this detroit team has to be the best ever..not for the long run but certainly for one or two years..do the stats support this statement????????

agreed that his ga is not his best work but when you have 3 and 4 goal leads you play to win. when he needs to hold the opponent to 1 or 2 he does and when he doesn't he won't ..its hard to be razor sharp with the leads he enjoys..quite a different setting than when he HAD to hold the other team to 1 or 2 goals because buffalo couldn't score..i love your play at 4/1 for the cup..i think its a lock

they have great skill, we shall see if they possess the toughness and can stay healthy enought to get through the playoffs. let's not forget this is a long season. they probably do have more skill than most teams ever assembled, whether that translates into an automatic stanley cup is another matter.......

hhhhhhmmm

hhhhhhmmm

you guys are talking about this years Detroit team right? Because last I checked they haven't WON anything....they certainly haven't put together a string of championship hockey the likes of Montreal or Edmonton have in the past.....and if your are simply talking of one year wonders I would be hard pressed to see a better team than Calgary was for one year the last time they hoisted Lord Stanley's Cup....I agree that Detroit has many name players at present, but lack of a cup makes the question somewhat moot. IMO

Won a lot of games so far, but I agree...They don't give you the Cup for winning the most games through January 21st. I really think they will have trouble in the playoffs because of so many of their older players playing in both the All Star game and the Olympics. Just my .02
