It's been 20 years since the Red Wings opened a regular season with two consecutive losses.
The last time a team won a Stanley Cup after losing their first two games?...
... 1980, the New York Islanders.
Only six Islanders were born when that happened (only ten Red Wings, for that matter).
Just a little bit o' history to brighten your day.

If Osgood's going to revert with his regular season performances again from 2008-09, Detroit could be in a world of hurt. Ty Conklin's not around to bail them out this season. Jimmy Howard looks baaad.
I know better than to throw the first shovel of dirt on them....But yikes.
Well Hooks, I see you're getting a little schadenfreude at the Wings' recent fortunes.
I have nothing against the Wings' myself but they were not my pick to repeat as Western Conference champs.
All good things(or bad) must come to an end
