Boston went 1-3 against Detroit this season, so you never know. We might see some more of this:

I just can't see Jimmy Howard outplaying Tuukka Rask.

this is a difficult one for me. Son loves the RedWings. I hate Alfredsson and Bertuzzi. So I'm going with Boston. Which is also not a popular choice :-\

Detroit's been known to surprise, but, I have a hard time seeing them get past the Bruins. This will be a close one, though. Boston in 7 (with a couple multiple OT games).
My heart tells me the Wings makes a series out of this and lose in 7, but my head says Boston just plays on another level and wins in 5. I'll go with my head.

Datsyuk with a ridiculous goal late and Wings win 1-0. Also Lucic is a dirtbag.

Detroit is a tough team to beat in a playoff series.
For most of the season I've been suspecting that, if they make it and are healthy, whoever draws them 1st round will be getting a nightmare opponent.
I couldn't pick them to beat Boston though.
Very surprised to find out they won game 1.

Did the same thing to Emelin a few weeks ago:
Not as bad, but still the idea was there. I'll build a statue for the first guy to knock him out. Not sure that'll ever happen though unfortunately.

Never liked Lucic, never will.
Won't be surprised if Detroit takes this series. It could go either way.

Oh how I love to see the wings won last night.. Living in Boston, Bruin fans will see that footage ans still say "what did he do wrong" Lucic is so cheap. He always acts like no one is allowed to hit him. Cant stand him or many others on that team.. Only one win but glad to see it

I believe he denied doing that and proceeded to call Emelin a "chicken" for hitting him or something.
Then you have the always wonderful Boston media: http://www.boston.com/sports/hockey/bruins/extras/bruins_blog/2014/04/in_defense_of_lucics_cheap_shot_-_welcome_to_playoff_hockey.html
Sorry, "welcome to playoff hockey" is not an excuse. There is obviously going to be some extra physical play in the playoffs, but defending a blantant spear to the groin as acceptable playoff hockey behaviour is as extreme as ignorance gets.
Okay, so maybe I am spouting hyperbole, but I can't stand how some people hide behind some code that is so nebulous that it doesn't even really exist.
Oh, and also, for whatever reason, that site loads up temporarily but then disappears on me, so I only got to read the first few lines of the article. So if the article content is different from the title, I apologize.

Brutual. So if Dubinsky spears Crosby in the groin like that tonight can he just write a $5000 cheque after the game?
