After Detroit's shocking upset loss in the first playoff round to the Los Angeles Kings, general manager Ken Holland went out into the trade market to address Detroit's more glaring needs. He quickly filled them by trading for future Hall of Fame goaltender Dominik Hasek and signing veteran All-Stars Brett Hull and Luc Robitaille. These big names joined other future Hall of Famers such as Chris Chelios, Sergei Fedorov, Igor Larionov, Nicklas Lidstrom, Brendan Shanahan and Steve Yzerman, as well as important supporting players in Jiri Fischer, former All-Star Steve Duchesne, Tomas Holmstrom, the "Grind Line" of Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, and Darren McCarty, and Pavel Datsyuk in his rookie season, and rounded out with legendary coach Scotty Bowman, who had decided to return for one more year.

The Wings were quickly selected as favorites to win the Stanley Cup by pundits and they went on to prove them right.[1] With so much talent on one team — including the first time three 500-goal scorers were on the same team, as well as a fourth to become in Brendan Shanahan that will eventually hit the mark during the season — they quickly got off to a great start, winning 22 of their first 27 games. After finishing with 116 points and the best record in the NHL (by 15 points), the Wings had earned the first seed in the Western Conference and met the Vancouver Canucks in the first round. After the Canucks took the first two games, it looked like the Canucks were going to sweep the Red Wings and the Red Wings were going to have their second straight early exit. Captain Steve Yzerman gave a closed-door speech to the team.[2] Only the players in the locker room knew what was said, but the Wings headed to Vancouver and won four straight games to win the series in a stunning turn of events.

After making quick work against their division rival, the St. Louis Blues, Detroit met their arch-nemesis, the second-seeded Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals, reigniting their long-storied rivalry. Throughout the series, the two adversaries engaged in a fierce back-and-forth battle within a hotly fought contest that went on doggedly for seven games, with the series being tied three times before culminating in a pivotal game seven in Detroit. With the two teams teetering on the brink of elimination, the Red Wings delivered a shell-shocking performance, overwhelming the Avalanche with an assertive offense and securing a resounding victory in the decisive game seven with a final score of 7-0. After that, the Wings fought the cinderella story Carolina Hurricanes for the Stanley Cup, winning in game five at home. Over 1 million people showed up for the victory parade in downtown Detroit on June 17.[3]

There was no All-Star game this year as the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City took place in February 2002 where eleven Red Wings players represented their countries. Brendan Shanahan and Steve Yzerman represented Canada; Chris Chelios and Brett Hull represented the United States; Dominik Hasek represented the Czech Republic; Sergei Fedorov, Pavel Datsyuk and Igor Larionov represented Russia; and Nicklas Lidstrom, Fredrik Olausson, and Tomas Holmstrom represented Sweden.[4]

The Red Wings sold out all 41 home games in 2001–02 as 20,058 fans packed Joe Louis Arena for every regular season and playoff game played in Detroit. The season was chronicled by Detroit Free Press sportswriter Nicholas J. Cotsonika's 2002 book, Hockey Gods: The Inside Story of the Red Wings' Hall of Fame Team. The 02 Red Wings are regarded as one of the best hockey teams of all time due to their historical significance.[5][6][7][8]

Regular season

The Red Wings tied the Los Angeles Kings for the most power-play goals scored during the regular season with 73.[9]

Playoffs

The Detroit Red Wings ended the 2001–02 regular season as the Western Conference's first seed and played Vancouver in the first round. After losing the first two games in Detroit, the Wings rallied back to win four straight. Then the Wings made quick work of the Blues before meeting the second-seeded Colorado Avalanche in the Western Conference Finals. The Wings would beat the Avalanche in a hard-fought seven game series, winning the final game 7–0. As the final game in the series came to a close, the Neil Diamond song "Sweet Caroline" was played over the Joe Louis Arena loudspeakers, as the victorious Red Wings prepared to head off to a Stanley Cup clinching series with the third-seeded victors of the Eastern Conference, the Carolina Hurricanes. They won the series in five games, defeating the Hurricanes three to one at home in Detroit on June 13 to take home their tenth Stanley Cup.
