Red Wings Win the Cup

For the third straight year, the Red Wings will hoist the Stanley Cup.

However, for the first time, the Cup was handed off to Henrik Zetterberg. This moment is a defining moment in what is a new era of Red Wings hockey.

Continuing on the thought of a new era, James Van Riemsdyk (acquired in the Datsyuk deal) was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy for excellence in the Stanley Cup finals. He had at least a point in each game, and only lacked points in one game over the whole playoffs. Pavel Datsyuk had won the previous 2.

In terms of the clinching game itself, the Red Wings were able to cash in on the powerplay. In the first period, they were able to convert on both halves of a double minor.

An exciting offseason is set to begin. We have 2 first round picks (acquired at the trade deadline) as we continue to aggresively pursue talented youth in both Free Agency and the Draft.
