Wings weren't soft last year, unless you are counting the number of bruises they had.

They played the 3 most physical teams in the playoffs, and lost a war of attrition. I doubt that Anaheim would have won the cup if they had to go through Calgary and San Jose first.

This Wings squad may not be "tough guys", but they are tough minded and resilient.
