Stanley Cup Playoffs

Last night we traveled to Detroit and attended the Detroit Red Wings hockey game. As you can imagine hockey is very big in this area. Last year the Detroit Red Wings won the Stanley Cup which it the "Hockey Super Bowl". The Red Wings have been in Detroit for over 80 years and the people here love them.

Last night the Red Wings played the Chicago Blackhawks for game 5 of the Western Conference Championship. Detroit and Chicago are huge rivals because they are so close to each other. Detroit won the game in overtime and it was pandemonium. This was by far the most exciting professional sports game we have ever been to. It was loud; very loud, very high energy and non stop action. The Red Wings will now play the Pittsburg Penquins in a 7 game series for the Stanley Cup Championship. Coincidentally the Red Wings defeated the Penguins to win the Cup last season.
