With their 4-3 regulation win over the Chicago Blackhawks at United Center, Detroit successfully stopped the defending Stanley Cup champs from qualifying for the playoffs — at least for now. The Hawks loss opens the door for the No. 9 seeded Dallas Stars to leap over that bold line and into No. 8 over Chicago, should they earn two points in regulation or overtime against the Minnesota Wild later Sunday.

Not the surest way to form an opinion, but it’s all I’ve got!
Oh – and the “NHL equivalency” do-hickey at the ends are just the most common NHL player with which they are associated style-wise and most likely an absolute peak of what they can accomplish.
