commentary...

for a team who lost injured players to a NHL best(or is it worst) 243 man-games,the Red Wings had a great season... a man-game lost to injury just means that players on the main roster lost 243 games,in a 48 game season,and there were three players,(Darren Helm,Mikael Samuelsson,and Todd Bertuzzi),who combined for only twelve games played,all season due to injury... to take this Red Wings team to the second round of the Stanley Cup playoffs,Red Wings' head coach Mike Babcock did his best job of coaching,without a doubt,and was not even nominated for the Jack Adams Trophy(coach of the year)... that little fact is a total robbery...
