"Teams usually are tested at some point during the long hockey season. Are they good enough, mentally strong enough to be a championship-quality team?

The Red Wings might have reached that critical juncture already.

The clear inability to score goals continued to haunt the Wings on Thursday as they lost, 4-1, to the Calgary Flames.

The defeat stretched the Wings winless streak to six games (0-5-1), a streak in which the Wings have scored a grand total of six goals.

If they aren't careful, the Wings could be digging themselves a hole from which they won't be able to climb out of later in the season."
