We will disagree.

As I said last time we had this discussion, deep teams still win when players get injured as other players step up. That didnt happen. There is no point in me linking stats pages they are easily found. As a side note I believe the Wings are healthy so I suppose we will see a much improved effort. As others have said they likely will make the playoffs, but as I also pointed out a few months ago to you it will be a 7 or 8 seed no higher. I still believe there is a possibility they will miss it also. It really comes down to a few factors.

I know one thing my other team the Leafs should be getting the #1 pick in the draft. Woooot!

OOO nice win in OT by the Hawks. LA gave the puck away 2x on bad passes which resulted in goals in under 5 seconds. That was fugly.

Winning fugly works for me.

Here's the thing with deep teams losing players to injury and still winning. They had 7-8 players out at 1 time. I cannot find any NHL team that can have that many players out and still win on a consistent level. All while having a rookie goalie playing.
