The Detroit Red Wings rode two old goalies, a half-dozen Swedish imports, talented youngsters and experienced veterans to a title.
Henrik Zetterberg capped off a Conn Smythe-winning postseason by scoring the game-winner in the third period, as the Wings beat the Pens, 3-2, to clinch the 11th Stanley Cup Championship in franchise history.
The Red Wings' players, coaches and staff will participate in a parade to celebrate the 2008 Stanley Cup championship on Friday, June 6 starting at 11 a.m. EDT. The parade will end with a celebration rally at Hart Plaza in downtown Detroit.
Having been a Wings fan since I was a kid and having been in Michigan for most of the Stevie Y era, I can still say this was the best of all Red Wings teams in the last 30 years.
