Description:

2008 Stanley Cup Champions! I love my team and have watched them since they were the dead wings just before they signed Steve Yzerman though I wasn’t a huge fan just yet. I followed them through the years, watched faces come and go, loved the bruise brothers since that was what we were most feared of in those days, watching Yzerman become one of the greatest captains in history, observing team player changes and personnel, all the additions of greats like Bowman, Hull, Shanahan, Robitaille, Larionov, Coffey, Sheppard, Verbeek, Ciccarelli, Carson, Murphy, Hasek, and many more. Now with the salary cap Detroit has still remained on top and with acquisitions like Marian Hossa and all the young prospects waiting in the wings, the Red Wings look they are in a perfect position for defending their 2008 Stanley Cup.
