It’s almost too incredible to believe, but—yes—there are fans of other teams out there who aren’t fond of you, or the Wings. When you have the opportunity, you may want to send them this little ditty, as a reminder that the past, present and the future look a lot alike.

It’s going to be a long time before the Wings fail to crack the top eight in the Western Conference or even fall to the point where they don’t own home-ice advantage in the first round.

The team simply mines too many golden nuggets from the latter part of the draft, which is usually barren ground for other clubs (for some teams, anything beyond the first round is a total crap shoot).
