hey you stole my 3-2 prediction.


anyway really looking forward to this one, this is a long overdue playoff series.

I liked this line in the Vancouver Sun today.. "The Canucks and Wings, who meet Wednesday night at Rogers Arena, are almost equals now except, of course, for Detroit's four Cup victories between 1997-2008."
