Winning Stanley never grows old
Bob Wojnowski / The Detroit News
PITTSBURGH -- They had waited long enough and skated hard enough, endured sudden turns and crushing twists, until finally, finally, the Red Wings went ahead and took what they had to have, what they've been chasing all year, what they've always believed was theirs.
They took it in gasping, grasping fashion -- fitting fashion, really -- with Chris Osgood swiping at Pittsburgh's final, desperate shot. As the puck slid perilously past the open goal, the crowd shrieked and the final horn sounded, and then the Wings leaped in celebration and launched another rollicking Detroit summer.
In another terrific showcase of drama, the Wings beat the Penguins, 3-2, on Wednesday to win the Stanley Cup. They took this Cup with cool force, in their classically composed way, rolling into an enemy arena and quelling the noise.
