markjwilderCongratulations to The Detroit Red Wings, who clinched the President's Trophy (for best regular season record) tonight with a 2-0 shutout win over Edmonton. Now then, boys, let's have a good playoff run (likely against the same Edmonton team).
Edited to add: I don't know who maintains the Red Wing's Wikipedia page, but they already have the President's Trophy up there, as well as an updated roster to include Don MacLean who played his first game with the team today (and scored the winning goal). Man, that's dedication.

Date: 2006-04-12 02:37 am (UTC)I think you're right that for Canadian teams, it's easily the leafs (and especially in Ontario, I'm sure), but I think Detroit takes it over all.
I like Toronto, which is surprising since Tie Domi (anagram: Me Idiot) and Ed Belfour are among my least favorite players. Oh, and Lindros.
I don't know if you follow non-Leafs hockey, but just in case: Do you think Yzerman will come back for another year? With the way he's playing, I know he COULD. If they win the cup, though, I don't think he will.

Date: 2006-04-12 02:45 am (UTC)I just want them to play good hockey, and they've done that lately (haven't lost a game in regulation in over a month).
Hockey playoffs are easily the best playoffs in sports (IMHO, of course). I love extra-OT games. My best Red Wings memory is Stevie's 0-0 double-OT goal against St. Louis in... '96? The year before they won the first recent cup. Okay, now that I think about it, my best Red Wings memory was Yzerman lifting the Cup over his head in '97.

Date: 2006-04-12 02:48 am (UTC)97 was, without a doubt, such a great moment. McCarty's Cup-clinching goal. I was jumping up and down and screaming when he made that goal. Of course, I live in a town that forgot about hockey, so I'm the only MF around here who cares anymore.

Date: 2006-04-12 03:11 am (UTC)Another odd story: At that time I participated in Red Wings' usenet groups, and I composed something I called "lord Stanley's Prayer" (read it here, word-for-word as I wrote it). As I was driving to said bowling alley, I was listing to WJR and some guy phoned in with "a prayer the concession vendor on level one at The Joe" had given him. It was, of course, my writing.
When I wrote it, I said to keep my name on it, but it was quickly lost, as was my moment of fame.
