Today's President's Day and it's only fitting that the team most likely to win the President's Trophy tops my list of NHL teams this week. I mean, you can't really argue with Detroit. Ever.
1. Detroit Red Wings - The Wings reportedly thought about losing at home, but they won't until Nicklas Lidstrom retires. Whoa boy...
2. Vancouver Canucks - They were recently voted the most overrated team by the league's players, including Roberto Luongo.
3. New York Rangers - Ranger fans were chanting "we don't want you!" at Rick Nash last night. It's okay, they're still learning what it's like to win.
4. Nashville Predators - Something that literally just occured to me: if Rick Nash went to the Preds, would they name the city after him? Nash-ville?
5. New Jersey Devils - Something that must be considered: is Martin Brodeur just as cool of an old guy as Lidstrom and Selanne?
6. St. Louis Blues - They won a game via shutout recently allowing just 13 shots on goal. Then again, that's a lot of shots for Minnesota in one game.
7. Pittsburgh Penguins - Evgeni Malkin is not one of the three stars of the week. It's panic time in Pittsburgh.
8. Boston Bruins - They got shut out by Niklas Backstrom yesterday, but that's okay because they won't run into any other good goalies in the playoffs.
