Puisque le CH affronte les champions de la Coupe Stanley ce soir, nous vous proposons quelques liens qui pourraient nous en dire plus sur ces premiers de classe.
Un peu d’espionnage industriel pour supporteurs question de voir comment ça marche à Hockeytown.
Ingrédient #1: Développer le talent. Exemple: Johan Franzen, “The Mule”.
Franzen was basically banished to bandy after getting suspended from hockey for 10 months following a run-in with an official.
“I accidentally touched a referee,” Franzen said. “He went down. There were no cameras or anything. He stopped in front of me. I didn’t stop. I was a kid doing a stupid thing. I was 18, I think. I guess I didn’t see him.”
Assistant general manager Jim Nill, who is in charge of the Red Wings’ draft, said the suspension didn’t factor into their decision when they selected Franzen in the third round, 97th overall, in 2004.
“That was never an issue with us,” Nill said. “We talked with people. We knew he was a character person.”
Ingrédient #2: Faire de bons achats. Exemple: Marian Hossa.
He has been their best player so far, dominating at both ends of the ice. He’s dangerous with the puck because he can shoot and pass with equal deftness. He forechecks, backchecks — and paid the check after a recent team dinner in Vancouver […]
Ingrédient #3: Cent fois sur le métier… Exemple: Mike Babcock.
“The West is good, it’s going to be tough, it’s going to be tight. I would have liked to have gotten to 15 (wins), but 32 points at this point is a good effort. I thought our defensive play has been better since that Pittsburgh game where we had the meltdown (7-6 overtime loss on Nov. 11). Like most teams, we’re a work in progress.”
Finalement, Ingrédient #4: Bien manger. Exemple: Chris Chelios
