Who Would Have Thought...

I watched some of the Buffalo-Toronto game tonight, which Versus was broadcasting. I was surprised that the talking heads actually said that Detroit can't be ruled out of anything, just because of where they are in the standings at this time. Faint praise, but praise nonetheless. And of course, one of the idiots--can't remember which one--said Detroit is in the same position Pittsburgh was last year when Gonchar was injured and "look how well THEY did." Do these people realize just how stupid they sound? Or do they just not care?
