Ex greek , your comments prove how in-depth your hockey knowledge is. If I recall this past post-season Detroit was a number 2 seed that was ousted by a team that barely made the playoffs. In fact, within the last five years half of the #2 vs # 7 matchups went to the lower seeds.
I can't explain how much the team means to the city, the only way to describe it is for you to visit the city and feel it yourself.
This organization is always within the top in the league for attendence, corporate support and has by far the best scouting along with an excellent coaching staff. You wanna know why they choked in the playoffs? Maybe because most of their top players are all between 19-23 (havlat, hossa, phillips, rachunek, redden).
Oh yeah and Detroit they're a model franchise...let's go buy another stanley cup. Team trades away one of the greatest of all times for trying to start a players association.
