mackel 681 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 (edited) Looking at the standings today, things seem quite fluid in the top and bottom 3 spots in the conference. Assuming we make the playoffs, which of the likely matchups would you prefer... the Rangers, Canadiens or Lightning? Personally, I'd like a matchup with the Rangers.

GoWings1905 2,694 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 All three are poor matchups, truthfully. I want no part of the Rangers -- I think they are the best team in hockey. I would probably choose the Lightning. Even then, I don't think the Wings would win the series. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,794 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 At this point, I'll take the playoffs for starters. We still have work to do to get in. I'll also take Tampa, because they're Tampa. 1 Motown4013 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WingsallTheway 383 Report post Posted April 5, 2015 Preferrably FLA or CLB. I think we could beat them in the lottery draft and get 14th pick Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aethernum 276 Report post Posted April 6, 2015 You have to beat the best to win it all. Doesn't matter who we play. I'd love it if we took on Tampa in the first round, Montreal in the second, Rangers in the CF, and the Blues, Hawks, or Preds in the SCF. If this team's gonna win, let's win in style against the best teams. I don't want a consolation second round exit just because we got stuck with an easy first round matchup.

LeftWinger 4,959 Report post Posted April 6, 2015 at this point, I think 100% of us just want to make it...it's getting worse every day. IF we do get in, I would take the Rags first choice. Price is just too good, and Tampa has had our number for years. I don't think we'd beat any of them, but the Rangers would be a better match up I think...again, I would take the Charleston Chiefs if it meant getting to the dance...

Crashnburnluder 385 Report post Posted April 6, 2015 If Max Pac is our first round I wouldn't mind Montreal. Yes they have price but missing their leading goal scorer could be a huge boost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Detroit # 1 Fan 2,204 Report post Posted April 6, 2015 Get in first. Then, probably Tampa. They're a good matchup, we probably wouldn't win a single game vs the Rangers the way were playing, and Montreal would depend on if we could solve Price. Definitely Tampa. 1 GoWings1905 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GoWings! 179 Report post Posted April 6, 2015 We don't deserve the playoffs the way we've played the past 5 weeks but I think I'd rather Tampa Bay. Montreal and the NY Rangers have been tough to beat lately. Although I think we match up well against the Rangers, they are playing better hockey than everyone the past month.
