From Ken Campbell at The Hockey News,
The Red Wings would not allow the powerful Penguins to unleash their offensive prowess even once, but what makes this so great for hockey was the Wings never collapsed into the trap, even when they led by a goal late in a game. The Penguins didn’t get any shots because they couldn’t touch the puck.
Clearly, these Red Wings are not the Stanley Cup posers the Tampa Bay Lightning and Carolina Hurricanes were. Their history suggests they’ll at least be a serious contender every year, but their future says it with a great, big exclamation mark.

“I’m not worried about who we’ll pick in the first round,” Holland said. “I can’t wait to see who we pick in the sixth.”
How hilarious is that? If Ken Holland writes a book about gm-ing, it should be entitled “How to Win Stanley Cups with Reclamation Projects and Sixth-Round Draft Picks.”
