As a die-hard red wing fan and all those others out there I'd like to ask you who is your current favorite none red wing player that's playing in the NHL right now. Mine is Alexander ovechkin because of his excitement his passion his dedication his commitment him putting 100% of his life into making himself even a half percent better is what I love about him the most, and when he won it in 2018 I was so very happy for him and I wish he goes on to win another one and another one but the one thing is I don't think he will be better than the great one I mean when you look at it Wayne Gretzky got to being the lead goal scorer in under 900 games but of course I didn't grow up watching Wayne Gretzky I'm growing up watching Alexander ovechkin but after watching highlights of Wayne Gretzky I never really seen the excitement that he had that Alexander had but maybe I'm wrong and no disrespect to Wayne Gretzky at all because I still do and will always love Wayne Gretzky. Imagine if they were able to play together with the few good players that they would need behind them, I guarantee they would win more Stanley cups than any other team any other duo that's ever played in the NHL
Who thinks as good could have won the cons might trophy in 2008 or is that just me overthinking it. Don't get me wrong Hendrick zetterberg definitely did deserve becomes mine I'm just saying do you think he was at least in second place when it came to winning the Cons Smyth trophy. That wonderful left shoulder save off Sydney Crosby's backhand with literally 1.6 seconds left probably sealed the trophy for the team so I can very well see Osgood winning the con Smyth trophy. Like I said I'm not taking anything absolutely nothing away from Hendrick zetterberg because he deserved it just as much and you can very well put Johan Franz and in that picture as well but that's why you call it a team cuz it's a team effort, it's like if it wasn't for that person then that person couldn't have one the trophy and if it wasn't for the other person the other person couldn't have one the trophy that's why you got to put everybody's pride at ease when you're a coach.
One hell of a run that year. Lots of great players. I wish my Oilers can have such a great run like this. We're on our way to the playoffs this year I'd love to see Connor McDavid hoist the Cup
I remember being at the 97 parade and the ceremony at Hart Plaza and I forget who the player was but he handed the Cup to the mass of Wings fans and it was getting passed around before Cup officials got it back. Awesome experience I'll never forget. We truly are Hockeytown.
Having been born in 1991 this is the most special of the cups they won during my lifetime. I was an absolute avid fan from about 2006. I've always loved them but never appreciated their dominance until then, I hope those days are coming back soon!!
"Hockey is like (now) the third priority behind my sobriety and my family. And keeping it third, makes it so much more enjoyable." What an incredible statement of self-realization. Way to go Darren McCarty.
it's sad Franzen was so electrifying, and Mike Babs was so mean to him. And then Franzen had to deal with so many concussions! loved watching the guy! i want an update on his health, last i heard he was struggling still, and couldn't really pick up his kids cause he was so frazzled with post concusssion symptoms.
You know in the 80,90 00 red wings hockey ways above advance good enough too make the playoffs alot threw those years !!! Had hall a fame players !!! Lost too colorAdo,Anaheim, st. Louis,,San Jose ,phoenix,,Dallas, and others I can't really think but always had a great playoff series even if they never made it too the cup ,!10,20, always a contender
Nobody even mentions Holland and babs for giving McCarty another chance…fransen also criticizes Babcock now but whatever he was doing had fransen playing his best hockey

Mule over Hossa killed us, Mule is up there as a “what if” like Mario’s back, concussions suck.
I saw Darren at Flint and GR that year, met him in Flint, stayed long after the game to sign autographs and take pictures, solid guy.
I was at game 6 in Pittsburgh, best game I’ve ever attended
We will return to glory, in Stevie we trust
Osgood was sooo good in 08’ but he was much better in 09’. People forget bc they lost in the finals but they would have never made it without him.
Anyone else notice Detroit had three head coaches behind the bench?

I'm a Sabres fan, but THIS TEAM is my favorite Stanley Cup champion since the 04-05 lockout
Toronto was, and is still sooooo jealous……fact
My current skates aren’t stiff enough
What was Detroit going through at that time and still to this day, oh that's right Democrats/leftist destroyed that city!!!!!!!!!
Thought the narrator sounded familiar, it’s the actor who played Dr.Cox on scrubs.
Mun mielestä hevletin hyvä joukkue ja odotetaan miten asiat ja mahdollista nuorille pelaajille luodaan.
Ok idea soita Suomeen ja otetaan teille hyvä veskari ja kolme puolustajaa ja kolme kahden suunnan hyökkääjä.
oh living with brad stuart's contract really hurt

mikael samuelsson had such a big head, and wanted too much money later on. what aguy
It was that Physicality in the Ducks series that the Wings lacked, once they gained it, and improved defensively, everything changed
Why the hell did youtube stop letting us ring the bell? It’s absolute BS
