"I understand that some people will be questioning Mr. Illitch's decision, and this questioning will continue until I am able to bring the Stanley Cup back to Detroit. I understand this, as does Mr. Illitch, and we are both fine with it because we know that this decision, to put me in as General Manager of the greatest sports franchise in history, is the right one. I have obviously never been in this position before, but that doesn't change the fact that I am ready to handle the responsibility it carries. "The press, which I have never put much faith in when it comes to sports analyzing (a joke at his own account; the audience laughed as did Illitch and Holland), claims that the Detroit Red Wings have lost too much, while others in the Central have gained too much, for Detroit to stay on top of the division. Not only will be stay on top of our Division as we have for the past eight years, and twelve of the fifteen years of the Central Divisions existence, but we will be competing for the President's trophy at the end of the year. "The core team we have here, that Mr. Holland and Mr. Illitch has built, is the best in the game. Our captain, the greatest Defensive player in the game today, and one of the best of all-time, Niklas Lidstrom is back and ready to avenge a game seven loss that saw him inches from trying the game up with less than 3 seconds left. Then we have The Mule, Johan Franzen, the playoff specialist, Pavel Datsyuk, the best defensive forward I have ever witnessed play the game, and Henrik Zetterberg, an offensive playmaker like no other at our core. And in the net, and I want you guys to quote me on this, we have the most underrated goaltender in the history of the game, the two-time Jennings Trophy winner, three-time Stanley Cup Champion, and the number ten All-Time Winningest Goalie, Chris Osgood. These big five, mixed in the likes of Brian Rafalski, Brad Stuart, Dan Cleary, Thomas Holmstrom, and new names like the returning Todd Bertuzzi, Brad May, and Patrick Eaves, the Detroit Red Wings are in a very good spot, and we are ready to take over the Central, the West, and NHL once again. "'Hockeystad Stilla Tro På'- Hockeytown Still Believes. Thank you."
