Taelin Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 It can go either way, but I'm betting it'll go the distance. Would be happy for Nashville if they win, but I'm also scared of seeing them later in the playoffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Vietnam Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Nashville is just too good. They're the one team that scares me the most and as good as Detroit is this year, Nashville's defense and goaltending is on another level. Detroit will need to steal two games in Nashville if they are to move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhinogator Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Detroit in 7. Experience will help them along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yogolol Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 If Detroit can split the first 2 games at Nashville I say Detroit wins in 6 or 7, Detroit needs to win one of those first road games to build up their road confidence because the regular season road record for Detroit is mediocre and Nashville can be a tough building to play in.

Amish Rake Fighter Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I can't figure this one out, on one hand, Nashville has upgraded significantly, they finally have 2 good scoring lines but Detroit is still Detroit. I think this one's going 7 with a slight edge to Detroit because of their experience and top end talent and Rinne hasn't looked like Rinne lately, he has given up 4 or more goals 5 times in the last month or so.

D-Money Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I say Nashville in 7, but it could go either way. It's gonna be a GREAT series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PredsFanFromLa Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 5 reasons to fear the Predators There are plenty of reasons for the Red Wings to be concerned as they enter the NHL postseason, most notably their opponent. The Wings, seeded fifth in the Western Conference, take on the fourth-seeded Predators. Here is a look at a few of the challenges the Predators will pose: Rinne among the elite Pekka Rinne could play small forward in the NBA at 6-foot-5 and 205 pounds. Most tall goaltenders don't move in the crease well, but Rinne dispels that myth. "With his size, his ability to move, and the way he can play pucks behind the net, it's pretty impressive,"Red Wings D Niklas Kronwall said. "He's been pretty amazing." Powerful power play The Predators had the No. 1 power play in the league with a 21.6 percent success rate. It doesn't hurt to have D Shea Weber on the point. "He has a bomb," Red Wings D Niklas Kronwall said of Weber's shot. But there are several other threats — Alex Radulov , Martin Erat , Patrick Hornqvist and David Legwand , among others Defense suits Weber-Suter Shea Weber and Ryan Suter is arguably the best defensive pairing in the NHL. And they're on the ice a lot. "They play a lot of minutes, that's one of their strengths," Red Wings F Henrik Zetterberg said. "At the same time you can't let them off the hook. You have to be on them and be physical every chance you get against them." Weber is the Norris Trophy favorite, and Suter could be a finalist. Radulov packs punch Alex Radulov left for Russia several seasons ago in a contract dispute, but returned after the trade deadline this season, once his Russian contract expired. Radulov had seven points (three goals) in nine games. "He has a lot of skill and he plays with a lot of energy," Red Wings F Jiri Hudler said Home sweet home The Predators are the only team in the NHL to post at least 23 home victories seven consecutive seasons. They won 26 this season and ended on a 21-5-2 run. "It's a loud building and lot of fun to play in," Red Wings D Niklas Kronwall said. "They feed off that crowd. The first 10 minutes are always important."
