Detroit Red Wings - the most hated team in hockey!

The Soviet Red Army (oops sorry, the Detroit Red Wings) hockey club has won the 2008 Stanley Cup. The are now the most dominant team ever to win the championship. In the process, they have made every non-Wings hockey fan simply hate their guts.

They are like the big Red Soviet machine of the 70's and 80's. The Soviet Union dominated international hockey for almost two decades. The similarities between the old Soviet hockey machine and the current Detroit Red Wings are simply remarkable. They are now the standard that all hockey clubs must match, and the gauntlet has been thrown down. Time will tell if this is a dynasty in the making. I know that when Canada beat Soviet Union in 1987 Canada Cup, the hatred for the Soviet Red Machine was quite evident. When, Canada won, the whole nation of Canada celebrated. Now, if and when the Red Wings lose, the whole nation of hockey will celebrate.
