The race for the NHL wild card is marked by teams exhibiting poor performance, with the Montreal Canadiens narrowly holding onto a playoff spot despite not winning in regulation. The Detroit Red Wings, after a brief resurgence, have returned to their struggles, failing to secure goalie solutions and smart acquisitions. They recently suffered a lackluster game against the Hockey Clubs, winning 5-1, but only due to lucky goals while actually being outplayed, illustrating their ongoing deficiencies on the ice and the daunting road ahead for playoff contention.
The funny thing about getting invested in the race for the wild card is that, by definition, none of the teams involved are very good.
The Wings, last among the not-good teams, are really not good. They tricked people into thinking they might be when they ripped off a couple of seven-game win streaks.
