Almost proven right, but then the Canes decided they didn't want this game, either, after getting up 4-1. Yes, Detroit's good and Carolina not so much, but could they have folded their tent any faster or easier?
I'm pretty much of the opinion that the only guy I want back on defense next year is Faulk. Everyone else has been wretched for much of the season. Gleason got a new deal, but he's not played consistently well since the Olympic year, Pitkanen is a fast-skating, no-shooting, no-hitting mystery (he comes back and we've given up 11 goals in those three games...), Allen's gritty, but average, Harrison seems to have regressed in recent weeks after a very strong start, and McBain is confounding in how he's moved from potential first-liner to "can we offer that potential as trade bait to anyone?"
