Babcock nailed it

If the Detroit Red Wings are to repeat as Stanley Cup champions they will to have earn it. Coach Mike Babcock after last night's game was talking about winning the game the last night, and probably the whole season.
From the AP article Saturday.

Detroit coach Mike Babcock called a timeout after Voros' second goal.
"I just asked them who this team was. Where was the team that was playing the whole game until that last little bit?" he said. "People don't understand. We won the Stanley Cup, but this is a new year. You have to earn things. People say we're going to be fine, but the only way we'll be fine is if we earn the right to be fine."

Other teams will be coming hard at the Wings this year because they're the reigning champions. The hype surrounding them will be more intense this season. Also many pundits predicted them to win the Cup again. Don't believe the hype. The Red Wings will have to earn it.
