I woke up on Sunday already knowing that it was going to be time to face reality. I thought that meant a more-sober reflection on the Red Wings' extending the streak on the very last day of the season with only 93 points and being one of only two playoff teams with a negative goal differential (historically a very strong indicator about a team's ability to make noise in the playoffs). It meant a reflection on the task at hand.

Talk about a gut-punch.
Mitch Albom pays attention to the Red Wings maybe three or four times per year.
