I have never been a real big hockey fan, maybe being from Southern California had something to do with it. Not many people here are into hockey as much as baseball, football and basketball. But I remember as a kid looking at the NHL standings and rooting for the L.A. Kings to be in first place. Sometimes they were but most of the time not, most city's could probably say that about their home teams. There was always a team though that year after year seemed to be near the top and that was the Detroit Red Wings.
It still has not ended as I am now a grown adult, they are still one of the elite NHL teams.I mean, don't teams ever need to rebuild and have a couple bad seasons during the rebuilding process. Teams do get old you know. Wouldn't a salary cap slow you down. You can't be good forever when you are never near the top of the draft to pick up the top future players, right? Normally the answer would be - of course. The Detroit Red Wings never got the memo though!
They are on pace to win at least 50 games for the third straight season, Detroit looks to match the Montreal Canadians of 1974-82 as the only teams in NHL history to reach 100 points for eight straight seasons. And, lest we forget, the Wings own the longest current postseason streak in pro sports with 16 straight playoff appearances, including 15 in a row that have started on home ice.
Detroit is one of the all time great franchises in NHL history. They have 10 Stanley Cups under their belt, third most in NHL history. The Toronto Maple Leafs for second place on the list with 13. If your wondering who has the most, well let's just say that it will be sometime before they, or anyone else ever catches the Montreal Canadiens who have 24 championships.
