from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
However, with no championship since 2002, the Red Wings are in a mood to push past the Stars, even if there isn’t the rivalry between the teams that exists, say, in the all-Pennsylvania Eastern Conference final.
The goal, for the Stars tonight, is to do what they did in the previous two rounds — sweep the first two games, on the road, and get the home team back on its heels.
“Every series is different,” said Stars’ captain Brendan Morrow. “Every team is different. We’re just going to try and play to our strengths, get pucks deep, try to finish some checks and see where the chips fall.”

Duhatschek’s point-blank jab at the Leaf’s organization is priceless, almost as good as the flowery praise for DET:
Meanwhile, in a city that isn’t searching for a new coach OR a new general manager, the Western Conference final begins tonight between the Detroit Red Wings and Dallas Stars, a series that features two of the most successful and — underline this word, Maple Leaf management types - stable NHL franchises of the past decade. . .
Changes, when they come in Detroit, usually occur for logical reasons, which is why the Red Wings are six-time President Trophy winners, when no other organization has won more than two since the award — to the NHL’s regular-season champions — was first presented in 1994.

If that happens, Detroit Metro better be ready because pigs will be flying in the area.
