In the WIIM pre-game thread, I had a 4-1 Sharks win with Joey Mac being Player of the Game, and was only off because Dany Heatley hits trees better than open nets (yep, I went there; that’s what happens when the Wings lose and I get less than 5 hours sleep).

The Sharks (and Hawks) may be hot right now, but that doesn’t change the fact they played like dog shit at the beginning of the year and could go right back to being those mediocre teams they were in October and November. The Wings are just doing what they do every single year: race out to a big lead in the division and then coast through February and March before ramping it up again for a long playoff run. If the Wings are still playing like this in 2-3 weeks, then I will start to get worried.
