CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!
The Captain hoisted the ultimate
prize and Hockeytown went nuts and a summer-long party began... Bowman
strapped on the skates, the Russians got drunk for the first time ever,
Osgood ran around interviewing reporters, Shanahan went home to shave and
they played "December 1963" on the P.A. Yzerman's first Cup will be long
remembered in Detroit City. Whatta Stevie, whatta night!
Oh, what a night it was! Early June back in '97, the Wings won the Stanley
Cup for the first time in 42 long years.
