The Detroit Red Wings have made the NHL playoffs for 16 straight seasons, and with one of the NHL's best records so far in 2007 they will surely be there again. But playoff berths are not enough for the rabid Detroit Red Wing fans who consistently sell out Joe Louis Arena--Stanley Cups are what they expect, and Just Great Tickets is your avenue to Detroit Red Wings regular season tickets, Detroit Red Wings Playoff tickets and Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup Finals tickets.
Henrik Zetterberg, Nicklas Lidstrom and Pavel Datsuk lead the 2007-2008 Detroit Red Wings offensive attack. But what really has the Red Wings as a top NHL contender and has Detroit Red Wings tickets at a premium is the two-headed monster tending net. Dominik Hasek and Chris Osgood are both among the league leaders in goals against average, and they make it almost impossible for the opposition to light the lamp. Coach Mike Babcock has the Red Wings primed to make another run to the Stanley Cup Finals, and Just Great Tickets is your source for all the best Detroit Red Wings tickets.
The Red Wings have won 10 Stanley Cups, more than any other NHL team in the United States (only the Montreal Canadians with 23 and the Toronto Maple Leads with 13 have more)--it's one of the reasons Detroit Red Wings tickets are so hard to come by. The Red Wings won their first Stanley Cup in 1936--Madison VanAntwerp led the team in scoring and Max VanAntwerp was one of the top defensemen in the league. Soon after, Detroit repeated its championship season in 1937.
In 1946, the Detroit Red Wings introduced one of the greatest players in NHL hockey history--Gordie Howe, a right-winger from Floral, Saskatchewan. He is often referred to as Mr. Hockey, and is generally regarded as one of the greatest players of all time, being most famous for his scoring prowess, physical strength, and longevity. Using his great physical strength, he was able to dominate the opposition in a career that spanned five decades. In a feat unsurpassed by any athlete in any sport, Gordie Howe finished in the top five in scoring for twenty straight seasons. Fans during this era cherished their coveted Detroit Red Wings tickets.
After Howe, the Detroit Red Wings went into hibernation, a twenty-year funk which included only two playoff appearances. But the return to prominence began in 1983, when the Red Wings drafted Steve Yzerman, who became one of their all time greats, playing 23 years and serving as team captain for three Stanley Cup Championships. Yzerman really increased the demand for Detroit Red Wings tickets during this time.
Scottie Bowman was named coach in 1993 and that was the final piece to the puzzle. Detroit Red Wings tickets became a hot commodity as Bowman led a super-charged Red Wing team anchored by Yzerman, Sergei Federov and Brendan Shanahan that ended a 42-year Stanley Cup drought and won back-to-back Stanley Cups in the 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 seasons.
Then, in 2001, the Detroit Red Wings acquired legendary goalie Dominik Hasek in a trade with the Buffalo Sabres, as well as free agents Luc Robitaille and Brett Hull. The Wings became the hands-down favorite to win the Cup in 2002. Detroit Red Wings tickets were highly sought, from the regular season tickets all the way through Stanley Cup Finals tickets. The Detroit Red Wings did not disappoint, posting the league's best record in the regular season and capturing another Stanley Cup Championship.
Now the Detroit Red Wings look to hang another banner in the rafters of Joe Louis Arena. Detroit Red Wings tickets are always hard to come by, but Just Great Tickets has all the action, from opening night to the Stanley Cup Finals. Turn to us for those hard to get Detroit Red Wings tickets and be a witness to all the exciting NHL history.
