I'm somewhat glad about Detroit no longer being a possible first round opponent but, also, I was kind of hoping they would have been. All the crap about the Wings being the team no one wants to play in the first round is a load of bs, this is not last year's Wings or that of two years ago. They're not as good, they're not better the Hawks and the Hawks would have taken them in six games. I really wanted to see the Hawks beat them in the playoffs unfortunately, I don't think the Wings are going to make it out of the first round. I'll let some other team test out your theory, thank you very much :) I'm thrilled the Hawks won't meet Detroit in the 1st round!
