“I am submitting today, along with my colleague Senator Stabenow, a resolution congratulating the Detroit Red Wings, who on June 13th, 2002, defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 3-1 to win their third Stanley Cup in six years. With this victory, the Wings have further solidified their position as one of the most storied teams in all sports by bringing Lord Stanley's Cup home to Hockeytown for a 10th time. Few doubted that this year's team could make a run at the Cup. Many have argued that this was the greatest hockey roster ever assembled. The last names alone evoke hockey greatness. Along with long time stars like Yzerman, Fedorov, Lidstrom, and Shanahan, this season's team included future hall of famers by the names of Hull, Robitaille, and Hasek. It was a team assembled to win, and in the end, that goal was reached. This is not a story of individual talent, though surely there was a surplus of that. This is a story of teamwork and dedication.”
