There are too many to mention. Ah, they score tons, don't give up many, their special teams are great, they have one of the best defencemen/players in the game in Nicklas Lidstrom, have lots of experience, are well coached, good home and away. You get the idea. Until they were injured later in the season, the Red Wings for most of the season were far and away the best team in the league. They also managed to shake a few monkeys off their backs last spring, so they have playoff success and hunger to build on.
Nashville Predators

What a success story they have been. After losing so much talent in the past year, they still found a way to battle back and get into the playoffs, finishing 5-1 after losing five straight and appearing dead. They have two options in goal, which helps, and J.P. Dumont was very good all year along with Jason Arnott and young Alex Radulov. Theirs is a very well-coached team. On the back end, Shea Weber is very good. Their penalty killing was strong all year.
