I think it's the combination that gets them: fast AND physical. The Flames are certainly that and though I missed the Canucks and Oilers games, I know they are more so than the Wings are. That has always been their problem and at times they have been able to overcome that through skill and experience. Not sure if they have what it will take this time around though. Time will tell. The Preds will not be the pushover team they have been, for sure. We got a peek at that last season in a few of those games (even before the playoffs) and now they're ready to play.

Which gives me a great deal of pause about Nashville, very fast and very physical.

I'd usually catch something like that, but I haven't been watching Wings games as much lately so it didn't seem as obviously wrong as it should've. Thanks for the correction.

I thought I'd been in some kind of serious denial! Wait, surely you mean 10 straight games giving up a power play goal, not short-handed…for a second there you scared me!
