Here is the preview from Andrew at Nightmare on Helm Street:
Looking for a well thought out and researched preview for tonight's game? Better look somewhere else. Here's how we break down games over at Nightmare on Helm Street...we like to call it our "Pointless Previews". Because honestly...what do they accomplish?
Category #1: Twins
Vancouver has...
The Sedin Twins. Okay, they get bonus points for being actually twins. But does the actual split egg make them the better of the twins? Let's go to the stats:
Danny has 246-394-640 in 778 games played
Henrik has 156-502-658 in 801 games played
Henrik has won the Art Ross and the Hart last season, and Danny-boy might do exactly the same this year.
Detroit has...
The Euro Twins. Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg are not related, not even from the same country...but these two have been making sweet, sweet magic for years and play like they could be brothers.
Pavel has 220-429-649 in 658 games played
Hank has 227-321-548 in 579 games played
Zetterberg won the Conn Smythe in 2008. Pavel Datsyuk has won the following: Lady Byng Memorial Trophy 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, Frank J. Selke Trophy - 2008, 2009, 2010, and the Plus-Minus Award in 2008.
Winner: DETROIT - points per game and awards? This is no contest...sorry, folks.
Category #2: Todd Bertuzzi
Vancouver has...
558 games with Dirty Bert in which he scored 188 goals, 261 assists for 449 points and broke one neck.
Detroit has...
163 games with Dirty Bert in which he has scored 34 goals, 53 assists for 87 points and has broken countless hearts.
Winner: VANCOUVER - Bertuzzi was most definitely in his prime playing with Naslund in Vancouver.
Category #3: First Image result for Team Name + girl
Vancouver has...
Detroit has...
Winner: VANCOUVER - sure, Detroit's search brought us Kristen Bell (a Wings fan)...but in all fairness, she's not really wearing that Winged Wheel and I'm still mad at her for that Jamie Lee Curtis movie from a few months back...gotta give this one to the Nucks.
Category #4: Stanley Cup Championships
Vancouver has...**cough cough***
Detroit has... 12 (and four in my lifetime)
Winner: DETROIT -...obviously!
Tie Breaker: Mascot
Vancouver has...
Fin the Whale - an anthropomorphic orca with a smile.
Detroit has...
No official mascot...because we're not gimmicky like that.
Overall Winner: DETROIT
All of this adds up to my total prediction which is this...
Wings win 4-1.
