The Western Conference representative in the Stanley Cup Finals has been either the Red Wings or the team that ousted them. Take a look:
2002: Cup champion
2003: Swept by Anaheim
2004: Ousted by Calgary in 6 games
2006: Ousted by Oilers in 6 games
2007: WCF loss to the Ducks
2008: Cup champion
2009: Cup finalist
This means that in the event the Wings are bounced by the Coyotes we all know who will represent the West in the Stanley Cup Finals.

I'd like to point out, 3 of the 4 times we've won the Cup, we were behind in the first round.
Been there, done that.

yeah, in 03, 04, and 06 the team that beat us lost in game 7 of the finals. the senators had to go and mess that streak up by losing in 07!

I love Maltby, but to say he wasn't a ****** is a dis-service to his career of douchebaggery.

I think you may have mixed up your years....yeah, in 03, 04, and 05 the team that beat us lost in game 7 of the finals. the senators had to go and mess that streak up by losing in 06!
My money on the board pledge:
$1 for each goal scored by a player after whom I have named a hamster.
An additional $5 for each hat trick scored by a player after whom I have named a hamster.
An additional $10 if any of the above goals is the GWG goal that gives us the series win.
An additional $50 if it is the GWG that wins us the Cup.
$5 for a SO by Jimmy.
Hamsters' names (current players in RED): Henrik Pavel Tomas Nicklas Dominik
Niklas Matthieu Daniel Robert
Johan Andreas Valtteri Jonathan
Andrew Patrick Ian Todd
And introducing: Jordin Damien Gustav James
TOTAL SO FAR: $27

1997 losing game 1 to St. Louis.
1998 losing game 3 in phoenix... 3-2. Little more pressure being down 2-1 than 1-0.
2002 down 2-0 heading into Vancouver.
2008 - weren't down, but Nashville had tons of momentum after coming out of the 2-0 hole.

Speaks volumes for the wings really, I'd take it as a complement. I think the precedent makes it all that much more of a big deal to me that the wings win- I am sick of the princess story post seasons for failing franchises.

Basically the motto is: The Wings lose because the team that beat them is the best in the Western Conference.
The other motto is: In order for the Wings to win the cup, they have to face adversity and overcome it in the first round.
