2001–02 Detroit Red Wings season

The 2001–02 Detroit Red Wings season was the 76th National Hockey League season in Detroit, Michigan. The Wings scored 116 points, winning the Central Division, their third Presidents' Trophy, and home ice throughout the playoffs.
After last seasons' disappointing loss to the Los Angeles Kings, Ken Holland went out into the trade market to address Detroit's more glaring needs. He quickly filled them by trading for Hall of Fame goaltender Dominik Hasek and signing Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille. These big names joined other future Hall of Fame talents; Chris Chelios, Sergei Fedorov, Igor Larionov, Nicklas Lidstrom, Brendan Shanahan, Steve Yzerman, along with legendary coach Scotty Bowman, who had decided to return for one more year.
The Wings were quickly selected as favorites to win the Stanley Cup and did not disappointDetroit Red Wings 2001 Preview, CNNSI.com, accessed September 26, 2007. With so much talent on one team, including the first time three 500-goal scorers were on the same team, they quickly got off to a great start, winning 22 of their first 27 games. After finishing with 116 points and the best record in the NHL, the Wings had earned the first seed in the Western Conference and met the Vancouver Canucks in the first round. However, Detroit and the rest of the hockey world were shocked when the Canucks quickly won the first two games in Hockeytown. After the loss, team Captain Steve Yzerman gave a closed-door speech to the teamCongratulating the Detroit Red Wings on Winning Their 10th Stanley Cup Championship Senate Proposal, Carl Levin, senate.gov, accessed September 26, 2007. Only the players in the locker room knew what was said, but the Wings headed to Vancouver and won four straight games to take the series. 
After a quick series against the division rival St. Louis Blues, Detroit met their old nemesis, the second-seeded Colorado Avalanche in the Conference Finals. They battled back and forth during the series, tying the series three times before reaching game seven in Detroit. The Wings came out firing and won the deciding game 7 – 0. After that the Wings fought the cinderella story Carolina Hurricanes for the Stanley Cup, winning in game five at home.

There was no All-Star game this year as the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City took place in February 2002 where ten Red Wings players represented their countries. Brendan Shanahan and Steve Yzerman represented Canada, Chris Chelios and Brett Hull represented the United States, Dominik Hasek represented the Czech Republic, Sergei Fedorov and Igor Larionov represented Russia, and Nicklas Lidstrom, Fredrik Olausson, and Tomas Holmstrom represented Sweden2002 Olympic Hockey Team Rosters, HockeyNut.com, accessed September 26, 2007. 
The Red Wings sold out all 41 home games in 2001–02 as 20,058 fans packed Joe Louis Arena for every regular season and playoff game played in Detroit. The season was chronicled by Detroit Free Press sportswriter Nicholas J. Cotsonika's 2002 book, "Hockey Gods: The Inside Story of the Red Wings' Hall of Fame Team".

==Playoffs==
The Detroit Red Wings ended the 2001–02 regular season as the Western Conference's first seed and played Vancouver in the first round. After losing the first two games in Detroit, the Wings rallied back to win four straight. Then the Wings made quick work of the Blues before meeting the second-seeded Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals. The Wings would beat the Avalanche in a hard fought seven game series, winning the final game 7 – 0. As the final game in the series came to a close, the James Taylor song "Carolina in My Mind" was played over the Joe Louis Arena loudspeakers, as the victorious Red Wings prepared to head off to a Stanley Cup clinching series with the third-seeded victors of the Eastern Conference, the Carolina Hurricanes. They won the series in five games, beating the Hurricanes three to one at home in Detroit on June 13 to take home their tenth Stanley Cup.
