Detroit is known as Hockeytown, and for good reason

Detroit is known as Hockeytown, and for good reason. The Detroit Red Wings have won 10 Stanley Cups over its storied history, hanging the 10th banner at the end of the 2002 season. After six years without the Cup, now they face newcomers-the Pittsburg Penguins-lead by "the Kid" Sidney Crosby. Triumph Books partners with the Detroit Free Press, the hometown newspaper that covers ever moment on and off the ice of the heralded Wings, to publisher celebratory keepsake of a Red Wings 11th Stanley Cup Championship.

The Red Wing’s high scoring of late will be of much comfort to Detroit fans as they know thus far they have been overreliant .

The Red Wing’s high scoring of late will be of much comfort to Detroit fans as they know thus far they have been overreliant on the skills of Russian Peytr Mrazek and Jimmy Howard in the net. The pair have shown themselves to be rock-solid goaltenders this season and will be heartened to see they may no longer have to defend slim leads. But it was 1998’s Stanley Cup victory theme Hey, Hey Hockeytown that blared out from the sound system following Abdelkader’s opening goal, and one thinks that a return to Hockeytown may be a distinct possibility for the Detroit Red Wings. Kristopher Hinz is a third year sports journalism student at La Trobe University.

Bowman told the Detroit Free Press on Friday: came down to see me and I knew .

Bowman told the Detroit Free Press on Friday: came down to see me and I knew right away I wanted to be with Detroit, he said. With two more in 2002 and 2008, Detroit won four of its 11 Cups under Ilitch. But in 1998 after the Red Wings won their second consecutive Stanley Cup, Ilitch and the team finally got their Hockeytown trademark after a nearly three-year wait. It inspired the nostalgic, 90s rock Red Wings theme song and this amazing Twitter moment between rivals.

Could 2008 be the year number 11 goes up? By now you would think I would be used to it but every year it amazes me how many of the hockey analysts write off the Detroit Red Wings. First before each season they are saying Detroit will finish middle of the play-off pack at best

Could 2008 be the year number 11 goes up? By now you would think I would be used to it but every year it amazes me how many of the hockey analysts write off the Detroit Red Wings. First before each season they are saying Detroit will finish middle of the play-off pack at best. So after 6 Presidents Trophies of the 21 awarded ( the trophy began in 1986 and was not given out one year due to the lock out ), 17 consecutive years in the play-offs, 4 seasons out of the last 6 finishing first overall ( Presidents Trophy ), why did teh talking heads pick them to be mediocre yet again?
