2007–08 Detroit Red Wings season

The 2007–08 Detroit Red Wings season was the franchise's 76th season as the Red Wings and 82nd in the National Hockey League (NHL). The team won their 11th Central Division title, 6th Presidents' Trophy, 5th Clarence S. Campbell Bowl, and won the Stanley Cup as league champion for the 11th time. The team finished first in the Central Division and first in the Western Conference for their 17th consecutive playoff appearance and began the playoffs versus the Nashville Predators. The team won the first two games of the series at home but lost the next two at Nashville. In response to these losses, head coach Mike Babcock replaced starting goaltender Dominik Hasek with Chris Osgood. Osgood led the team to nine straight victories en route to a 14-4 record (and 16-6 overall team record) and a 4 games to 2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals.

Three Red Wings players represented the West at the 56th National Hockey League All-Star Game in Atlanta, Georgia. Goaltender Chris Osgood along with defenceman Nicklas Lidstrom and center Pavel Datsyuk were starters in the game. The Western Conference team was coached by Detroit Red Wings head coach Mike Babcock.

Regular season

The Red Wings had the best goaltending in the League, allowing only 179 goals (excluding five shootout goals).^[1]^[2]^[3]
