Woohoo!!! The Red Wings beat the Penguins last night 3-2 in a too-close-for-comfort game 6 to win their 4th Stanley Cup in 11 years!!! I was so excited! (Katie I'm sorry I tackled you after we won!) The Wings were the better team and deserved to win. I almost cried seeing Nickie lift the the Cup. He was so happy. And Ozzie played great, we couldn't have done it without him. Gotta love Ozzie. I'm so lucky to have such a great hockey team. :) (I guess this is my karmic reward for being a Lions fan.)
Fun facts: Nicklas Lidstrom became the first European born captain to win the Stanley Cup. My Nik (Kronwall) broke a Red Wings record for points by a defenseman in the playoffs. The Wings had more European players than North Americans skating for them. Eight former Griffins are now going to have their names on the Stanley Cup. (That may be the sweetest one of all...watching all my old Griffin boys all grown up and winning the Cup!) I bought a Zetterberg jersey this year and he ended up winning the Conn Smythe trophy (playoff MVP). Coincidence? I think not!
I'm so glad the Wings won the Cup during my last playoffs in Michigan (at least for a few years). What a nice way to go out. :)
