The Red Wings have battled injuries all year long, and despite that we still are 2nd in the west, but with our forwards banged up (Hudler, Bertuzzi, Franzen, and Datsyuk) I'm a little concerned about the playoffs, especially with the possibility of playing Chicago in the first round.

The Wings always find a way to get through - they're the closest thing to a dynasty since the Gretzky Oilers!

As for my Caps - as long as they can stay away from the Flyers, Pens, Habs, Bruins and Islanders in the first round, they might get to the second round! 

I'm not a Red Wings fan but having Pavel Datsyuk out of action is a loss to everyone. He's an absolute genius with the puck!

As a Habs fan, after three shutout losses in a row just before the playoffs, I'm beginning to suffer from traumatic stress.

Yes, and Pavel will be out tomorrow for our game vs Washington.

Oh, well at least you still have Zetterberg and Lidstrom.
