How often have DET/SJ/CHI/VAN *ALL* missed the WC Semis?

I hope Phoenix makes the Cup finals. I'll go to those games.

If you do, you need to make a sign that somehow incorporates getting "Doaned". To get that on TV would be awesome.

no offense, but i hope they dont..

last thing the NHL needs is an NHL-owned team winning the cup

i agree w/ this.. the red wings aren't going anywhere.. i dont think the canucks are either.. the only team that could be 'changing the guard' is the sharks.. they could be in for some dramatic changes this offseason.. but i think their fans all want the team to have some dramatic changes

the canucks and wings will be right back in the thick of things next year and the hawks are still in it this year.. til their dead i wouldn't count them out, they're a very good team

That said, if the Wings lose Stuart and Lidstrom this offseason, and don't replace them with some strong acquisitions, Detroit is going to have a rough year...

Oh, I plan to.

It might make them easier to sell if they do win, though.

true.. maybe its just wings fans' confidence, but i feel like its been beaten in to my head that suter is going to detroit, so that'll replace some of what you lose in them

Oh, I plan to.

true, but i'm concerned with the.. message?.. it sends to fans.. hey look, a team we own and have a vested interest in doing well, won the cup.. we're not cheating though i promise

just for all the conspiracy theorists out there (i only buy into the pens slob fest one )

Unless something really obvious happens, there won't be conspiracy theories.

Well, there will be, but they won't stick.

The NHL can't make Mike Smith turn into a brick wall.

i guess that's true.. perhaps one of the benefits of having nobody watch a series that includes the coytoes?

for the good of the sale though i do hope they do well.. its about time that damn team sold

Not often enough. Let's hope this a new trend.
