Main reason: weak goaltending!
I would think that each of the other 7 Western Conference teams that qualify for this yeat's postseason will be stronger in nets and at least five of them will be considered much stronger.
San Jose, Calgary, Vancouver, Columbus and Chicago can all be considered to have much better netminding than Detroit.
The other two clubs that happen to round out the final cut, be it Edmonton, St. Louis, Nashville or Minnesota are also stronger between the pipes than the Wings as well. Chris Osgoode is quite simply inconsistent and his partner Ty Conklin certainly doesn't have the playoff experience.
Should be very good series value this NHL postseason wagering against the Red Wings.
