yes they will. the redwings have more depth than any team in the playoffs. they have the experience with shanahan and yzerman not to mention the drive and skill of datsuk and zetterberg. legace has the number 2 ga(goals against) average in the nhl not to mention ozzy. their defense is one of the best with lindstrom and maltby and forechecking with draper and mowers.

anything is possible.  realisticly, no.  they need a superstar player.  they lack discipline.  it takes a good few years before a team makes the playoffs.  it needs good coaching.  the wings were not a good team overnight.  it took many seasons before they got to number one and made the playoffs and won three cups.

It's possible, but it will be hard, since Roloson was a huge part of the team's success.  It depends on how well the rest of the team plays, and how ell (or poorly) the 'Canes play.

Edmonton has found their scoring touch (and not a minute too soon).  They rattled off 5 unanswered goals last night to even up the series.  The momentum has definitely shifted.  The series is far from over, however.  The Oilers still have to go into SJ and take one in their building (no easy task).  I say it goes to seven games but the Sharks fall to the Albertans.\n\n*I joined everyone else in saying that Roloson was not the guy to carry the Oilers deep into the play-offs.  I'm a believer now!*

They'll go past the first round of the playoffs then lost in the 2nd round. They've got a bright future ahead though.  With two great goalies (if they keep them both), they'd be a threat for a few years. GO HABS.

I think the oilers will clench Lord Stanley... but I don't think a win tonight will be good for them. Their days off  will get them out of the fighting mood. Look what hap pend to the ducks. They knocked out Colorado in 4, and now they are being knocked out in four. They had their rest, but during their rest, they lost their game. I want this series to go either 5 or 6 games. Of course with an Edmonton win. Go EDMONTON GO!!!

THEY WILL MAKE THE PLAYOFFS BUT THEY WON WIN IT ALL.  THE BRAVES WILL NOT WIN THE DIVISION FOR THE 15TH TIME...I THINK THE METS HAVE TO MANY BULLPEN AND STARTER PROBLEMS.

If you mean ever, I think that they could.  They have a pretty good nucleus of young players.  If you mean this year...they will have trouble making the playoffs.

i can tell you not too many teams can dig themselves out of a hole that big.  carolina will win.  it's over for edmonton.  they knocked off some great teams this season.  it won't be a total loss for them.

Sure they can. Both teams are at the top of there divions. Ottawa has the stars, Buffalo plays hard. Buffalo wins 6-2.

I would say it's highly unlikely, for the same reason Toronto (despite all their offseason moves) will have trouble reaching the post-season. When you play 38 games a year against two tough divisional foes (St Louis and Houston), it's an uphill battle. Plus, they haven't really added any talent to rotation other than Howry, a career .500 pitcher.

They'll make the playoffs and probably lose first round. But coming off 2 consecutive last place seasons thats a great jump start for the coming years.  With Evgeni Malkin, Jordan Staal, of course Sidney Crosby and Marc Andre Fluery in net this team is loaded with young, super talented 1st round draft picks and will only improve with the coming years.  Also with veterans like Mark Recchi,  Johan LeClair and Sergi Gonchar it always help to have the veteran experience. \n\nThe Biggest knock on them as has been for the last couple years is there lack of overall defense but that something they can surely improve on with a good trade or something.  Also there in a division that doesnt really have a great stand out team so I think the future is quite bright for the Pens.

It is the Stanley Cup so anything can happen, but unfortunately for Oiler fans, time has already ran out. The Hurricanes are on a roll. Plus not only has Edmonton lost their starting goalie, that 3-goal lead they blew has sucked the life out of them. They have to play desperate hockey and I see no signs of that yet. So realistically I can't see them winning even another game. No chance whatsoever of winning Lord Stanley's coveted cup. Watch and learn!

Yes they will. And they will proceed to the second round alongside Brazil. Why? GUS HIDDINK!!!

I actually think so. They've done some really good moves to bolster the team - the trade for Thornton being paramount. The main reason isn't so much based on the strengths of their own team (even though they showed some stamina against the Preds tonight and got the OT win) as other teams above them in the West right now faultering. I predict Anaheim and Colorado out of the playoffs in 15-16 games time and the Sharks sneaking into that 8th spot.
