Postgame: Capitals @ Red Wings – 3/19

I’m going to stand by the following Twitter exchange from early in the first period:

@wingingitmotown: Imagine the Aucoin Quincey Trip goal is the game-winner and hate me for asking you to.

@detroithockey96: Hell no, that’s the only appropriate way for this to end. Wings battle back just enough for that to matter

This “fight back in the third period after an awful first forty minutes” joke has got to stop. The Wings deserved to lose on a goal that should in no way have counted because it emphasizes the fact that they didn’t do enough to win. They haven’t for awhile now, so I’m not going to be mad about the outcome, just about the fact that they can’t seem to put together a full game.
