So much for the notion that you can't improve on perfection.
Okay, near perfection.
And so much for the theory that the day of the dynasty in the NHL is dead. It is no sure thing, but the chances are definitely not dead.
An incredible season and a remarkable spring, has been followed by a very impressive summer for the defending champion Detroit Red Wings, who Wednesday somehow managed to sign free-agent winger Marian Hossa.
