The Red Wings have had some luck in their first round series against Nashville. In the opening minute of the second period of Saturday's game,
Nicklas Lidstrom scored Detroit's 2nd goal but it could have easily been called back because
Tomas Holmstrom interfered with Nashville goalie
Dan Ellis. Then the Wings scored the winning goal when
Kris Draper bounced the puck off a Predator skate past Ellis a few minutes later in the second period. Even if the Wings get passed the Pred's, which looks very likely, I think they will have a hard time against any other team in the West. They are just too banged up, too old, and aren't as strong as their President's trophy would suggest.
