Detroit at Dallas

Detroit took care of business, as predicted, in games one and two. Now the linesmakers and-or the public seem to think that Dallas has about an equal shot at winning here at home. We disagree. Detroit is much better, and on a mission. Let's not forget that Dallas had to pull a couple of upsets to even get here. Detroit is just a lot better team. In games one and two, the Red Wings outshot the Stars 65-39! They have a better road record than Dallas' home record. On the season the Wings allowed just 2.3 goals per game on the road and in the playoffs they have been nearly impenatrable (1.9 goals per game allowed overall). Dallas is expected to perform better at home, and likely they will, but how much better? Their offense has completely stalled, averaging just 1.4 goals per game over their last five. Detroit is 48-15 this season coming off a win and 12-3 on the road after having won 3+ straight games. At this price, we love the Wings.
