Which Red Wing do you think most deserved to hold up the cup?

Question

Self explanatory

Answer 1

None of them. lol  LET"S GO PENS!

Answer 2

Impossible to answer.  Without these gusy - every one of them - there's no Cup in Detroit:

Zetterberg

Osgood

Datsyuk

Draper

Lidstrom

Franzen

Fillpula

Samuellson

Hasek

and I am forgetting many

Answer 3

Dallas Drake. he played with more heart then all 16 playoff teams combined... great to see such a classy guy win the cup after so long.

Answer 4

Dallas Drake...even before the Cheli-peice

Answer 5

Chris Osgood. He didn't allow the Pens to score in the first 2 games. He had help from his defensive teamates though. But I was suprisesd He didn't get the cup passed to him first.

Answer 6

zetterburg didnt do to well in the regular season nothing significant but shined brightly, quite brightly in all of the play offs! he did great tonight!

Answer 7

Dallas Drake.

Answer 8

...Chelios... he deserved to hold the Cup one last time before he keels over... *snicker*

Answer 9

I don't think any ONE player was the most deserving, per se. You could say Lidstrom, Zetterberg, Datsyuk, and Osgood, but what about the other guys that helped get this far? Hasek during the regular season, Franzen in the first few series, Helm stepping up from the juniors, Rafalski, Kronwall, etc, etc.

I did think it was kinda cool for Cleary being the first Newfoundland guy to win the Cup. Same for Lidstrom being the first European captain to win the Cup.

Answer 10

all of them. they are just a great TEAM that deserved what they worked their tails off for.

Answer 11

zetterberg

Answer 12

Chris Osgood...he held the pens to 1 goal a game except for 2 or 3...great games played by BOTH teams

Answer 13

hank!!!!! but of course lindstrom since hes the captain...but if not hank either pav or franzen or drake!!!! this has been an awesome series! especially with the 2 hat tricks franzen had and pav.

Answer 14

Dan Cleary deserved to hold up that cup.  I would second that with Dallas Drake.

Answer 15

Now that's a toughone. I think they all deserve to hold the cup. As to who should hold it first-#40 of course. And then #30.

Answer 16

Crosby?  Are you kidding me?  Did the pens even show up for the finals.  The Wings out played the pens in every game.  don't even ask about the 2 wins the pens had.  Just bad luck.  If you look at how the Wings played all year you would have noticed that Frazen came out of nowhere and he led the playoffs with most goals and misses 6 games in the playoffs.

But don't worry Sid the Kid will hold both trophies, more than once.

Answer 17

NO 1 SIDNEY CROSBY

Answer 18

Dan Cleary-heck-uv-a hockey player.

Answer 19

Osgood - he made some amazing saves.  I have to give a shout out for Danny Clearey #11..  He was right in there on every play, had no fear of the corners, and played with all his heart. I am also a bit bias because I grew up with him and he is the 1st Newfouldlander to get his name on the cup.

Answer 20

Well player wise IMO it was great to see Lidstrom become the first Sweedish born player to raise the cup. I am Canadian but I still love the Wings and I must say a Red Wing that deserved to hold the cup would be the coach Mike Babcock who got his first Stanley Cup victory.

Answer 21

Would have to go with Zetterberg. Really showed off defensive skills many didn't know he had.

I don't think Chelios should have gotten to hold it before Osgood though.

Answer 22

of course Lidstrom. just amazing defenseman
