Not all is lost

So the Wings are out. But, hey, there's still plenty to be happy about.

Like:

1. The Chicago Blackhawks are out.

2. The Pittsburgh Penguins are out.

3. The Yzerman-led Lightning are still in.

4. The Sharks were forced into by far the shortest amount of rest time heading into the upcoming round.

5. Someone other than Niklas Kronwall was called "gutless" (Patrick Marleau)

6. We got to see Kris Draper's beard again.

7. Justin Verlander is incredible.

8. Justin Verlander's fastball is incredible.

9. Justin Verlander's other pitches are incredible.

10. Justin Verlander's beard is incredible.

11. Sidney Crosby is NOT an MVP finalist.

12. Neither are any Penguins, Blackhawks, or Sharks.

13. Pavel Datsyuk was actually talked about on Versus.

14. The Lions (hopefully) drafted very well.

15. Nicklas Lidstrom is a Norris Trophy finalist.

16. Red Wings players other than Datsyuk were actually talked about on Versus.

17. Justin Verlander's cleats are incredi... never mind.

Hard not to praise Verlander. Dude's been scary good so far. All of his starts this year are quality starts. And he almost pitched back-to-back no-hitters.
