With the (waste of time other than the Weber vs Chara Hardest Shot event) All Star Game this week, the Wings only played two games.  On Monday, they beat the suddenly relevant St. Louis Blues 3-1.   On Wednesday, the Original 6 game against Montreal happened.  I’m choosing not to remember exactly what happened in this game, but apparently, it did happen.  In related news, Nicklas Lidstrom is never allowed to retire.
