I would never count out the Wings in the playoffs. Depth and experience can be huge.....if they don't run into a highly physical team that will wear them down. The issue will be your caotain will be 40 next year and a lot of the guys with the experience will be upper 30s. The injuries experienced this year will likely occur on some level again.
The wings will be scarry in the playoffs provided they keep winning and get the help they need from the other teams. Like I have been saying for months no better then a 7 seed likely the 8 so the wings will see the hawks or the sharks first
