All of a sudden the Wings don't seem as deep on "D" anymore.

Uh oh, the predicted downfall has started.

This definitely hurts. But we can't say this will completely ruin their Cup chances. After all, they didn't have Hatcher last year, so why can't they make the playoffs without him? If he does make it back for the Playoffs, he could be major impact for the Wings.

Of course theyll make the playoffs, but this definately hurts. Its still the Senators, Wings, Avs up top anyway, but still, don't sleep on the Canucks. They could make a run.
