Recap
In a season shortened to 48 games by a 4-month lockout the Red Wings capture the President's Trophy marking the best record in the NHL at 33-11-4. In the playoffs the Red Wings continued to soar beating the Dallas Stars in 5 games. In the 2nd round the Wings made up for their slip up the year before by sweeping the San Jose Sharks in 4 straight scoring 6 goals in each game to outscore the Sharks 24-6. In the Western Conference Finals the Red Wings remained the dominant force in hockey beating the Chicago Blackhawks in 5 games to advance to their first final in 29 years. However, in the finals the Wings would be frustrated by the neutral zone trap employed by the New Jersey Devils, as they are swept in 4 straight.
