Wishful thinking, perhaps?

As convincing as the Detroit Red Wings have been throughout the 2007-08 NHL playoffs so far, there is a healthy amount of skepticism (or is it distaste?) that the Presidents' Trophy winner will be the last team standing.

By more than a 2-to-1 margin, participants in Hound Central 3.0's latest poll, which asked if Detroit would take home Lord Stanley's Cup, showed little faith that the Red Wings would, indeed, deliver the goods.

I guess we'll soon find out, won't we? Though I was one of the majority voters, I'm sensing that the Red Wings will, in fact, enjoy victory laps with the Cup held high.

Question: Will Detroit win the Cup?

No: 21 out of 31 votes cast (67.7 percent)
Yes: 10 out of 31 (32.3 percent)
