Maybe it wasn’t Dave Lewis after all…

The Detriot Red Wings once again lost in the first round of the NHL playoffs after an incredible regular season. The Wings fell 4 games to 2 against the Edmonton Oilers and were eliminated from the Cup chase.
Lots of fans will point at Legace as the main reason as it seemed like he was unable to come up with the big save when needed. That might not be fair, but it’s the life of a goalie in Hockeytown. The offense can also share the blame as at times they struggled to score goals.
Wings fans also must wait about a week to hear Steve Yzerman’s decision and if he is returning for another season or not. I hope he does as he has shown he can still be the Wings best player as he arguably has been for the past two weeks.
As a bonus the Tigers now have one less team taking attention from them as they continue their great start!

Terrible performance by my beloved Red Wings. Noone played harder than Zetterberg. Once Yzerman retires, he should be the new captain.
Red Wings Happy with President’s Trophy

Well, it was bound to happen anyway, I just predicted the second round and not the first. The team is too old and it needs to do a major house cleaning and try and start developing a young core.
Hey, and by the way, congrats on the newest addition to the sportspig family my man! Sorry I missed the announcement, I have been cramming for Finals latlely and not blogging much. Congrats!
