In a way the Detroit Red Wings have one of the toughest jobs in hockey this coming season – defending the Stanley Cup. Detroit was the last team to win back to back championships (in ‘97 and ‘98) and is considered a favorite to repeat in ‘08-’09 – which is saying a lot in an era where repeats are rare and more often than not a team wins the Cup and finds their roster cracked open before the start of the next season, the pieces of their Stanley Cup puzzle scattered into free agency, priced out of the team’s salary cap allowances after having proven their worth all the way to the ultimate prize.

Bringing the Stanley cup is a joy few people can feel, think about it coaches, gms and owners demand many things from a star player like playing 82 games, scoring over 70 points, and having a great plus minus average, and that’s without playoffs taken into account. I have no doubt in my mind it’s a challenge few are up to, after all its way more difficult than winning the Superbowl, sorry NFL fans, and I’m certain one of the keys to do it is to continue with that DESIRE TO WIN NO MATTER WHAT.

Could Andrew Raycroft leave the Maple Leafs this off-season? Is Glen Metropolit talking contract with the Bruins? Are the Red Wings close to re-signing Dan Cleary? Do the Red Wings want to bring back Andreas Lilja?
