DET has it easy next round so congrats. I know the regular season doesn't necessarily predict a playoff victory but DET has been able to manhande CHI pretty well the past few years.

Conference Finals between Chicago and Detroit will be pretty sweet. I'm excited to see two (very good) original six go at it. Before the playoffs I would have picked the Wings in this match up without even thinking about it seeing them own the Hawks during the regular season. I would still pick Detroit, but its not so certain. I think the Hawks have grown and matured very quickly this post season, and they continue to do so. Win or lose, a series versus the Red Wings will be a great learning experience for this young Blackhawk team. If not this year, watch out for these guys in the near future. Of course this is all contingent on the Wings finishing off their series with the Ducks.
In other news, its great to hear that Mike Modano is coming back for his 20th season next year. I'd be willing to bet that it will be his last one too. Like many great players before him, it will be weird to have him not play anymore. When he's gone I think my days of following/rooting/slightly caring for the Stars will finally be at an end.

I must say, a month ago, I'd have said wings hands down, but now, I only give them about 60;40 odds. either way that series will likely go the distance.
Though DET has pretty much owned CHI the last few years, looking at their playoff run so far, this could forseeabley go both ways. |

Understanding that the Red Wings are probably the best team left in the playoffs and pretending to root for them because you feel you might be more socially accepted when they probably win are not the same thing.

IMO the Wings need to finish off the Ducks tonight. They have them on the ropes and need to finish it now. They need their strongest game yet tonight, and then rest to get ready for the youthful Hawks. If they don't, CHI could get out ahead of them next series. I by no means see them as an easy team for DET. They have matured a lot this season and have tons of young, fast talent. DET (assuming they finish off the Duckies) will have their work cut out, just to keep up with them. They'll need to keep it physical to slow them down, and then play puck possession big time to tire them out.

From what I've seen, the only way to beat them is to wear them down by running them around. Puck possession is key. |
