Same with Sharks. 31-3-4 with coach change.

The Sharks are also doing remarkably well given how many people are injured.

They have been in the playoffs 57 times in the last 80 years. Mike Babcock is the only NHL coach to win 50 games three seasons in a row, and will soon make it four seasons, a record which will likely stand for many, many, years to come. They are also one of three teams to reach over 100 points in three consecutive seasons.

I'm sure there are one or two other records they've reached that I've forgotten.
So are you trying to say that the team didn't suck for a long time before this current run? I'm confused as to how what you are saying contradicts what I said. Making the playoffs in the early 90's was not hard. About 3/4 of teams got in. During the 70s and 80s, the team was bad. You can't argue that point. They were a bad team. Before the league expanded in 1967, they were good, but not amazing. Especially considering there were only 6 teams.

My point is that this era of complete Red Wings dominance goes back about 15 years and that's it. Before that the team has always been more or less average with the same ups and downs any sports franchise has. With a 20 year long down period right before the current one. It's not like the Wings have this amazing history of dominance that goes back 100 years.

Look, we all know the Wings are a good team... it's because of their twisted pact of evil with the dark prince of the underworld. The team and it's fans will get theirs when bell tolls and it's time for the Devil to collect his souls. An eternity of unfathomable suffering awaits for those who choose to align themselves with such unholy power.

The Red Wings are the most useless team EVER.

Can't you hold onto a mother****ing lead for the love of all that is good and holy? Why do you have to suck so completely hard in every conceivable way for **** sake.

Jesus.

From the highlights I saw, Nabokov was off his game last night (on the last Coyotes goal, he ended up completely out of position on his lateral move. Odd).

That's goooooood :-)

I think the Preds had a little more at stake than the Wings.

The Blues haven't won anything either, and they've been around a lot longer. Get in line.

I'm happy with just getting the President's Cup for this year. Stanley Cup will be cream.

You can keep your Disney On Ice.

No givebacks. Unless you want us to have them in the third round, which I would be fine with.

What the hell? How do the Sharks lose both games at home to start the series? Ugh, looks like the playoff choking continues.
