The
Red Wings have the advantage on paper.
Gordie Howe is the best player in the series, and

Red Wings are not young by any means, while the
Bruins have a very young nucleus.
Detroit is experienced, while
Boston is not. The
Bruins should have the goaltending advantage, but
Seth Martin has had an excellent season in Detroit...
