For the Detroit Red Wings, this was the golden age of hockey. Gordie Howe, Sid Abel, and Ted Lindsay struck fear in goalies' hearts with their famous Production Line, one of the highest-scoring lines in NHL history. Terry Sawchuk astonished the world with shutout after shutout. Red Kelly was one of the game's wiliest defencemen and and Marcel Pronovost one of its fiercest checkers. Between them--and with the help of great muckers, grinders, managers and coaches--the Wings claimed five Stanley Cups by 1955.
