The ’07-’08 Detroit Red Wings have been the third seed in both of the Ultimate NHL Playoffs so far.

However, once there, they were eliminated by the eventual runners up.

Players to Watch:

• RW – Gordie Howe – Mr. Hockey, duh.
• C – Steve Yzerman – Only two players have worn the winged-wheel longer and one of them is the guy at the top of this list.
• C – Pavel Datsyuk – Went with three Red Wing legends of three different eras.
