A short-handed Detroit team beat Chicago 4-3 in regulation yesterday, but it didn't mean shit, as Dallas couldn't beat the poop Wild. If only pucks couldn't get kicked into nets, the Chicago bandwagon would die down, making them less obnoxious and emptying half of the United Center. Aw, who am I kidding? They're 200% obnoxious all the time. Even when they sucked.
