from Phil Coffey of NHL.com,
The Detroit Red Wings and Pittsburgh Penguins have a huge act to follow today after a host of Red Wings legends stole the show at the Stanley Cup Final Sunday.
The NHL has embarked on a new tradition of honoring the game’s greats during the Stanley Cup Final. Last year, an array of Montreal Canadiens luminaries were honored in Ottawa and their reminiscences were priceless. Sunday night at the Marriott Detroit at Renaissance Center, Gordie Howe, Ted Lindsay, Marcel Pronovost, Alex Delvecchio, Marty Pavelich and Red Kelly proved equally eloquent about the Red Wings’ dynasty that won the Stanley Cup in 1950, ‘52, ‘54 and ‘55.
Update 7:22pm ET: Cam Cole of the Vancouver Sun relates the evening a to be a grand success, remarking that “every now and then, Gary Bettman’s league gets something absolutely, spot-on perfect.”
