The Wings’ last foray into the quagmire that is the Western Conference playoffs has finally been given its timetable, and it’s not that bad.
Their playoff series with the Anaheim Ducks will begin Tuesday night at the un-godly hour of 10:30 pm, followed by a game every other night until Detroit wins 4 out of 7.
Remember that this is the last year we’ll have to do this, so it might be wise to remember that when you’re pounding back another coffee at 5 pm just to stay awake. Pre-game naps are recommended, but if you haven’t taken one in the last week, then don’t fuck around with the mojo surrounding the team.
Here’s the full schedule. Times for Games 6 and 7 haven’t been announced yet, but all times listed are ET. There also hasn’t been word on whether FSD will be picking up any of the games locally. For those of us outside of Detroit, we’ll just have to hope and pray we don’t get idiots calling the games.
