Detroit — The Red Wings have played some ugly games against the Montreal Canadiens in recent years.
Two terrible losses in Montreal’s Bell Centre certainly stand out in the last two seasons, total embarrassments that left Wings fans angry and disillusioned.
Add Tuesday’s game to list of embarrassments against Montreal.
The Canadiens scored five times in the second period leading to an 8-1 victory.
A little more than 24 hours after the trade deadline, most fans will be wondering why more of these Wings weren't shipped out of town after this effort.
The Wings played with little energy — there was basically none until Dylan Larkin fought late in the third period — and little or no urgency, despite facing a team in Montreal that had lost the night before in New Jersey.
