Summary
Mike and Rico devote the majority of this short show following the Tigers game discussing their thoughts on the Red Wings, who pulled off a come-from-behind 5-4 win against the Canadiens in OT last night. They wonder if there are people out there who are satisfied with Detroit's season even without a playoff berth, and if they're overreacting regarding their thoughts on the topic. The guys take plenty of your calls and read your ticket texts throughout the show, leading right into Riger and Marc Ryan at 6.
