Electrophile 3,554 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 I would have put the 2002 squad first, but the Wings in all three top spots.....works for me! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vladiator 116 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 2002 Wings with out a doubt. The 2008 club should pull a close second. Just a very well team that was put together and coached. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
C-TownWing 0 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 How f-ing sweet is that to stare at 3 Winged Wheels on that poll? And they're easily 1-3 right now. 2002 has to be it for me, with the 9 HOF players and Bowman. Just in terms of pure talent, that might be the best team ever. 2008 gets the edge over 1998 on the basis of defense, which was hard, because being the last team to repeat has to count for something. Right behind us are the Avs, Devils teams and Stars, in that order. At the bottom go the Lighting, Ducks and Hurricanes. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DSM 114 Report post Posted June 5, 2008 To be honest the 2002 Cup would be my least favorite Wings cup in the last 10 years. Don't get me wrong, we earned it and Bowman is the man but I always felt like we bought it. I'm sure I'll get flamed for that, but it's just my opinion. 97/98 would be my favorite. I have so many memories. I was 10 years old when they won the 96/97 cup and I had not been a sports fan in the slightest. When the Red Wings won it, I was completely sold and I was obsessed with the DRW. To this day 11 years later, the room I occupy in my parents basement is completely RW decorated. Watching the 97/98 playoffs was practically my religion when I was 11. 07/08 would be second. I thought it was exciting watching the team only slightly rebuild but retain a lot of its core. We brought in a good crew of heart and soul type guys like McCarty, Drake and my favorite Downey who all made the Red Wings that much more exciting to watch this season. I'm just so happy.
