Western Conference Finals: Detroit Red Wings vs Anaheim Ducks  

After a stellar turnaround in their series with the Sharks, the Wings are now in the Western Conference Finals for the first time since 2002.

The Wings had a great defensive series with the Sharks, allowing only 7 goals in 6 games.

Once again, the Wings are being picked to lose this series. The 5/6 "experts" at ESPN pick the Ducks to win. Not that that means anything at all...all 6 "experts" picked the Sharks to advance past the Wings. (Barry Melrose has yet to pick the Wings once this playoff season. Thanks Barry for not jinxing us like you have in the past!)
