Ken Holland isn't going to lie. As he was buying out a trio of veterans last summer and looking for free agents willing to sign for peanuts, he didn't think his Detroit Red Wings would be first overall in the NHL standings this late in the regular season. "No, probably not," says the Wings GM. "I felt if everything went well we'd be a playoff contender. But did I think we'd be sitting with the most points through 67 games? No."
