I'm not sure about the series with the Flames but in the Canucks series it wasn't so much the Blackhawks that won it as the Canucks giving it away. Weaknesses in the Canucks team were exposed and those killed us. In my opinion, the Hawks did nothing surprising while the Canucks' breakdowns were horrific. The Wings have more firepower, more experience and more speed than the Canucks and we handed the Hawks the series on a plate. That's not to say Detroit will sweep. If anything the Blackhawks just keep coming, but if the Wings are steady, don't get complacent and know how to go for the jugular, I see a Red Wing six game victory.

True, Detroit has to keep up the pressure. I'm a Canucks fan here to cheer on the Wings. I firmly believe the Canucks had the opportunities to put that series away and blew them - big time! I doubt the Wings would ever make those mistakes, your team has too much playoff experience, but the Blackhawks will keep coming. If you take game two, however, I think you'll have them on the ropes. Khabibulin is not that good a goalie. Wasn't impressed with him at all. Move Byfuglien from the front of your net and punish their defense. Go Wings!!!!
