I hate that track by Freddie Le Grand, but it seems to be fitting for this article.

I guess a congratulations are in order to Detroit, who once again have destroyed pretty much any team that dared step in their path on the road to victory.

For the last season, this team had ruled the division, striking fear into any rival teams fan base, who would always have to look on the brighter side, at statistics, data to make them feel confident in their team winning. For a team that lost just 21 games last season however, supporting the Red Wings was most likely just a usual, yup – we can do it.

The Penguins worked hard, but obviously their power was no match for the cannons of Detroit, losing epically in the first game of the final series and pulling themselves up from the rubble and conquering them in the third. An intense set of OT periods in the fifth game gave a final glimmer of hope to the Pens, but it was not to happen, and after a great attempt, they fell like the 10 other teams did before them.

All in all, its been an interesting series, with the previous champions, Anaheim falling early on, the underdogs of Dallas finally going beyond series one and the collapse of Colorado to Detroit. We will be writing a more detailed report on the ups, the downs and what went on this year in another article, so be sure to stay set for that.

And lastly, for the second time in this century, and millennium the cup will be headed to the crumbling Motor City – I suppose if its any solace for the people of Detroit, their city can defiantly be regarded as one of the great hockey cities of America.

Im KevKev, and if your a Detroit fan, and the hangover is finally lifting, thank you for joining us.
