Hey everybody!!! I hope every things going well. Things sure are going well with me. Its late September. September not only means the beginning of fall. It also means training camp and the start of games for the defending Stanley cup champs. So are you ready for the 08'-09' up coming season of the Detroit Red Wings. I know I am. It will sure be fun to watch them. They basically have the same core players, but they also added some much needed depth. On forward, they added a player that played for the Stanley cup finalists. The Pittsburgh Penguins. He can score and that's what the wings want, his name is Marian Hossa. He will be one of the many threats for the red wings. They also added one of Marians teammate. His name is Ty Conklin, and he will play a very important role for the back-up goalie position. If Osgood gets hurt, they can count on Conklin. He is a veteran that can contribute to the wings success. So now you have learned about the two new faces on the wings roster. Now lets name a couple key returning players. First I will name the wings captain, Nicklas Lindstrom. He is another veteran that anchors the blue line and leads by example. Last season Nick lead the NHL in points by a defence man. He also had the best plus-minus in the league. Next ill talk about a surprise player last year. He is from Sweden and his nickname is "the mule". He lead the playoffs in points. His name is Johan Franzen. If he plays to his potential. He is one of the best players in the game. He has all of the tools. He is a big forward, with speed, that can put the puck in the back of the net. Enough talking about the wings and what they should do. Lets kick back and watch them cruise through their schedule. Well that's all i have to say. GO WINGS!!!!!!!!!
