p.s. Will the Red Wings make the playoffs???
Don't worry about the Wings. They will undoubtedly extend their amazing record to 23 consecutive years in the playoffs.
You should, however, be VERY worried about the leafs, who are exactly 1 lowly point ahead of the Wings after the first fifth of the season. The difference of course is that the leafs usually start off well and then COLLAPSE at about the 2/3 mark of every season. This year rates to be no exception, what with your fragile group: Lupul, Bozak, Bolland and others on your feeble, ladylike squad should consider BUYING their own hospital. Granted, even when Bozak plays he's useless, so HIS loss is meaningless, but Lupul's not bad on the rare occasions that he's in the lineup.
Meanwhile your erratic and inexperienced goalies (Reimer and "Tie Game" Bernier) have been playing way above their skill level and rescuing the stiffs in front of them, who have been badly outplayed in almost every game this season. Needless to say, your goaltending will crumble at some point. As for Clarkson, he's done squat since returning from his very well-deserved suspension. Phil "the Stick" Kessel has had a few decent games but as usual he's also been completely INVISIBLE for many other games. Even if this stick-swinging coward can avoid further suspensions, he sure as hell won't be Mr. Consistency. (For one thing, he always disappears against the Bruins.)
