from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
For the most part, these teams can match each other in a lot of categories, but the Wings have large advantages in two areas.
First, they have all kinds of experience. Indeed, it’s surprising in this era of constant personnel turnover that Detroit still has eight players from its 2002 Cup-winning roster, although Hasek and Darren McCarty went away and came back in the interim. Steve Yzerman was the captain of that team and he’s now in the Detroit front office, which is led by GM Ken Holland and includes many of the same suits and bird dogs.
These people know how to win and have done it together.
Second, well, it’s simply the presence of Lidstrom, hockey’s premier defenceman.
