In a way the Detroit Red Wings have one of the toughest jobs in hockey this coming season - defending the Stanley Cup. Detroit was the last team to win back to back championships (in '97 and '98) and is considered a favorite to repeat in '08-'09 - which is saying a lot in an era where repeats are rare and more often than not a team wins the Cup and finds their roster cracked open before the start of the next season, the pieces of their Stanley Cup puzzle scattered into free agency, priced out of the team's salary cap allowances after having proven their worth all the way to the ultimate prize.
