Anaheim may have the #8 seed tag, but the Ducks came in to the playoffs as one of the hottest teams having won nine of the last dozen regular season games. Off that momentum, Anaheim disposed of the President Trophey winners San Jose and now head back to Disney having wrestled the advantage away from MoTowns Wings. The Ducks deserved to at least split the series in Detroit and given just a little fortune, could easily have grabbed the brace.

While Anaheim were battling with San Jose, Detroit were sitting at home having swept Columbus and all that was coming out of the motor city was how much they wanted the Ducks to win because that gave the Wings home ice advantage throughout the playoffs. Talk about ‘counting one’s chickens before they hatch’. Detroit may not have given the Ducks the respect they deserved and were looking well to far ahead. Well they better take notice now.

The last time the Wings were tied 1-1 in a postseason series, they went on to lose – their opponent on that occassion were these Ducks.

Anaheim are 12-4 at home in May and 11-4-1 at home against Detroit.
