i guess. in 06-07, they only won the Central by 3 points over the Preds anyway. they could still catch the Sharks. i don't think it's particularly likely that the Hawks will surpass the Wings, though it's certainly not impossible (6 points up with 3 games at hand is hardly a hill to climb, really). i think everyone thinks the wings are underachieving right now rather than overachieving, though. I agree...they are playing terrible and still pulling wins out of their asses. However, people are not realizing that the season isn't even halfway over yet.
