Am I the only one still watching?
Of course you're not the only one! Despite what the media wants to say, those of us here in Hockeytown are amped up, and enjoying this playoff. (The Pistons are also doing really well in their playoffs). Thank goodness the Wings didn't get any far-West opponents this year - We get tired of staying up to watch those games in the middle of the night!
We enjoyed hearing Barry 'Mullett' Melrose go on about how Nashville's toughness might be too much for the Wings. Then we enjoyed hearing the Mullett go on about how Colorado's tough style of play (and the almighty Peter Forsberg) would be the end of the Wings' run. Ha-ha! This series against Dallas has been good so far. They played really well in game 2, and Turco looks strong. As Hannah correctly stated, the key to the rest of this series will be even strength play - The Stars have given us a lot of PP chances.
I am a little tired of hearing about the Penguins, but there's no denying the success they have had this playoff (and good for them - they deserve it). I thought the Rangers would come out of the East, but that's OK. I think the Western Conference champ will win it all.
Let's Go Red Wings!
