But teams that repeat, they know how hard it is, and that can hurt them. They would turn into a defensive team even though they didn't play that way all year. They would pace themselves in what it took to win. I look at Detroit, and I see a team that's ready to do that. They know what they have to do, and they can ratchet it up.
All indications are, they can do it.
The Wings also have Bowman. Playoffs are his time to focus and shine. He's repeated before, and he can do it with this team. He changes a lot of different things. He challenges people.
