The Face Of The Red Wings

from TSN,
If you were asked to name the face of the Detroit Red Wings, who would it be?
Odds are you would think of a player like Pavel Datsyuk, who led the team with 97 points this season, or Nicklas Lidstrom, the veteran defenceman and four-time Stanley Cup champion who has come to represent the unflappable consistency of the fabled organization. Many hockey fans might name Henrik Zetterberg, Marian Hossa or Johan “Mule” Franzen as the core member of a team that is the closest thing the NHL has to a dynasty.
Yet with the exception of one goal from Franzen in Game 1, it has not been the Wings’ biggest names who are putting pucks in the back of the net in this Stanley Cup final.

Is that supposed to be “nuances”?
Maybe it’s a Canadien thing. Like when they say back bacon they’re talking about ham… ??

Actually, when Americans say back bacon, or Canadian bacon, they’re talking about ham.
When WE say back bacon, we’re talking about back bacon. Not ham.

I’m proud of the fact that the Wings don’t have one face of the club. They are a team. Remarkable concept, eh?

they can take advantage of a few “nuisances” of their own that they know about in familiar territory.
By nuisances, do they mean the glory holes in the boards that Gary and Pierre McGuire has specially made? Just guessin’.

And I think there is more than just one face of the team - it depends on who a fan’s favorite player is who they think of. To expect an entire team to have only one “face” for all of the fans is silly.

Yeah, and to expect an entire league to have only one “face” for all fans is even sillier.

The face of the Detroit Red Wings is the logo, the Winged Wheel. It means a lot more than a pretty face plastered all over the place.
Lets Go Red Wings!!!!!
