As a Blackhawks fan, that Darren Helm solo PK was a thing of beauty

[@HallowCash]

Franzen taking Kanes mouth guard out of his mouth 😂😂😂 that was amazing

[@danglesnipecelly13]

Man I miss these days! After 09 things were never the same. This was the last season the wings were so elite! The Hawks were young and just weren't ready for the wings.......Should have won cup back 2 back seasons 😕

[@jleif7736]

Wings were elite after this season, but teams were more elite..

[@zackcoolman28]

This series is where the Blackhawks learned how to win

[@scottdecker9115]

I agree. I am a Red Wings fan, but I tip my cap to the Blackhawks for the tremendous effort in this series, and I knew it wouldn't be long before they would be in Detroit's shoes and top-notch Stanley Cup contenders for years to come.

[@joeydembeck6232]

That hit by kronner on havlat was 100 percent clean, refs just wanted the wings to lose

[@Bah56]

Nothing better than playoff goalie duels. Those saves by Osgood and Huet in the last minute of game 5. Good god.

[@murch13]

Osgood never really got enough credit. And watching franzen here I can see why he was chosen over Hossa...you can see the injuries from the previous series starting to add up...Hossa, datsyuk, and then they had to get through the pens....this was the year that was always a bitter memory, nice to see it now when the ending of it all isn't so freshly painful...looking forward to the 2009 finals video (sort of) maybe I'll skip the ending Thanks again for the hard work and posting!

[@awood40]

murch13 Franzen was re-signed before the playoffs started... and thanks, but I'm not doing a video for the Final.

[@kenbaum9035]

Ozzie never did get the credit your right. I always thought Hossa would have been the better sign he was more consistent in his career than Franzen was.

[@jaredescareno7191]

When the redwings lost the cup that year it was essentially the end of an era. We haven't been cup contenders since

[@owenl.8885]

We had a great shot 2013. We had most of this roster and we choked a 3-1 lead against the hawks. Idk how we would have done against the kings in the WCF though.

[@colemanb.7223]

@@owenl.8885 my assumption is that you would have beat them. You basically were even with the Hawks, and the Hawks beat the Kings rather easily

[@jjfjfkrkfj6072]

@@owenl.8885 I think we had a shot in 2011 too. We were close to beating the Sharks. We also had even more of this roster than we did in 2013. I feel like we had a good chance against the Canucks too

[@macmac3374]

The refs seemed to get worse after the 09 finals screw job. Didn't matter what the wings did, they were always shorthanded. Never seen a team get screwed as much as the wings.

[@HallowCash]

Game four at Chicago when the arena was silent due to the big red wings lead, the announcer said "this arena sounds like 2 years ago" And hawk fans claim to have been fans for forever

[@poorwhitepeoplearefailures2396]

This series was a lot nastier than I remember. In many ways this and the Ducks series probably cost us the cup due to all the injuries (Hossa tearing his rotator cuff, Datsyuk one leg, Lidstrom getting his scrotum busted open)

[@greatdude7645]

I miss this team

[@aldenkajy3087]

Ohh I was at this game. I have chills when I see/ hear helms goal 😍

[@SuperSparrow45]

Detroit is where Chicago learned how to become a dynasty. First with the Bulls, then with the hawks.

[@Breckzyy]

After watching all of these Highlights....Osgood is literally the only reason we got as far as we did.

[@Breckzyy]

look at his saves. hes standing on his head.

[@acethirsk9281]

Kronwall hit on Havlat was 100% clean. League just doing work for chicago. Dustin Byfuyglin got away with a punch. What a stupid call. Byfuglyn types of players have to start a scrum every time someone on their team gets hit. Absolute non sense.

[@jeremysimoni]

Man I don't give a fuck what anybody says Chris Osgood is the most underrated goalie I have ever seen

[@alkarinv1192]

That Call against Kronwall around 21:00 total bullshit. Yet they didn't call the guy that hit him. Ugh all of my rage.

[@nicholasduran6253]

I miss hossa

[@davidbojarski2423]

I was there game 1 the 5-2 win

[@nolanscripture]

And here we see the last time Cleary was a useful player.

[@trevorbarg4066]

I was just about to make that comment lmao

[@davidkruse4030]

that isnt true at all. you need to check the 2013 playoffs. You wings fans love to hate cleary. 'He was useful until 2013

[@king18722]

Even 5 years ago Hockey had more grit and toughness !

[@Elliesbow]

the 08/09 wings taught the hawks how to win the cup. Still salty the wings blew it in 09..

[@HockeyTown-fb4pg]

Are you doing another one of these videos for the rest of our series wins? As always, great video Awood!

[@ericksheldon3870]

it’s so weird watching this now since Patrick Kane has now signed with the Red Wings.

[@macmac3374]

Man the refs had it out for the wings that whole year. Made every win that much better. Wings took so many cheapshots from every team that went uncalled. Wings should have won the cup in 09.

[@acethirsk9281]

Im a penguins fan and yea I'll admit this. The refs were biased against the wings against the hawks 100%

[@samuelattias148]

Go Wings Go!

[@zeusthechosen]

33:51 I threw it on the ground

[@willberthepig]

This reminds me how much I used to hate having to listen to the main NBC announcer.

[@macmac3374]

Doc sucks. Hated him for years. His voice is so annoying. He is worse then Joe Buck

[@alexevanoski4588]

The Red Wings need to move back to the Western conference. I miss the Blackhawks vs Red Wings rivalry. It also I believed helped the western conference with ratings and draw.

[@hockeyboy379]

Amen

[@calvinshields7565]

Nice

[@vladimirwhite5506]

Cool 👍

[@joeydembeck6232]

Almost forgot how dirty the shithawks used to be 💀

[@laquiabrown5158]

[@zumzumman5135]

All im seeing is red wing greatness... and then Ericsson being ericsson
