History Will Be Made - Vladimir Konstantinov

Vladimir Konstantinov's story is one of the saddest in sports. However, the Red Wings dedicating the season to him and vowing to repeat as Stanley Cup champions and donning the slogan, "Believe," is one of the greatest stories. The Red Wings came through and successfully defended their championship. This is a clip of Vladi destroying a player that Wings fans love to hate! Go Red Wings!

1 of the greatest physical defenseman to ever play the game. It was sad to see his career cut short but it was great to see the team wheel him out after they cup the next year to celebrate with them. Vlady was a great player and he is missed by all wings fans and loved by all wings fans too.

He was such a great player. I believe the Wings would have won at least 2 more Cups had he not been injured in that crash.

@dimeaday619 I still get choked up about it TODAY. Vladdie's my favorite of the Russian 5. I got a kitten for my birthday nearly 2 years ago and named him after Vladdie. My "Konstantinov" is a force to be reckoned with, too, lol!
