Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Rick Osentoski-Imagn Images Their playoff hopes clinging to life support, the Detroit Red Wings are invoking the mantra of the club’s celebratory post-game win song. Don’t stop believing.
In reality, Detroit’s playoff chances are more like that scene in Monty Python and the Holy Grail, when the guy pulling the cart overflowing with bodies is hollering, “Bring out your dead. ” A body is dropped on top of the pile. “I’m not dead,” the alleged carcass proclaims.
“You’re not fooling anyone,” says the person seeking to discard him. “You will be soon. ” In reality, that is the fate that awaits this team.
Trailing the Ottawa Senators by three points for the final playoff spot with three games to go, mathematically, the Red Wings could still make it. Realistically, it’s highly unlikely. Red Wings captain Dylan Larkin , who earlier this season carried Miracle On Ice maker Mike Eruzione on his shoulders after helping the USA win Olympic gold, is going to need an even bigger miracle to lift this team into postseason play.
