It was great...while it lasted!

Well, it has come to an end. Another great Red Wings season. Full of ups and downs, good games and games where I wondered if they could use some help from the 7 year old kid who lives in my house and wants to play with them someday. Now the game of who will and who won't return begins, rebuilding and dreaming of the next run for the cup. Overall, it was an incredible run. If someone could do something about us being in the Western conference I'd be all for that. The time zone thing in the end I think does play a factor, I know they are professionals and would be able to get past it. Maybe they should. In the end I still stand and applaud them for a being a team that played through 2 rounds of the playoffs and coming out ahead. A team that proved that while Stevie Y will never be replaced or forgotten, that he is the past and the future is up ahead with different guys stepping up to the line. A team that heard that commentators loved to mention also lost my personal favorite Shanahan, and while they kept saying they couldn't do it without him, they proved that even his talent spoke of the past not the future.
We took our flag down today. Have no fear it will be flying high again next season as the Wings go one step further and advance to the Stanley Cup finals. It's not over till it truly is over around here.
