Think this is the best hockey we've ever seen. Early 2000s to 2010 is the best blend of skill and talent while the nhl still had relevance. Also the goalies level of skill jumped up from the 90s to the 2000s
I was 4 years old in 2002. And even at that young of age, I said in my exact words during game 2 of the Stanley Cup Finals; “This team is something special.”
24:53 how hyped game 5 must have been. Even though my wings lost. I love the avs cause they were our opposite. And what else can you say. Game 5 Series tied 2-2 2002. All those hall of Fame players. Coaches. Last good seasons of Hasek and Roy. Federov Forsberg. Rookie Datsyuk Lindstrom rob Blake. Yzerman sakic. Heduk hull. Shanahan McCarty tanguay Chris chelios Adam foote. 2002. No damn cellphones. God take me back to this I'd give every thing to watch game,5,6,7 with good seats and some beer. Man.
20 years later, it's unreal to see the amount of talent in one hockey club. I miss the Red Wings/Avalanche rivalry that was always so intense. Also so heartbreaking seeing Jiri 🙁
Frederick Oulason was actually the first off season aquisition and was totally underatted. This guy played great all year paired with Lidstrom just like in the Olympics and played even better in the playoffs scoring some of the biggest goals of the playoffs.
Man I haven't seen this in years. I have to say, the pacing of this is garbage. It can't hold a candle to how they put the 97 video together. It feels like they rushed through everything on this one. It's still nice to relive this team.
Red wings fan here. Arturs Irbe is awesome. This man was unreal. Some scores without him.. i'm sure would look silly 5 or 6 goals for redwings. I honestly think he was the MVP on the series.

The new red wings should watch all 4 of these championship videos…they may be able to learn from these guys lol
DEFINITELY ONE OF THE GREATEST TEAMS OF ALL TIME. BELIEVE THAT.
Carolina a Cinderella story love how their own arrogance lost them that Stanley Cup.
Go Wings.
I’ve always said “This is the best hockey team ever assembled” absolutely loaded with hall of fame players. 🐐 NHL team.
25:34 "the response was loud and clear" …🤦♂️controversial goal

Who picks the music for this? It's pretty awful in some spots with the pan flute and shit lol

It was only fitting they had to play Colorado in the Conference Final that year.
Like Brendan Shanahan said:
"If you're gonna win the Stanley Cup you should have to knock off the defending Cup champs. Don't ask somebody else to do your dirty work for you."
Greatest NHL team ever assembled
Best team ever in nhl history
