fack. Hawks in 4

I think Detroit might squek out 1 win so id say Hawks in 5

I have a hard time believing that this next series will be a short one guys. All of the Wings-Hawks regular season games went to shootouts, with the exception of one.  Look for Detroit to get a few wins on the board this series, and maybe an upset? If any team could do it, it's the Wings. The Wings battled hard against the ducks, so look for them to do it again here against the Hawks.

^ agreed! Looks like a few people don't like the wings much. I say it's gonna be a 6 or 7 game series and its gonna depend on special teams. Just my opinion. LGRW 😏👍

Detroit beats themselves , if they can fix that they will be ok.

Stop getting 2-3 goal leads and forgetting to play their game.
Howard high blocker side has been bad ......

At least travel is not an issue this series.

[Obscene19]

If anything I think the travel hurt the ducks much more. It really looked like it in game 7. Wings are used to that travel so they know what to expect.

 

As for the Hawks, I agree with dmare. All season the wings took it to them. A few games where the Hawks tied it up last minute and won in OT/shootout. Expect it to be a good series. The wings need to step up their D, its been their downfall the last few years. With Jimmy playing the way he is, and Hank and Pavs doing their thing, theres no reason why they cant knock off the hawks. It will come down to special teams and production from the 3rd and 4th lines. IMO the wings have more depth and it showed against the Ducks. Brunner, Nyquist and Andersson will be the key to winning this series. And now that Babcock split up Pavs and Hank, its going to match up good with Kane, Toews, Hossa and Sharp. Like I said look for production from the 3rd and 4th lines and thats whats going to make the difference.

Oh i forgot...

 

TODD BERTUZZI!!!!

[greghughes]

The Wings do not have more depth than the Hawks. That being said, i do think it will be a close series, just had to say Hawks in 4 out of anger 

[Obscene19]

No need to be upset. It's duck hunting season.

[Buster_D]

^ LMFAO!!!! Special teams and 3rd and fourth line as said above. Agreed. I bet it'll be another long and grueling series for the wings.
