I'm with Matt. We're not called Hockeytown for nothing!!!!! We have the best guys. New and old which brings new skills and experience together. For all you who caught Thursday's game it was just beautiful. First, Maltby scored. Then when it seemed hope was gone and overtime would come we scored not once but twice. within 13 seconds!!!!! i give props to Larinov and Draper. Wings are going all the way. So for all you Wings haters out there: WINGS KICK BUTT!!!! Carolina is going down in blaze of humiliation. Go wings. :)

Hey,

We are not here to bash on the defenceless Canes'. They are a very, very good team, and they stunned us in game 1. I do give them credit, but, honestley. ALL THE NHL FANS OUT THERE, do you, agian honestley, see a nother team like Detroit any time soon? So, before you say "Wings Suck" rember 1 thing. We are the best team, bar-none. I don't care what you say. When you read all thoes names on paper, all you can think is WOW!

Just my .02. Please, all wings fans, no Canes' bashing yet. We are tied w/ them, so they are just as good as us right now...

uhh......
 

Hmmm....

My vote went for the Hurricanes, because for some reason reason all Detroit fans seem to either take it way to seriously or there is just something "different" about them...

Re: uhh......

i think the "different" here means that we're different because we are so much better than any other place. plus, everybody knows that the wings lost the first game on purpose,whats the point of winning the cup on the road??

Differences in Detroit
 

Detroit is one of the only places where you will see 3rd and 4th line jerseys sported by the fans along with the "superstars". I have seen Darren McCarty, Kirk Maltby, Boyd Deveraux, and Mattiu Dandenault jerseys right alongside the Steve Yzerman, Shanahan, Hull, Robitaille, Fedorov, etc. I think that it is wonderful that the detroit fans embrace the entire team and not just the "big names". So many times in other arenas fans only support the Forsbergs, Sakics, Madanos, and Prongers...
That is why Detroit is different.

I'd just like to also say that i am so proud of the NHL for giving Jiri Fischer that game suspension...that hit was totally uncalled for. Shame on you Jiri :(

Did anyone see that cheep shot that Fischer dished out. God man how stupid can you be, and i can't belive that he wasen't called on that thats a 5 minute major ejection and suspension, all he got was suspended after the game. Then he says he wouldn't have gotten up if the cross check was intentional, i was watching it and i don't see how you unintentinally bring your hands up to somebodys face and push forward but hey what do i know. That could have changed the game and it was a cheep shot he deserves the suspension.

wtg redwings
 

The Stanley Cup is coming home to Detroit!!! Congrats to all the cup winners...and to think that I actually got to kiss it. How wonderful. Nick Lidstrom is the Conn Smythe trophy winner. What a great night for hockey and for the city of Detroit and for all of the Redwing fans.

Who else is super-sad that Scotty Bowman isn't coming back?? What a way to go out, though.

I only wish that I could have been in Hockeytown for the celebration...but that is what I get for having a job.

Actually, Bowman isn't going to be completly gone. They said he's going to stick around for a couple years as a consultant. I havn't heard for sure if anyone else is going with him, but I'm guessing Hasak will retire, along with Larinov.

hasek had a terrific season with the wings...i think that he might come back. Stevey already said that he has a few years left in him, and i think that luc robitaille and brett hull will also come back. i wouldn't really be surprised not to see igor larionov in the roster next year. he is 41 years old after all, but he is still playing very well. I guess that we will just have to wait and see.

Even without Scotty the wings will do just fine in years to come. With young talent like deveraux, williams, datsuyk, and fischer, look for good things to come. I think that Dave Lewis will come on as the head coach and he has had the pleasure of working with Bowman for so many years...I also wouldn't be surprised if yzerman decided to coach in the years to come.

Definatly alot to look forward in the coming months and years. Long live the spirit in detroit.
