It is a good effort put in and a very good product that they are delivering.
There it is again - it's the Red Wings, so...

I expect that from fans - I expect a little more analysis from experts.

Re 'better roster': let's see you back that up - their roster looks paper thin to me. All anyone seems to be able to come up with is: Datsyuk and Zetterberg.

Sorry, but in the NHL - and especially in the West where at least 12 teams are in contention for the playoffs, 2 players and a coach and a GM doesn't cut it.

That's like saying: Perry, Getzlaf and Ryan. Sure, arguably the best line in hockey - but how's that been working out for them lately?
