Dead Wings? Nope.

from Mike Brophy of Sportsnet,
The Red Wings have been the NHL’s model franchise for a little more than a decade; a team that others look to for guidance and inspiration. The Anaheim Ducks may have bullied their way to a Stanley Cup title, but for the most part it has been the speedy and disciplined Red Wings that have been the league’s most influential team.
And suddenly because they drop a pair of games to the St. Louis Blues, games that could have gone either way, they are done?
Somehow I don’t think a team that has Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg as its marquee forwards is in dire straits. They are two of the best forwards in the NHL. Nor do I think a team that has Nicklas Lidstrom and Brian Rafalsi on its blueline is in peril.
