Jeremy: I truly feel that the Red Wings might get bounced very quickly and/or swept. The goaltending is so Mish Mash right now and the announcement of Datsyuk leaving after this season I think will deflate the Wings rather than bolster them this postseason. I hope I'm wrong for the sake of my friend, Doctor Detroit, but I just have a gut feeling the Wings are set for an unceremoniously early exit.
Marya: It was very difficult to pick against the Wild in their series and prevent their annual exit at the hands of Chicago, but the injury to Zach Parise will do them in.
