I think it’s the way we’ve been playing, which is probably the nicest feeling. It hasn’t been a coincidence. We worked really hard for it and we continue to do so every day.”

The Detroit Red Wings have a player on their hands who does nothing but work and is far from a "dull boy." All successful hockey organizations make the most of their drafting and development. Part of that is selecting the right players for the team.
