Never forget it!!!! Go Wings!!!!!

I have a picture of the Olimipia rink. They actually had what looks like chicken wire around the top of the boards instead of glass....Old picture, everyone wore hats then and there were men at ice level smoking cigars!!!!! Funny.....

I cannot express my joy right now! This was definately 3 years in the making for D-town. They have dominated the NHL since the Lockout, when everyone said they would fall off because of the salary cap. Holland and Illitch proved them all wrong. NO TEAM deserves this more, imo!

Gotta give it up to Babcock for putting the right matchups out there!
