Hockey Joy

Can I just say I am so proud of my Red Wings! What a game yesterday! Despite being without their captain Lidstrom and key players Datsuk and Draper they rallied and stepped up and played a fantastic game, making Chicago look like the inexperienced and undisciplined team they are. While the Hawks were busy skating around trying to exact "revenge" for Kronwall's supposed bad hit on Havlat from Game Three we went on to win a hockey game. And I was so happy to See Marion Hossa play such a wonderful game and get some pucks in the net. He has been working so hard, and it is about time he gets some pay off for it.

Overall, the Red Wings demonstrated why they are so amazingly good... the depth on the team is simply unmatched. There is not one or two star players... it is a team of all truly skilled hockey players that all have the capability of being the star on any given night which maybe is not as exciting for the media people because they cannot fixate on just one person (like a Sidney Crosby), but it sure works for this fan.

Now we are one game away from returning to the Stanley cup finals for the second year in a row. If Pittsburgh follows and returns as well it will be the first time since 1983 that the same two teams have consecutively played one another for Lord Stanley. Whew.

Let's finish out Chicago in Game Five. GO WINGS!
