What is wrong with the Red Wings?
They’ve lost 6 in a row for the first time in God knows how long ... and they’re making the teams they are playing look much better than they are. I’ve spent this season telling the masses how watching a Red Wings game is unlike watching any other team in the league because they don’t let the other team have the puck.
That has not been the case recently. The defense has looked slow ... the goaltending has been shaky ... and the offense is stuttering. The problem with this is that all these things are happening at once. If only one or two these occur ... the Wings may still be able to survive ... but all three? With the Wing’s 0-1 loss to the Stars on Sunday ... the Stars are now within less than 10 points of the Western Conference’s top spot.
Is this fatigue from going at such a breakneck pace for so long?
Is this because of the injuries to Cleary, Kronwall and others?
When will the Wings turn it around?
I thought this would happen sooner or later ... because the Wings were just playing so well and everything was going their way ... I figured they would run into a hard time eventually. I’m just happy that it’s happening now and not in April. Hopefully the trade deadline will put some new life into our boys in red and spur some energy and good play.

The Wings losing streak is my fault. Right before it happened i wrote a blog post at my espn site, and called the Wings possibly the best ever...I think I jinxed them. My bad.
