from Larry Wigge of NHL.com,
We see the Detroit Red Wings give up five, eight and eight goals on successive Saturdays in late February and March and we’re certain that long run to the Stanley Cup last spring can’t possibly be repeated, right? For me, the analytical world we live in today has gone too close to the edge of negativity for my liking (and for the record the Red Wings were 10-1-1 in their first 12 Saturday games this season).
Don’t the Red Wings still have Nicklas Lidstrom and Brian Rafalski and Niklas Kronwall and Brad Stuart on defense? Isn’t that still Pavel Datsyuk, Henrik Zetterberg, Johan Franzen, Tomas Holmstrom and Dan Cleary up front? And isn’t it good enough that the Wings added Marian Hossa to their lineup for a shot at repeating?
Did I forget something? Oh yeah. the goaltending. But aren’t you the same fans that said the Red Wings could win in spite of having Chris Osgood in goal? In 1998? And again last spring?
read on and numerous NHL topics…
