from Kevin Allen of USA TODAY,
With attention usually directed to the Detroit Red Wings’ reputation as the NHL’s top puck possession team, it’s overlooked that the true uniqueness of this team is that its best scorers are also its best checkers.
The team’s two most dangerous offensive players, Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg, are among the three finalists for the Selke Trophy, the award given annually to the NHL’s top defensive forward.

Kukla’s Korner is always a free service for readers, but it costs some money to maintain. If you’re ever in a position to donate a few dollars to help out, we’d be very appreciative.

It’s a nice feeling for Babcock knowing this line can make a difference either way. Most teams hope their checking lines shut down the oppositions big guns, and considers any offensive production a bonus.
This line make all the other lines better since they’re awarded the luxury of facing lesser opponents (on average).
