They are one of the annoying playoff teams because the refs let them play "Calgary Hockey" (i.e. trapping, clutch and grab).

However with Bertuzzi and Calder this year, and a more reliable goaltending, they don't scare me any more than say..Nashville.

Last year they proved they can score in the playoffs, goaltending let them down. This year, they have to cup winning goalies, so It's going to be interesting.

Have to agree here, I think Calgray is a great team when playing on the same page but Detroit has way too much playoff exp this year and we have been stepping it up as of late. The 2 teams I don't want to face in the 1st round are the Ducks and Flames cause they both have our number come playoff time.

Just hope Hasek stays healthy *knock on wood*

The team that scares me the most is Vancouver, anyone else is fair game and as long as Hasek is healthy we should be good.

Vancouver doesnt scare me terribly. Luongo is sick, but after the Sedin twins they have nothing

If the Redwings are gonna lose 2 someone in the western playoffs, i'd rather it be by either the Flames or Oilers. Nobody else. But the Flames since they can't beat anyone right now to keep Colorado from being stubborn. I don't believe in the statement its not how you start but how you finish. If you start off winning you wouldn't be in this situation now. Besides they need 2 stay away from the playoffs this year. They ain't gonna do nothing this year anyway.
The last 3 weeks did they sell their souls to :devil:

or something?

They don't have much scoring depth but as the playoffs always show, hot goaltending will take you far. Vancouver won't score a ton of goals but if they play godd defence and Luongo get's hot then they are going to go far. I mean I didn't even think they would make the playoffs let alone win a division so I guess we'll see.
