being a true fan....

to all the Red Wings' fans,do not be upset with the season past for the Wings... after the Olympic break,Red Wings were the best team in the NHL,because they were healthy,for basically the first time,since opening week of the season... they showed NHL,who they were,and no one wanted to play them in the playoffs... the series against Phoenix was a very good one,and even though,Phoenix refused to give up,they did not have enough firepower,to get past Red Wings,and their defense... the series,against San Jose looked like a blowout,in number of games,but Detroit did score more goals in series(thanks to a 7-1 blowout,in game four),but Red Wings gave away game three,in third period,and overtime,at the Joe Louis Arena,which was the series turning point,and that was it for Red Wings... be a true fan of Red Wings,and hockey,and truly understand that Red Wings were injured,as a team,most of the year... Howard had a great rookie year,and was MVP,of the Red Wings,period... the number of shutouts suffered this season were high,but injuries caused a lack of offense,and,sometimes,a lack of tight defense... as a fan,i am very proud of what Mike Babcock,and the Red Wings did this year... they will be back next season,hungry for another run for Stanley.... never give up,true Red Wings' fans...
