Missing the playoffs by one point is "a long way down"???

I suppose the level of accomplishment would be directly related to
expectation.

So, just what were *your* expectations of the Wings last year?

I'm not sure at all what it is you're prattling about, but you sure
said it with some attitude.

Way to man up there, Tom.

I can only imagine the preamble that led to that reply: "Ack! He's
disagreeing with me!!! Grrrrrr....Honey, grab me my blood thinners
and glass of apple juice! I'm going to rip off a FIERY RETORT!!!"

Are we back to the ridiculously stupid argument that if you don't win
the Cup you're better off not making the playoff at all?

Yup - I recall Minn was down 3 to 2 games (I think but who cares) however
was is vivid is wah giving up goals (one in an key overtime game) on moves
you generally see in pee-wee hockey. No matter - the last avs/Wings
meaningful series when they had Detroit down 3 to 2 games and never scored
another goal in the two remaining games (plus giving up about 17 in the
first two periods of the 7th) remains a laugher for the ages....

When did the league contract back down to 21 teams? More inside "knowledge"
from "hockeytown?"
