PITTSBURGH ? Nick Lidstrom handed the Stanley Cup to Dallas Drake first, and now it?s on to Hockeytown. The Detroit Red Wings are champions for the fourth time in 12 years.
Brian Rafalski, Valtteri Filppula and Henrik Zetterberg scored in a 3-2 victory that gave Detroit the series over the Pittsburgh Penguins four games to two Wednesday night.
?It was just a great effort by everyone,? said Lidstrom, the outstanding Swedish defenceman who became the first European to captain an NHL title team.
Commissioner Gary Bettman handed Lidstrom the silver trophy, telling him it was his ?to take to Hockeytown.?
Drake of Rossland, B.C., finally earned a Stanley Cup ring to cap his 16th NHL campaign.
?I can?t believe it,? said Drake. ?We?ve got a tremendous group of guys who want to win more than anybody I?ve been around.
?I just can?t be more thankful right now.? Many of the Red Wings said the will to win for the 39-year-old Drake was an inspiration that drove them to work for it as hard as they could
