NHL season previews often sell you an impressive bill of goods before you realize, at the end of the season, you're holding an empty box. Which makes using advertisements and infomercials the appropriate template for Puck Daddy's 2009-10 NHL Season Previews, presented each day throughout September.Last Season's Ad Copy (See Also Wings Eulogy): Second in the Western Conference, first in the Central Division (51-21-10, 112 points). Swept the Columbus Blue Jackets, outlasted the Anaheim Ducks in seven games, blasted the Chicago Blackhawks in five and then watched Sidney Crosby(notes) snub the handshake line while celebrating the Stanley Cup championship after Game 7. And yeah, they're still a little sore about that last one. This is a good thing. The Detroit Red Wings with a chip on their collective shoulder are a dangerous bunch. Like when critics doubted that a reigning champion can make it back to the finals. Like when an NHL commissioner issued a quasi-suspension be...

Detroit Red Wings 2009-10 Season Preview

Confidence Not An Issue For Wings

from Chris McCosky of the Detroit News, “It took a long time to get over it, I’ve got to be honest,” forward Dan Cleary said. “Just like sleeping, anytime that you’re resting, you’re sitting there and all you think about is that game, losing it. I really don’t even talk about it that much. I try not to talk about it. Every time I see a Pittsburgh picture, I have...

30 Teams/30 Days: Detroit Red Wings

Outlook: After two straight Stanley Cup Finals appearances in 2008 and 2009, with one victory in 2008, how can one think the Detroit Red Wings are worse? Well there are a few answers to that. With a tight salary cap situation, the Wings did not make very many additions to their roster. Veteran forward Todd Bertuzzi was the most notable free agent signing and Patrick Eaves and Jason...

Mark Spizzirri: Five reasons why Detroit will not return to the Western Conference Finals

Itâ??s nothing personal For the most part, I have enjoyed a good relationship with the core group of Red Wing fans that follow my blogs on Hockeybuzz. As many of you may or may not know, I am not an actual fan of the Detroit Red Wings. Unlike many of Hockeybuzzâ??s fine bloggers who live and die with their team, I am actually a fan of the Edmonton Oilers. Nevertheless, due...

How Good Is Getzlaf?

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, I covered part of that Anaheim-Detroit series and came away wondering if Getzlaf wasn’t indeed the best center in the Western Conference, a tall statement considering his company (Pavel Datsyuk, Joe Thornton, Henrik Sedin and Jonathan Toews, among others).
