I basically just don't want the Wings to face a West Coast team in the first round, so Dallas or Minnesota would be ideal as far as that consideration goes. Still, I try not to hope for a certain matchup because the "ideal" one often ends up turning out bad. Really, I think Babcock's right, there aren't any wholly ideal first round opponents, but there <em>are</em> things to be said about a couple. Just as long as we don't get that one team in California... Justin,

We usually play well against the Stars and I can't remember the last time they beat us. Not to mention their recent history of losing early as well. I wish we could play Dallas in the first round.
