After a long wait, and a couple upsets, the Wings were victorious. And it was beautiful. It was a great game and a great series, but the experience prevailed. The cup returns home to Hockeytown. Ok I admit it, I cried like a little girl when the game ended, and for most of the hour after the game, it was amazing. Absolutely beautiful. In such a depressing America, with the economy in the crapper and our men fighting a pointless war, it is refreshing to have this joy in my life. I will however complain about the scheduling of the victory parade, this Friday. Why not push it one more day so I can go on my day off? Grrr… Regardless the Detroit Red Wings are the 2008 National Hockey League Stanley Cup Champions. Life is good.
