Yeah... I am aware of that. Are you aware that within two weeks prior to that, DET managed to be completely smoked by CLB and NAS and let CAL win a game that they led by 2 goals w/ just over 3 minutes left in regulation? Not exactly great defense and goaltending...
I've been watching the Wings all season, so I think I have a little bit of an idea what I'm talking about. Have you? I am a big fan of theirs, but I'm not deluded into thinking they are invincible. There are many things that would prevent their potential repeat: lack of motivation/commitment, injuries, an overachieving opponent. Detroit will need to be at their very best just to make it out of the west. So far, I'm not seeing it.

and DET is missing 2 of those to begin with, 3 depending on the opposite team.
maybe but I am still going with them as my sleeper favorite. do I think they'll win the cup; no. do I think they will do alot more then whats predicted; hells yes.

I agree with you guys...Detroit is playing some of the worst hockey I have seen them play...and yet they still are leading the league in points.

they have also played more games then most of the league. anyways, as you said earlier, wins in the season are nothing. I think DET will be strong in the playoffs but I don't know how strong they can be.

Dr Whom, you also got to remember you are debating with a bunch of guys who all think their favorite team is going to lose big!

this doesn't take into account SJS ability to do something completely stupid at the worst possible moment....like say take a penalty in overtime of a 3 game disadvantage.......you know, shit like that....

Besides, then I'd have to factor in that Calgary regularly beast SJS and DET, but loses to the Leafs, Philly and the like. |
