Detroit are missing half of their team, and that in itself gives these odds a nice little value. Guests are coming to this game after defeating Calgary, but that was a stretch, a win barely gotten against a very weak opponent, and you shouldn't be fooled by it. Before that, Detroit have six consecutive defeats, and they didn't manage to score over two goals in the regular time in the last seven games, which tells you everything about their crisis. They're missing their captain and the most productive player Zetterberg, the first goalie Howard, and also a top forward Franzen. They're also missing four other top ten forwards when it comes to points, and I expect bad Detroit's game to continue because something like that can hardly be recovered from, and the results confirm that. Leafs come into this game with a win that, according to Lupul's statement, picked them up and started a good and positive mood, so I believe they can use Detroit's problems in front of their own fans. They've showed their strength in Chicago recently, they showed character in the last game, and I believe they can turn their good mood into a win today, because they are a lot better than Detroit with all the absences that trouble them. I'm convinced they have a lot more quality, and are a lot closer to winning than the guests are.
