The Evil Empire marches on.

When does my team finally crack the ranks of champions to hoist Lord Stanley's Cup?

Should have held onto Ozzie...

It used to be the knock that The Wings just went out and bought Hall of Famers to win cups. But look at all the guys on that team tonight. Dan Cleay made the team on a tryout after his old team gave up on him. kris Draper won his fourth cup, he cost Detroit $1. Dallas Drake was thought to be washed up, came to Detroit for one last go.

Datzuk, Holmstrom, Lidstrom, Franzen; these guys are all fifth and sixth round draft choices by the Wings. Someone is a great judge of talent.

we just didn't want to pay what he wanted.

Side note on this one...I still blame Gretzky for the OT loss when Stevie Y ended the series a few years back.

Just a little something to let you know how we're feeling tonight in this fair state. :-)

The trouble with our friend John McCain isn't that he's ignorant, it just that he knows so much that isn't so.

Kidding! Congrats, Hockeytown.

The Heineken Cup features real athletes playing a man’s game. It no doubt tastes better too.

Boo-Yeah!

Since you missed it, I changed my tag just for you. :-) Hey, we're still celebrating out here. Ann Arbor, MI-all of the Detroit sports with none of the looting, thugs and crime (and those are just the politicians) :-)

Can we get a rundown of the teams that you support...I've lost track considering the number of places that you have lived.

Red Wings, Pistons, Bulls, White Sox, Bears, Cowboys and Lakers for the next 4-7 games. (I love Phil Jackson and Kobe is the best player in the NBA. Also, I hate Boston and everything they stand for.)

you must become a Wolverine and Eagle (HURON) fan too

But yeah, I've actually always been a Wolverines fan even when I was in Illinois, until this year where I started to root for Illinois and Michigan equally.
