So, Hossa, Zetterberg, Rafalski, Franzen, they're not going to have a good series? Sure, missing the best defenseman I've seen in my lifetime as well as one of the top 5 forwards in the league doesn't help the Wings, but it's not like they're lost without them. Take away the Penguins' top 2 players, and they don't stand a chance, but the Red Wings aren't like that.
I think that Lidstrom on one leg and Datsyuk not being there might make the series more even. I just dont see the Penguins as nearly as good a team as the Red Wings are.
