The 2002 Detroit Red Wings were absolutely stacked with Hall of Famers — but were they the best NHL team ever assembled?

I’m gonna be an obvious Wings glazer because they are my team but I think what made the team stand out is not just the HOFers. I think it was the resilience. How many top seeded teams get the death sentence in the NHL come playoff time? Too many to count. The 02 wings were down 3 of the 4 series that playoff. One of which was down to an elimination game to the Avs. You could NOT keep that team down. They always found ways to claw back in. That’s what I can appreciate the most.
I didnt think this team was all that good. With all of that talent and not one player had a point per game average. They were luckier than anything else. One bad bounce against the Avs and that series was over. 02 Wings were highly overrated.
