Detroit Red Wings
Contents |
Summary
The Detroit Red Wings are a great to awful hockey club located in Detroit, Michigan. Because the city of Detroit is in a constant state of exodus, every road game has a rink full of Red Wings fans, as those cities are where relocated fans have found jobs. While the salary-capped Red Wings cannot just recreate the 1995 NHL All-Star team any more, the Wings have cleverly avoided disaster by signing every star player to a 35-year contract.
The most disastrous Red Wings season in recent memory was 2009-2010, where the team only finished in 6th place, and only won five playoff games.
