Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...
It’s a sinking feeling when your team once had a 3-1 lead in a best-of-seven playoff series but suddenly finds itself facing a Game 7, and on the road at that.
Such is the feeling facing fans of the Detroit Red Wings today.
The Wings blew a 2-1 lead Monday and lost 4-3 to the Blackhawks in Game 6 of their Western Conference semifinal. Both Detroit newspapers — the News and the Free Press — took the pulse of a panicked Red Wings fandom and came to the same front-page conclusion:
“UH-OH!”
Game 7 — the Red Wings’ final hope of averting total collapse — is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday at the United Center.
