The year the goals stayed

This season was the first in recent memory where scoring didn't dip significantly in the postseason:

	Season	Playoffs	Diff	Pct
2000-01	5.510	4.802	-0.708	-12.85%
2001-02	5.240	4.767	-0.473	-9.03%
2002-03	5.310	4.708	-0.602	-11.34%
2003-04	5.137	4.404	-0.733	-14.26%
2005-06	6.051	5.651	-0.400	-6.62%
2006-07	5.760	4.951	-0.809	-14.05%
2007-08	5.440	5.365	-0.075	-1.38%

But before you credit the Red Wings for this revival, note that, in games Detroit played in these playoffs, the average goals per game was just 5.13, something that's attributable to the team's incredible 1.86 goals against average.
