Suffocating defense wins the game again

Capitals 2, Red Wings 3.

Mike Babcock has been known for years as a trap evangelist. He's buried the potent Red Wings organization chances a few years ago and carried Anaheim Ducks as a Head Coach to the Stanley Cup Finals. After that Detroit hired him, "if you can't beat 'em, hire 'em".

You can win with the trap, but your fan base is going to shrink. If you won't win, your fan base is going to shrink. :-) Detroit fans are losing an interest, the JLA arena is half empty, but the Red Wings still keep on winning. Red Wings are missing Hudler, Hossa, Franzen and Samuelsson, but they still keep on going. Obviously another amazing fact about the Red Wings organization.
