[JaegerDice]

Detroit in 6.

 

[LightningStorm]

This is definitely the most unusual matchup for me. I think Detroit is the better team, yet I think Anaheim would win based on how these teams matched up.

 

[pegcity]

This was hard

 

[The Red Line]

This is definitely the most unusual matchup for me. I think Detroit is the better team, yet I think Anaheim would win based on how these teams matched up.

I see what you're saying but a worse Detroit went the distance with Anaheim in 07 in a very tight series. Then they made some pretty major upgrades in the off-season and were significantly better both on paper and in the standings the next year.

 

[Vakarte]

Detroit in 5

I see what you're saying but a worse Detroit went the distance with Anaheim in 07 in a very tight series. Then they made some pretty major upgrades in the off-season and were significantly better both on paper and in the standings the next year.

And beat them the following season.

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

Anaheim coming back - they were down to 20% when I checked yesterday. Up to 35% now

 

[Tufted Titmouse]

1 more day until it closes. Anaheim climbing back into striking distance this weekend.

 

[banks]

Voted Anaheim.

If there's a team out there that could stop prime Dats/Zetterberg, it's the one with prime Pronger, Niedermayer, and Giguere.

 

[Master P]

Ducks would bully them again.

Ducks in 6

 

[Johnny Tomala]

Ducks in 7. That team would find a way and I'm a Red Wings fan.
