Red Wings Report

Next year Hossa doesn't want to end up like this.

If you haven't heard, the Wings signed Marian Hossa (yeah one of the Penguins top players) to a one year contract. Just thinking about having Brad Stuart, Nicklas Lidstrom, Niklas Kronwall and Brian Rafalski as our top 4 defensivemen coupled with four guys that are amazing at offense and defense (Hossa, Zetterberg, Franzen and Pavel Datsyuk) makes me so excited for next year. Sometimes things don't go the way you would expect them to, but I'm definitely liking our shot at a repeat next year.

Amazing

(sorry, Sherry for all the sports, but honestly until the Wings win the Cup I doubt I'll be talking about much else)

Valtteri Filppula scored the above goal in dramatic fashion (if you couldn't tell by him being airborne) to give the Wings a 3-0 lead enroute to their second straight Stanley Cup Final victory (and shutout).

Bonus: Pistons have tied up their series with Boston...I think they can win the series as long as Billups stays health (though they are still underdogs in my opinion).
