Talkin’ Hockey

For the first time since 1995 the Detroit Red Wings and Chicago Blackhawks will meet in the NHL’s Stanley Cup Playoffs. That year saw the Red Wings advance easily beating the Blackhawks 4-1 to advance. This season the young Blackhawks will look to continue their impressive run which has excited their fan base and caused a large increase in Chicago Blackhawks hats & merchandise sales. Red Wings clothing & apparel is always a top-seller, outpacing most every other NFL franchise in apparel sales, and their Stanley Cup Playoff success boosts these sales each season.

So who will win the NHL’s Western Conference Finals in 2009? The Red Wings seem to be the favorite due to experience, but the young Blackhawks have a lot of fire and may just pull the upset.

Can the Red Wing repeat? Will Detroit once again hoist Lord Stanley’s Cup in 2009? This question is asked and answered in the latest article from ProHockey-fans.com Staff Writer Tanner Markell. After losing very few pieces of their Stanley Cup-winning teams from 2007-2008, will the Red Wings repeat as the Stanley Cup Champions is indeed a appropriate question considering the signing of Marian Hossa to a 1-year deal. “Hossa signed with the Wings in hopes of winning a cup for the first time in his career but he has noticed the hangover that has affected all Stanley Cup camps before, over his past 10 seasons” states the article. In addition to the article, the NHL preview has been released as we take a look at the Red Wings in the 2008-2009 NHL Central Division preview. So will the Red Wings repeat? Only time will tell, but I know we all should be excited for another great NHL season.

In what turned out to be a thrilling series, the Detroit Red Wings emerged as the NHL’s top team with a 3-2 Game #6 win on Wednesday night as they top Pittsburgh 4-2 to win the 2008 Stanley Cup. A late flurry of shots made this game a nail-biter down to the final second, but Chris Osgood was able to seal the win for the Red Wings for the franchise’s 11th Stanley Cup Championship. As Detroit Red Wings Championship apparel will no doubt be a hot item in Detroit and throughout the nation, fans are already talking about next year in every other NHL city.
