Detroit is the 2001-2002 Duke of the NHL

Don't comment, just be ready to apologize to me after the playoffs are over.


Anyway...

With Mr Yzerman out till at least the end of the regular season due to injury, he won't be full strength if he can play in the playoff, Hassek has a history of choaking when the pressure was on, and well as Barry Melrose of ESPN stated : "Its not hard to beat Detroits Old Defensmen, dump the puck behind the net and chase it down, if they do keep up, it wont last long."
