97 cup. It was the first time I seen a DET team win any championship. Super invested with the Red Wings flags on my mom's suburban windows. Hats, shirts, just started playing hockey myself, Stanley the octopus from Little ceasers. " I want stanley" song.
SO hyped, what a time to be alive. No one even posted on the internet yet either.
( Though there was those weird chat rooms on AOL that you talked to literal strangers!?!?!? )
Brawl is pretty high up there too... Grandpa was giving wise-owl advice to me as to why this/that happened/is happening that night. lol.
Lidstrom's goal from center ice vs Vancouver that lead to a Stanley cup run after being down 2-0 in the first round also sticks out. IDK why. It was a HUGE goal at the time though.
