Red Wings play the Chicago Blackhawks for first time,in 2011-2012 season,on Friday... i have to admit that they are a good team,but losing to Los Angeles Kings,and not scoring a goal may tell me something that Chicago may be become fatter,on inferior teams,and the Red Wings may clip the Blackhawks,by playing Red Wings' defense around their net,and let Jimmy Howard do his usual good work...
however,their overall offense may be stronger,in their top two lines,but their back end(third,and fourth line)may be weaker overall than the Red Wings,and i have to give the overall goaltending edge to the Red Wings,but Ty Conklin(Red Wings' second goaltender)has not had many games of game action,because Jimmy Howard has been so very good...
Chicago has slightly more firepower,but if the Red Wings play defense the way that they can,that will neutralize that edge,but the Blackhawks overall team speed does worry me,but again Howard,and Conklin should neutralize it to a great whisper,and the Red Wings' defense,which overall is superior to the Blackhawks,except for defenseman Duncan Keith,who may be one of the best defensemen,in NHL,behind the Red Wings' Nicklas Lidstrom,and the Nashville Predators' Shea Weber...
the reason that i rank him third is that Lidstrom makes very few mistakes,and has seven Norris Trophies,and Weber is basically a carbon copy of Lidstrom,and has a 100+mph cannon of a slap shot,but Keith has better teammates,than Weber,overall,so it will be an interesting series of six games,this season,starting Friday
