Detroit Red Wings information, The Red Wings are one of the original six NHL teams. They are one of the most successful franchises in all professional sports, winning eleven Stanley Cups in their history. Detroit has not missed the playoffs since the 1989-90 season, and has won their division 18 times.
The Red Wings last won the Stanley Cup in 2008 after defeating the Pittsburg Penguins in six games. They returned to the finals the following year, but it was Pittsburgh’s turn to claim the cup after a hard fought seven game series.

They will still rely on goalie Chris Osgood with Nicklas Lidstrom and Niklas Kronwall on defense, while Henrik Zetterberg, Tomas Holmstrom, Kris Draper, and Johan Franzen control the offensive zone. Look for the Red Wings to be top contenders for 2010 and fight for their rights at another Stanley Cup championship.

Detroit has a chance to extend their dynasty further if [...]
