The greatest team I've ever seen. Fedorov, Yzerman, Shanahan, Brett Hull, Luc Robitaille, Datsyuk (as a rookie), Draper and Larionov on offence, Lidstrom and Chelios on defence, and Hasek in net. I don't think I'll ever see another team like this. I really want another dynasty to appear in hockey.
I just bought myself a Detroit Red Wings Steve Yzerman jersey complete with the 2002 Stanley Cup patch from when they won the cup that year...I have followed the Red Wings since their back to back cups in the late 90's till now...I'm a leaf fan at heart but I'll wear the red winged wheel when the games matter most in the playoffs!
Detroit is my 2nd favorite team next to Toronto!!! Go Leafs & Red Wings!!!
2011 Stanley Cup Champs - Detroit !!! Do it for Lidstrom,Datsyuk,Zetterberg & Mike Modano
Of all the national U.S. hockey broadcasters, I think Gary, Bill, and Darren Pang were my favorites, Mike Emrick and John Davidson probably second. Def better than the Versus-NBC broadcasts. I hope ESPN and Versus could maybe work out some type of deal to both air nationally-televised hockey games some time soon.
The greatest one year team ever assembled.There were all-stars at almost every position on this team.This was the best team of the decade.God I would love to see this team play the older dynasty teams of yesterday like the Canadiens,Islanders,Oilers,and even the broad street bullies.
@RedWingsFan2010 im a die hard wings fan but i have noticed that the sports media and the reffing has been against detroit since they won the 08 stanley cup. i mean look what happens when the refs have to much power and the media wants certain teams to win. the sharks cheated the whole series last season. now detroit needs to take control and kick ass like they did in against phoenix in game 7.
@mcnallyrd3 i totally notcied tht as wel evything tht had to do wit the 09 finals was agains worked against detroit and dnt evn get me started on the sharks series lst spring
@mcnallyrd3 Definitely. The Wings oddly enough are one of the most hated teams out there and it reflects in the officiating. The Wings have been dominant and they are hated for it, nevermind the fact that they just flat out play hockey unlike any other team and outclass the rest of the league.
Bettman acts like he likes this team because they are so stacked but he created the salary cap to keep this from happening. What a hypocite. He's lieing through his teeth when he presents the cup
@chrisX412slayer ha your prolly a gay crosby lover if you couldnt tell that he got handed the cup then you dont kno hockey malkin carried him and almost every player on detroits roster is better than crosby if you think about it makes sense
@apdanglez I am a gay crosby lover. Grow up kid. Malkin carried him? Malkin is easily better than any member on the detroit red wings roster. All the redwings roster is old and washed up players. All this hating on Crosby is getting old. Everybody is mad they don't have star players like him on their team.
@chrisX412slayer you make me laugh ha datsyuk zetterberg lidstrom helm flippua cleary holmstrom if you look at those player their all better than crosby and malkin and crosby had 1 goal in the final when they won cause zetterberg shut him down so malkin and gonchar actually did carry him
@chrisX412slayer easly better then y dose prob 80-90% of the red wings have 3 times the amout of stanly cup play off games and or rings explain that one and yes i know some have been playin more but those who have been playin the same time still have seen more playoffs/ stanley cups so suck it
man this team had to be one of the best teams ever. Hasek, Yzerman, Shanahan, Fedorov, Hull, Lidstrom, Robitaille, Larionov, Chelios, Datsyuk, Draper, Holmstrom, Maltby, McCarty. They had guys on their 4th line that would be on many team's 2nd lines. Guys like Holmstrom and Datsyuk today on the 1st line, many Hall of Famers, maybe the best goalie of all time.
@Sinoque0aka0Stephen, left out Brodeur, not that I think he sucks its just a matter of preference, I never liked his style that much. Hasek was a no brainer given how many vezina's he won so closely together... from 93-94 to 00-01 he won 6
@theproducerspart2 as much as i loved this cup win and all the players part of it how can you argue the 1997 win! my god it ended 42 years of misery and finally gave yzerman the cup he and this city deserved!!!
I honestly can say sergei isnt coming back anytime soon I think there was a dispute between him and the wings after 2002 he wanted out. Common man we have pavel and hank we've got plenty of talent and new opportunites with ablekader, leino and helm!
Best hockey team ever assembled!

One of the great teams in hockey history, my favorite all-time player with Yzerman, and one of the greatest goalies ever.

man this team had to be one of the best teams ever. Hasek, Yzerman, Shanahan, Fedorov, Hull, Lidstrom, Robitaille, Larionov, Chelios, Datsyuk, Draper, Holmstrom, Maltby, McCarty. They had guys on their 4th line that would be on many team's 2nd lines. Guys like Holmstrom and Datsyuk today on the 1st line, many Hall of Famers, maybe the best goalie of all time.
