Honoring the 1997 Cup Champions: The introductions

Watch the 1997 Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings gather at center ice one more time at the Joe.

[@edvinsjostrom1197]

The goosebumps when Konstantinov entered

[@Kravis63]

Man, the Red Wings really make up for all the Lions misery. What an incredibly classy, fan friendly, and winning organization.

[@nirvanaguitar]

And we're coming back baby!

[@funkycoldzadina]

It's always nice seeing Vladdy again. I remember this team so well. I can't believe it's been 25 years!

[@user-ic4lh9dh1r]

А мне приятно видеть как трибуны приветствуют Дарена Маккартни.

[@kotkotoff4755]

From Russia with respect & love!!!!

[@stevedrums1675]

I'm a Rangers fan, but also recognize greatness. Vladi was as ferocious a competitor as has EVER played the game. It is that toughness that enabled him to survive the unthinkable. I'm so happy the Detroit fans continue to take him into their hearts. I also forget how tough this team was. Loved Kocur as a Ranger, but he's definitely a Wing.

[@MPDLR]

Thanks! I been a Redwings fan since 1987 despite having to move to multiple different states. Gerard Gallant was #17, our assistant Captain, Steve Yzerman's best buddy - and a great player I really loved him. Hence - I'm an honorary Rangers fan this playoffs! Coach Gallant - good man. He was great player - he scored well but also he was scrappy - took on any enforcer he had to take on.

[@stevedrums1675]

@@MPDLR: Gallant used to routinely come into MSG and literally beat the sh$t out of the Rangers!!! Love him as a coach.

If I had a time machine Id stop Vladdy from getting in that lino.

If I had a time machine I’d beat the donkey shit out of that driver before he ever got a chance to get behind the wheel

He provided the last assist that ended the drought.

RIP MIKE ILITCH! No wonder why he was not at the reunion

Номер 16 надо вывести из оборота в Детройте Константинов💪💪💪Легендарный игрок!!!Великий человек!!!

[@AustinZhangyay]

wonder if Konstantinov still remembers everything

[@mikegrey5663]

I'm sure he does if not in his brain in his heart

[@MiggyRules]

It’s so sad for Konstantinov too. It breaks my heart seeing him like that, I wish the accident never happened for him. He could have a great career.

[@Yzerman1991]

Every one of those players would gladly give that Cup back if it meant 16 and the trainer didn't have that happen to them. It was such a high that first week after they finally got over the hump...but it all ended that night.

[@Wisesongs24]

I wish the Wings would put the “C” and “A” back on the left side of the jersey again. I know it’s not a big deal and I know back in the day they used to be on the right shoulder but I just prefer the way the look being on the left side 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@steviejanowski2439]

Great memories

[@patriciastark1951]

What a team so many great players

[@ignisursulus9635]

Look at all these guys walking on their feetsies (and wheelies)

[@bmoni3663]

By far the best hockey team ever assembled

[@Danny-bd2fc]

I was there!

Jamie Pushor's hair holy shit

[@mattmacdonald3826]

apparently my aunt dated Joe Kocur... thats pretty cool

[@sparrow-we7ip]

The only problem i had with introduction. Wasn't Holmer wearing 15 in 1997???

[@Scandinavian1962]

That's true.....but 96 is still Homer.

[@nba_fanboy_0425]

That was before the tomas Sandstorm trade, I think.

[@shadytnu24]

that was my quibble too...and it's admittedly a small one...but he wore 15 the entire season

[@teddyjun1]

@@nba_fanboy_0425 sandstorm wore 28 that year. Homer was forced to change his number from 15 to well known 96 due to a guy named dimitri mironov, Boris’ older brother.

No Sergei?!?

[@creepingbert]

I wonder if Tim Taylor's nickname was "toolman"??

[@Ferbey147]

Why did they miss #91 Fedorov??

I think he was in the KHL at this time and couldn't attend because of it

[@kalakukko6979]

@@mikegrey5663 No, Fedorov played for Red Wings from 1990 to 2003 so he obviously was part of the winning team. But you meant that he was in KHL during this ceremony that's wrong too because he retired in 2012.

what a pathetic franchise the red wings have become these last few years. Howe would be disappointed.
