Jeremy Laura: Wings face San Jose to close out road trip - pregame thoughts

If this is a coin toss, may I suggest a substantial wager in Las Vegas, where they have Detroit at +175. Good luck!

Seriously? Wow. I don’t gamble so I had no idea. I’d love to see the Wings pull one out but this could be a rough one

I'm thinking the Wings are going to take a beating in this one. They have a history of giving the Sharks a ton of powerplays when they play them (especially in San Jose) and the Wings PK still isn't good (not helped that Nemeth, DeKeyser and now Hronek are out).

You may be completely right. It depends on which Wings team shows up. Don’t eat drawn into stupid penalties.

I won’t eat penalties, don’t worry. Back to hockey, I honestly think we get a proper thrashing tonight. Our top six will look good but our defense will have fits, as will Howard.

That’s too bad. Penalties are delicious! I hate the keyboard “upgrade” from Apple. I would tend to agree with your early assessment.
