Since Oct. 19, 2013, the Tigers, Lions, Pistons and Red Wings are a combined 5-25 in playoff games, with the Red Wings accounting for all five wins in first-round losses. So the question everyones been asking for years remains: Which team is closest to bringing a championship to Detroit? The only argument in favor of the Lions being the closest to winning a championship is the year-to-year unpredictability in the NFL. The former Red Wings legend has traded in his sweater for a suit and tie to bring Hockeytown back to glory. After floundering in the latter years of the Ken Holland era, Red Wings fans can feel optimistic about the direction of the franchise.

In fact, he's apparently been home for months working on finalizing his new position as general manager of the Detroit Red Wings. Here we are a day after Chris Ilitch and Ken Holland introduced Yzerman as the organization's newest GM, and it still feels kind of surreal for Red Wings fans. He chose the Red Wings, who first chose him more than 30 years ago. Yzerman is now expected to lead this Red Wings team back to the glory it once had when he was playing. Yet, for all his accomplishments he still seeks a Stanley Cup win as general manager.
