Berry 2 Report post Posted March 31, 2010 We almost reached the playoffs!!! I think that even if we'll play against a top team we have good chances to go deep in the playoffs in fact, even if we're not in a top position we demonstrated that we are in good shape are we are ready to battle hard against every team.

Motown4013 350 Report post Posted March 31, 2010 Despite the blunder last night...and Jimmy wasnt great (but as Mickey said, EVERYONE has a bad game and cant be brilliant every night) we are playing great hockey. In the last 15 games we are 12-2-1. Honestly...and I have said this all year, I dont see any team in the West being able to take 4 of 7 games from us. Now that everyone is healthy, we have a legitimate shot of going very deep. Every team has a weakness, whether that be SJ's history of &^^)*&* the bed or Chicago's goaltending....there isnt a clearcut favorate. The way that Nashville is playing, I would prefer not playing them in the 1st round but other than that, BRING IT!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pjgj13 30 Report post Posted March 31, 2010 I think it is funny that the Wings are now just 6 points behind the 'Hawks and have a legitimate shot at the division title. Not too long ago they were about 20 points behind them! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not too long ago they were about 20 points behind them! I was talking to my dad about this... He and I both mused at how hilarious it would be if we overtook Chicago (although it probably won't happen). I do like how things are going. We can play like absolute crap and still find a way to win. Imagine what happens if we get our old Mojo back (where we don't blow a 4 goal lead)? I really am starting to like Detroit in the playoffs, especially when nobody thought we would have a shot at it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really am starting to like Detroit in the playoffs, especially when nobody thought we would have a shot at it. I have friends that gave up on them a few months ago and I kept saying that as long as they stay in reach of the playoffs, once everyone is back, they will be fine and will kick ass. So far, I am correct!! If they do overtake them, would it be one of the biggest flops ever? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FedorovMan91 1 Report post Posted April 1, 2010 I said we had no chance in the playoff a while ago but I think we have a shot again this season. Every team has a weakeness. San Jose- I do not think SJ would choke as the last season but history is not on their side (although it can change any time) Chicago- Unexperienced goalie, two main D are out. Vancouver- look pretty balanced; Luongo does not look to collapse down but Canucks D always played not to the expectation. Pheonix- No shootout in the playoff and not terrific Offense Nashiville- balanced team but not much experience Detroit- unexperienced goalie, weaker depth than the last season LA- Nearly zero experience, unexperienced goalie Colorado- struglling lately and not having great depth --- Calgary- weak depth on offensive zone and J-Bouwmeester is playing awful. No one can support Iginla. Nystrom is the only player plays to the expectation. I think this season's west is tougher than last two seasons; all 8 teams look pretty strong and do not think any series would be easy to pass. I think Nashville would be the hardest team to play against but at the end, I think it would be one of SJ, Detroit, or Vancouver. Just prediction I think it is funny that the Wings are now just 6 points behind the 'Hawks and have a legitimate shot at the division title. Not too long ago they were about 20 points behind them! Well I think the Hawks will win the division still but it really does not matter. As I mentioned previously, the Preds would probably kill any team that they would face. No matter win or lose the series but will be out of gas. Well re-built team this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
