The Wings Run May Not Be Over

from Edward Fraser of The Hockey News,
There are a few things I mildly disagree with in THN’s official picks, which are currently being revealed day-by-day HERE, but there’s one selection in particular that had my chin-gruff dusting the floor: The Detroit Red Wings.
I don’t want to spoil the surprise by saying exactly where the closest-thing-we’ve-had-to-a-dynasty-since-the-Oilers is slotted, so I’ll simply say I don’t believe The Hockey News, and many other punditry troupes, are giving the Wings the respect they deserve.
Lest we forget Detroit is home to a squad that was one victory away from a back-to-back Stanley Cup parade and its fifth NHL championship in the past 12 seasons. And there’s nothing the Winged Wheel has lost – or any other Western Conference team has added – to make me a firm believer the Lidstrom-led legion isn’t still the cream of the West’s crop.
