I wouldn't get too excited.  They're going to lose at least 4 of their remaining games.  They'll be knocked out in the wildcard round.

Will they, I can assure you that no human being can tell you that for sure, people will guess and speculate on it. My view is they show that they can beat the pistons so there is hope, however it will be very tough. Just keep this in mind the beauty in Sports is that sometimes the result of a game, series or competition is unpredictable. Upsets have happened plenty in the past and this will be far from the biggest ever.

Actually, yes. They have a great attitude and are not merely satisfied splitting the series 1-1 in Ottawa. They fully intend to go out and win again tonight and here's hoping they do just that! For some odd reason, Game Two of a best-of-seven series in the Stanley Cup Playoffs is significant. Close to 70% of the teams who win Game Two end up winning the series. So...\n\nLet's Go Buf-fa-lo!!!

Anyone could be playing goalie for the red wings next year. There are quite a few options via trade or free agency. Some notables are Belfour, Biron, Luongo, Gerber, JS Guegierre (sp??), Nabokov...I think a lot of people assume Osgood is back but only as a back up...he might be able to challenge for the starter position. But the Wings have a lot of capable prospects including Jimmy Howard, Stephane Liv, Drew McIntyre, and Joey McDonald. So who knows :S

Hopefully we will have snow and the RED WINGS will win a game!!!  Yay Hockey!!

we've had an absolutely unentertaining, lousy last couple of years. really went south with the blake trade - miller and deadmarsh were great but hardly ever played. yes, much of the last few years was due to high end players getting injured or knocked out completely - but it's worrisome because while they will be well under the salary cap - GM Lombardi doesn't seem to enthused about spending money.\n   perhaps demitra had an attitude problem, but the Kings used to really mean something in this town - i still have my original colors jersey from the days at the Forum - but lately they just seem to be in the shadows and don't appear to even try, and when you consider the owner Phillip Anschutz is a billionaire who won't spend on this team yet makes his fortune from real estate (heavy investor in downtown), lives in Denver and is not even a local or a citizen here and thus probably doesn't care so much - i think he uses the team to promote his real estate interests like Staples Center.\n   Unfortunately, the Kings are probably just a screw that makes bigger things turn for him, and i hope and pray somebody who actually, sincerely cares gets the team away from him and puts it back where it used to be.\n   Hockey exploded in the western US when Gretzky came to Los Angeles not just because of the personality of him but his ability. the whole team responded and the hockey was incredible. it was the classic Los Angeles team made up of a bunch of players trying their hardest. now - it's just unmotivated.

I don't think so.  Unstable goaltending and Smyth just hasn't been doing it this season.  I expect them to slowly fade back to 10th or so.

Boy, I wish I knew.  All I can say is I feel the Rangers were hurt the most of any team by having the Olympics in the middle of the season.  That broke the momentum they had at the time.  They sent sent 10 or so players, 5 or 6 of them ended up on the teams in the medal round so they had no time at all to recuperate before the NHL schedule began.  Remember their 6 game losing streak right after the resumption of play?\n\nI haven't calculated it, but I'd have to say their winning % after the break was probably one of the lowest in the league.\n\nNow the flu bug has hit the team with 6 or more players having it heading into Saturday's Game 1 with the Devils.\n\nI'm trying to remain calm and optimistic, but.....

It would be great if they did. They need to quit having the best record in the NHL and then lose in the first round of the playoffs. I thought you hated the Wings?

if they keep playing like they did yesterday they will. and also if \nKoller returns.\nbtw, Rosicky rules!

Detroit. They had thier championship stolen from them last year. They will definetly win this year. The league wont let the team that defines teamwork lose because of bad whistles this year.

Not until they find themselves a true starting goalie. Auld did a great job filling in for Cloutier this year, however even when Cloutier is at his healthy and at his best he is not an elite goalie. They have solid players and as long as they keep the core together (Naslund, Jovonoski, Bertuzzi, maybe the Sedin line), they should be a strong team next year.

They'll probably get a tougher schedule this year (not that it wouldnt' be tough enough) but I'd say they'll push a 20 win season this year.  Depends on Dials I guess.

Hey HABITANT, it's okay. It's just one game. Maybe the Leafs will have a bad game next time and just win 4-1 instead of 5-1. Leaf Bug! you're right. Now that the Leafs have won 4 in a row and 7 of the last 8, no one's saying anything about us anymore. I wonder what'll be on this forum when we win the Cup. GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
