Thanks for the info, ST. This is a tough draw for the Jackets but as you pointed out, if they gained another point, they wouldnt be here. Detroit has been stumbling of late and if the Jackets put it together, they could pose a problem for the Evil Empire.. I dont know, my head tells me this is a quick series..

At first I thought uh oh when I saw Detroit, and it still is an uh oh, but not too long ago I believe Edmonton was the no. 8 seed and beat no.1 seed Detroit in '06 on the way to their miracle run to the Stanley Cup Finals, so there is hope. And if I recall in all these years of Detroit being a powerhouse, they have choked away a few series.

Sorry to say, but my Red Wings will decimate the Jackets.

My series preview should run on TCF tonight or early tomorrow.

In the meantime, listen to the Podcast of the Hockey Insider where we previewed all 8 playoff series. If you just want to hear the Jackets-Wings series, it's the first 15 minutes or so.
