Lots of red but no bull in this post! Well, just a bit--despite being as useful as the USPS, Canada's mail system decided to work for a bit, so I was fortunate enough to be one of the recipients of another trade package from
Doug over at SCFtDS! Hopefully the American version will be functioning whenever Canada's gets back to some semblance of normalcy.
Anyway, Doug provided plenty of goodies--in fact, enough for a two-part trade post, which means there's even more to see
over at TMM this evening.
But that's for after this post. Here's the TMV content you're here to see:
Cleary was the first Newfie to win a Cup thanks to Detroit's last win in 2008. Datsyuk was a team stalwart for 14 seasons before understandably heading back home after this year. Draper was an often underappreciated key cog of four Cup teams. Ellis played parts of two seasons with the Wings before heading to the Kings, then seven more seasons with Buffalo. Filppula put up eight solid seasons with the Wings, good enough to earn a free agent contract with Steve Yzerman's Lightning. Lidstrom needs no introduction as he's one of the greatest players in franchise history. And Osgood was also underappreciated by many fans, but was part of three Cup-winners, starting most of the games for two of those squads.
And Hank gets his own scan thanks to this five-card bounty. Zetterberg has put up more than 300 goals in his 13-year career and was also part of the 2008 Cup-winning squad. The Ultra insert celebrates his feat of scoring 13 goals in the playoffs that year as the Wings defeated the Penguins. He put up double-digit playoff goals--11--the following year as well as Detroit fell to the Pens in a rematch.
This bunch of Wings brings back some nice memories of some of Detroit's best recent teams and players, so thanks for sending them my way, Doug! I'll respond in kind whenever you give me the go-ahead.
Please make sure to
head over to TMM this evening for the rest of the loot!
