The team just completely fell apart, giving up 4 goals before the period mercifully ended. At this point, I would have thought it was obvious that we needed a change - I’m not saying Dom was playing bad (though he obviously wasn’t stellar) - but sometimes it gives the team a spark. I mean, look at San Jose, they pulled Nabokov and it settled them right down. Maybe that wasn’t the only reason they turned their game around, but I bet it played a part. Babcock, for whatever reason, chose to leave Dom in net. Still, I wasn’t too worried because dismal as it seemed, the game was bearing a striking resemblance to a recent win over Columbus. Okay, I thought, we’ll just come back out and score 4 more in the third, no problem… [...] [...] The second period, however, revealed that concern would have been much too mild an emotion for what was to come - we should have been panicking.

Their last two wins were against those teams, 3-1 over the Wild on Wednesday and 7-4 over the Jackets on Thursday.  After tonight, the Wings will play one more home game (Anaheim, Tuesday) before embarking on a five-game road trip to California, Colorado and Arizona.

It's a little disturbing that the Wings gave up four straight goals, but impressive that they responded with four goals of their own. I saw Hank's goal and it looked so easy that I thought the Jackets were done. I was surprised to hear later that there was such a crazy swing before the end. Sheesh, I’m sorry I missed the game.
