The Great Debate: Are the Red Wings Manipulating the System?

Analyze This: Jose Theodore Stumbles, Wings Take Control
Most analysts, including myself, called for a long, hard fought series against the Colorado Avalanche and the Detroit Red Wings. Well, a hard fought first round against the Wild seems to be taking its toll on the Avalanche, causing a major meltdown. What happened? Peter Forsberg, Wojtek Wolski, and Scott Hannan are [...]
