1) Kipprusoff may be better than Nabby, but he had no goal support. Just look at the SOG in that series.
2) How can you say you are a way better team than Nashville when the Wings scored only 3 points more than them in the regular season.
3) Nashville was an extremely quick team and I don't think you have the speed to get many scoring chances. I also think that the Wings are too old to compete with such a young and big team as the Sharks. The Wings have 13 players over 30 (2 over 40) and the Sharks have only 4.
The wings have 16 players under 200 lbs and 10 over. The Sharks have only 4 players under 200 lbs and have 21 players over. You may come out of the gate with more quaility scoring chances, but it won't last.
