Leelanau Sports Guy’s World

Barry Melrose was on the ESPN Radio’s The Sports Bash yesterday and was talking about the Western Conference. He likes Calgary and L.A. to battle it out for the Western Conference crown and thinks Detroit is old but will definitely make the playoffs.

My View: Detroit is old, but they will get plenty of chances to rest and be healthy heading into the playoffs because of the weak Central Division. Nashville is turning out to be pretty good and will give Detroit a good battle for the division crown. Detroit’s biggest question mark might be goaltending, with Manny and Ozzie both struggling at times right now.
