There isn't much of an advantage at all to picking 18th vs picking 27-30th
The last time we picked that high we got Jakub Kindl. In the next 15 or so picks after him, we missed out on Tuuka Rask, T.J. Oshie, Andrew Cogliano, Matt Niskanen, Steve Downie, James Neal and Marc Edouard Vlasic.
I'll take the playoff run over the draft slot any day.

Anyone hear about Mayers getting fined for shooting pucks into Detroit's net during the warmup? Stay classy Chitown. Stay classy...
Fast start tonight is a must. Wings need to seize control early, and play their puck possession game.
Now time to go golfing and have a few breakfast beers to start this day off right. LGRW
I hope this ********* gets Kronwalled.
Mayers hasn't played in over a month so unless Kronner is going to jump him in the parking lot I don't think it's going to happen.

How is it over if we lose tonight? Game 7s are such tossups that you can hardly ever predict what will happen. If anything, being the underdog can be beneficial. Closing this out tonight is certainly ideal, but not the end of the world.
agreed. wings have already shown they can win a game 7 on the road against anaheim. if it does go to game 7, all the pressure shifts to the hawks
No it doesn't.
No? You think the Wings are under more pressure than the Hawks?
If the Wings lose this series after being up 3-1. Heads should roll.
No it doesn't.
yes it does. wings are playing with house money and have been since they made the playoffs.
hell, most people didn't even think they would make the playoffs. for the hawks, it's cup or bust
