After further review of the pic, yeah, can see hockey jerseys and blood lust on faces of the fans so has to be a hockey crowd. Ice hockey is always cool! Hope your team did well.
Marty McSorley, enforcer and bodyguard for the Great One, Wayne Gretzky. Younger bro Chris sounds like cut from same mold.
I download replay games from nhltorrents.com, a UK based site. Lots of NHL and international games available. Actually enjoy watching international play with wider and longer rinks. A lot more skill required which is probably why the Swedes, Russians and Czechs are so good at it but Canada still rules!

Hold it !!! I said Hoooooooooold it a cotton pickin' minute!!! Just because they won the "Lord Stanley" (British) Cup, made in London, doesn't give them the right to be "WORLD" Champions. After all they have so far only beaten North American and Canadian opposition. When they have played and beaten the best teams in the rest of the world, then (and only then) can they be World TEAM Champions........ The World Champs are for Internationals if you remember . Assuming that they did get to play the best in Europe, they would, I have no doubt, spend so much time taking 5 & 10 min "majors", that they would be beaten out of sight.polehawk wrote:Detroit Swedish Red Wings? That's cool but also call them THE 2008 WORLD CHAMPIONS OF HOCKEY!!! Nicklas Lidstrom, captain of the team, and MVP Henrik Zetterberg both played out of this world.
Mostly European players on the Red Wings but you make a valid point. They probably would have a tough matchup with a few of the national teams with players who have played together as a cohesive unit for several years but the Detroit Red Wings with their international mix of skilled players at every position would, no doubt, prevail in any contest. Let's hear it for the World Champs!! =D>
The players are allowed to travel to their hometowns with Lord Stanley's Cup during the off-season so it will be seen in Sweden, Finland, Czechoslavakia, Russia, Canada and the US over the next few months. Make your travel reservations early, stat.
Seriously, the Pittsburgh Penguins gave Detroit all they could handle and have a core of young, gifted players in Crosby, Malkin and Fleury who will be back to win the Stanley Cup.
