Why Are the Red Wings So Good Year After Year?

[eva unit zero 271]

The Calder trade last year. Didn't have to think very far back to find that one.

Because, you know, the Wings are absolutely dying because they don't have Jason Williams. Dying. Really.

Oh come on,when was the last time Wings won something without J-Will in their team?

Last century?

The Wings went to the WCF last season without J-Will. The Wings only won one playoff round with J-Will as a regular in the lineup; that was 2004 vs Nashville. And as we all know, correlation is equal to causation....meaning J Willy was the cause of all our playoff hardships, and trading him off for nothing was tantamount to improving our team dramatically in the postseason.

Trading J-Will did improve our team,but obviously not enough.

So there's still a weak link somewhere in our team, that needs to be traded away for nothing?

Hopp as props for Wings.

She asks the same thing, why Wings are so good year after year. Says it's a "mix of luck and longevity."

Pretty good article, but I still say it's the scouts.
