The Wings scored 116 points, winning the Central Division, their third Presidents' Trophy, and home ice throughout the playoffs. The team is considered one of the greatest teams in NHL history with ten future Hockey Hall of Famers on the team, as well as a Hall of Fame coach in Scotty Bowman. After Detroit's shocking upset loss in the first playoff round to the Los Angeles Kings, general manager Ken Holland went out into the trade market to address Detroit's more glaring needs. He quickly filled them by trading for future Hall of Fame goaltender Dominik Hasek and signing veteran All-Stars Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille. These big names joined other future Hall of Famers such as Chris Chelios, Sergei Fedorov, Igor Larionov, Nicklas Lidstrom, Brendan Shanahan and Steve Yzerman, as well as important supporting players in Jiri Fischer, former All-Star Steve Duchesne, Tomas Holmstrom, the "Grind Line" of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and Darren McCarty, and Pavel Datsyuk in his rookie season, and rounded out with legendary coach Scotty Bowman, who had decided to return for one more year. The Red Wings began the season by winning 22 of their first 27 games. The roster featured 500-goal scorers, with Brendan Shanahan becoming the fourth teammate to reach the milestone during the season. Detroit finished the regular season with an NHL best 116 points to earn the top seed in the Western Conference. In the first round of the playoffs, the Vancouver Canucks took a 2-0 series lead before Detroit won four consecutive games to advance. After winning against the St. Louis Blues, Detroit met the second-seeded Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals, reigniting their long-storied rivalry. Throughout the series, the two teams engaged in a contest that went on for seven games, with the series being tied three times before culminating in game seven in Detroit. With both teams on the brink of elimination, the Red Wings triumphed over the Avalanche in game seven with a final score of 7-0. After that, the Wings fought the Carolina Hurricanes for the Stanley Cup, winning in game five at home.Wings fans give team grand send-off into summer, USATODAY.com, accessed September 26, 2007 There was no All-Star game this year as the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City took place in February 2002 where eleven Red Wings players represented their countries.
