PITTSBURGH ? Nick Lidstrom handed the Stanley Cup to Dallas Drake first, and now it?s on to Hockeytown. The Detroit Red Wings are champions for the fourth time in 12 years.
Brian Rafalski, Valtteri Filppula and Henrik Zetterberg scored in a 3-2 victory that gave Detroit the series over the Pittsburgh Penguins four games to two Wednesday night.
?It was just a great effort by everyone,? said Lidstrom, the outstanding Swedish defenceman who became the first European to captain an NHL title team.
Commissioner Gary Bettman handed Lidstrom the silver trophy, telling him it was his ?to take to Hockeytown.?
Drake of Rossland, B.C., finally earned a Stanley Cup ring to cap his 16th NHL campaign.
?I can?t believe it,? said Drake. ?We?ve got a tremendous group of guys who want to win more than anybody I?ve been around.
?I just can?t be more thankful right now.? Many of the Red Wings said the will to win for the 39-year-old Drake was an inspiration that drove them to work for it as hard as they could

Hey, one of these days you're going to be banned for not capitalizing anything. You might as well get your money's worth right now. :p

It's going to be tough not being able to root for my favorite player.

He had the injury at the end of the season, as well as his transition to Pittsburgh, but I think he'll get more than 29 next year.. who do you think he'll play with? Datsyuk and Zetterberg? That line is going to be insane. Three of the best two-way forwards in the NHL. Ugh.
