From Dec. 14 to Dec. 25, I will mimic the pattern of the "12 Days of Christmas" song by asking for one thing on the ...

Ideally, given all of the players out of their lineup, the one thing the Detroit Red Wings should be able to rely on is goaltending. A goalie with three Stanley Cup championships and four wins shy of 400 for his career should provide a level of net confidence virtually unmatched by any other net minder in the league.

Marian Hossa, facing his former team, a rematch between the Western Conference Finalists, the old lion Red Wings being challenged by the young lion Blackhawks; ...

Though controversial to this day, there is no doubt that this honor has provided players with the unique opportunity to showcase their skills on the world's biggest stage and skate with the hopes of an entire country on their backs.
