoffs, than to lose in the first round. Unless they make it a serious business. Mantha could be the last chance, if he doesn't fit, Wings are screwed.
