@@timmyjohnson1195 I think injuries played a much bigger role. Hossa played with one shoulder. Datsyuk could only walk on one leg, Zetterberg's back was messed up, and Lidstrom had a foot problem.
Holy Hossa and Datsyuk. The entire hockey world lost out the day Hossa left the wings, because the things they did together in 1 year were... jaw dropping.
He jynxed the wings. Season before he left the penguins and said he wanted to play for a team that was going to win the cup. Came to Detroit played the same team he left and what happened??
Yeah Hosea was good. But I think Holmstrom is such an underrated player. Love that guy so much! The abuse he takes and sacrifice he makes in front of the net is unreal!!
Right? Look at Hossa after that season...and look at franzen! Even Detroit makes a mistake from time-to-time. Regrettably it's a shame it involved Hossa.
Um this is nuts. They weren’t even in the same price range, and franzen easily scored more playoff goals than Hossa did. The shame is Franzens concussion issues. Hossa also saw his career cut short.
@@Kwright304 I’m glad somebody actually knows what happened. Miss these days man. Grandparents were season ticket holders so I probably saw 20 games that season. Unreal. Babcock Belongs in jail for the way he treated franzen. Chelios too.
Yeah, has Franzen done anything for us, yeah, get injured, lol. He should be retired by now, he always gets injured now, if we would've kept Hossa, who was better than Franzen. We could have more cups
Everyone saying that they’re mad how we signed Franzen over Hossa. I agree but remember Hossa was HORRIBLE in the playoffs. I truthfully believe he cost us the cup that year(08-09)
We can all Monday morning/2015 morning Quarterback the Hossa/Franzen decision. But after watching this video how could you not as a Wings GM offer The Mule the big contract first? After this season it looked like they where the same players, plus #93 was coming off one of the greatest playoff seasons of all time. How could you not do what Kenny did?
Hossa REALLY deserved a cup this year. The raw talent between him and Datsyuk was just absurd to watch.
I agree but remember Hossa was HORRIBLE in the playoffs. It is, IMO, hossa fault we didn’t win.

Such a good team that year
+alex rej Wish we still had Filppula and Hudler :(
God this team was so stacked

Datsyuk and Hossa dominated.
The Magic Man.
This was the team that really engaged me into hockey. I miss Hossa, only year with the Wings and had a 40 goal season.
He jynxed the wings. Season before he left the penguins and said he wanted to play for a team that was going to win the cup. Came to Detroit played the same team he left and what happened??
Wow .. Best Detroit squad other than 95' to not win the cup. So much depth and talent.
I agree
kiker0909 I'd put the '96 and '06 teams up there as well.
***** Who were our top 4 d that season in 06'
?
Волшебник, технарь с днём рождения!!!!
It was sad when Hossa left, I actually thought he was a great addition to the wings!
He was expensive
Yeah Hosea was good. But I think Holmstrom is such an underrated player. Love that guy so much! The abuse he takes and sacrifice he makes in front of the net is unreal!!
Rewatching this makes me really sad that we signed Franzen long term instead of Hossa. The chemistry between Hossa and Datsyuk was unbelievable.

@@jakekeary9229 look into what he did to Mike Modano
Pavel Datsyuk....
If Pavel isn't on one leg and Hossa playing with a broken shoulder...we win back to back cups again...:(
Hossa looked fucking great in a wings jersey. Still annoyed to this day that we signed franzen instead.
Yeah, has Franzen done anything for us, yeah, get injured, lol. He should be retired by now, he always gets injured now, if we would've kept Hossa, who was better than Franzen. We could have more cups
I could waste an entire day on your channel. Thanks for archiving all this material!
Still don't believe we got rid of Hossa, such a loss.
He kicked the freaking pick... simply amazing!
Puck**
Cain Adam Ah puck me...

Poor Hossa bounced around from Stanley cup final to Stanley cup final :/
Finalists

Spencer Jardine not to mention, Franzen was younger and less expensive than Hossa.
I miss Brad Stuart.
Let’s get this season started!!
I’m watching every game and hopefully going to a few, if the Covid fraud doesn’t screw everything up again.
It's a good thing we resigned Franzen..
Can't forget pav is Russian
We are all, first of all, people.
This is just too painful to watch.
А кто такой Хосса?
