Salute to the Red Wings

Wow! What a season! I really didn't think I could ask more for the Red Wings than the gritty, blue-collar work that they showed all season. From the drop of the puck in the preseason game to the final sigh of relief and subsequent jubilation after the horn sounded in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, they showed why they are the best. So congratulations to the Detroit Red Wings on winning the 2007-2008 Stanley Cup, showing that you are the best in the NHL. And to prove it, here's the playlist I made on my YouTube account of all 16 Red Wings postseason victories. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YgtvnUAhqA&feature=PlayList&p=472F8126C55571AD&index=0&playnext=1 If that doesn't work, just cut and paste the URL onto the address bar. The videos should be on autoplay, so there's no need to click on the next video. And now, it's time to honor each and every one of the Red Wings players.
