The Wings played their worst first period I've seen in a long time. They came out absolutely flat, took a bunch of stupid penalties because the Stars were skating circles around them easily since they were playing effortless, and paid for it.
It was nice to see them step it up physically in the second period and climb back in the game, but it completely disappeared once the third period started. It appears that this will be the first, and hopefully only slump of the season. Saturday's game against Washington will be a good indicator of that. If the Wings come out flat again in the first against an energetic team like the Caps, expect the same result.

Something to keep in mind... it was around this time last season (February) where the wings struggled as well.
Of course some attribute that to the Lidstrom injury (and I think Z was out too). But we have had some guys missing time of late.
