Preseason always begins with optimism, but that optimism shouldn't go to the wayside if the Detroit Red Wings struggle early in the preseason.
The Detroit Red Wings may kick off preseason this week, but we don't need any 'end of week blues' if things don't go according to plan for a few games that don't count. While we'll see some of what the lines will look like when the Wings start playing for real, we also need to remember that all 32 teams are trying and experimenting from now until early-to-mid October.
