PITTSBURGH (AP) -The Detroit Red Wings were so close to sipping champagne they could almost taste it.

The Red Wings got a break on the game's first goal and by killing off a 5-on-3 power play, giving them a 1-0 lead after the first period.

Pittsburgh, PA (Sports Network) - Brian Rafalski scored a power-play goal 5:03 into the contest and the Detroit Red Wings hold a 1-0 lead over the Pittsburgh Penguins after the first period in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Finals from Mellon Arena. The Red Wings lead the series, 3-2, and are trying for their fourth championship in 11 years.

Red Wings get off to good start, taking 1-0 lead after 1 Wed Jun  4 20:11:00 2008 EST

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Brian Rafalski put the Detroit Red Wings a step closer to hoisting the Stanley Cup, scoring a power-play goal early in Game 6 against the Pittsburgh Penguins on Wednesday night.

The Red Wings got a break on the game's first goal and by killing off a 5-on-3 power play, giving them a 1-0 lead after the first period.

Rafalski's shot went off Pittsburgh defenseman Hal Gill and past goalie Marc-Andre Fleury, whose spectacular performance in the previous game extended the Stanl

Red Wings visit Penguins with second chance at clinching Cup Wed Jun  4 10:44:20 2008 EST
(Sports Network) - The Detroit Red Wings will get another shot at clinching Lord Stanley's Cup tonight, when they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins for Game 6 of the best-of-seven finals. The Red Wings grabbed a 3-1 series edge with a Game 4 victory in Pittsburgh, but were unable to seal the title in Monday's home test against the Penguins. Instead, Pittsburgh rallied late in regulation to send Game 5 to overtime and then won it 4-3 in the third extra period. Petr Sykora's power play goal at the 9:
Babcock questions Wings' goalie interference calls in OT Tue Jun  3 19:13:00 2008 EST

PITTSBURGH (AP) -Detroit Red Wings coach Mike Babcock faced very little resistance, or obstruction for that matter, in taking some shots at the officials and Penguins counterpart Michel Therrien.

One day after the Red Wings absorbed as tough a loss in the Stanley Cup finals as possible, outside of an elimination game, Babcock took exception to a pair of goalie interference calls assessed to his team during overtime on Monday night.

Neither led to the deciding goal in the 4-3 defeat in tri

Red Wings host Pens with chance to clinch Stanley Cup Mon Jun  2 11:55:41 2008 EST
(Sports Network) - The Detroit Red Wings will aim for their fourth Stanley Cup title in 12 years tonight, when they try to finish off the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 5 of the best-of-seven finals at Joe Louis Arena. Detroit jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the Stanley Cup finals by taking Games 1 and 2 on its home ice. Pittsburgh answered with a Game 3 victory in the Steel City, but the Red Wings took the fourth meeting to give themselves a chance to clinch tonight in front of their fans. The Red Wi
Lidstrom ready to make history Mon Jun  2 10:26:12 2008 EST
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Few things please me as much as watching old stereotypes get blown to pieces. A hockey myth is headed for extinction, and Detroit Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom is the man who can finally put it to rest. Lidstrom's Red Wings have taken a 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup finals and are just one victory away from winning their fourth title in 12 years. If Detroit holds on, Lidstrom, a Swede, will become the first-ever European captain to lead his t
Playoff beards come in all shapes, sizes, shades Mon Jun  2 03:48:00 2008 EST

DETROIT (AP) -They come in all shapes and sizes - and shades.

Detroit Red Wings forward Kris Draper's playoff beard is bushy and red and makes him look not unlike action star Chuck Norris in his ``Walker, Texas Ranger'' days.

Pittsburgh Penguins defenseman Ryan Whitney's look evokes memories of Grizzly Adams.

As for Red Wings forward Johan Franzen, well, he's just plain scary.

At least that's what his 8-year-old nephew says.

``My sister's son didn't recognize me. I came up to him ye

Hasek-to-Osgood switch a brilliant move for Red Wings Sun Jun  1 20:46:00 2008 EST

DETROIT (AP) -Plan B has worked out pretty well for the Detroit Red Wings.

The NHL's top-seeded team planned on putting Dominik Hasek in goal during the playoffs and keeping him there.

``Dom is not going to struggle,'' Detroit coach Mike Babcock said the day before the postseason started, attempting to shoot down a question about the possibility of playing Chris Osgood.

But when Hasek struggled against the Nashville Predators, Babcock benched the six-time Vezina Trophy winner in favor o

Wings' Holmstrom back for Game 5 Sun Jun  1 19:42:45 2008 EST
Detroit, MI (Sports Network) - Detroit Red Wings forward Tomas Holmstrom will be back in the lineup for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals against Pittsburgh on Monday. Holmstrom sat out Game 4 on Saturday with a hamstring injury he suffered during Wednesday's 3-2 loss in Game 3 in Pittsburgh, when Penguins defenseman Hal Gill lifted the veteran forward off the ice and dumped him into the Pens' net. The 35-year-old had compiled four goals and 12 points in 19 games this postseason. Detroit leads t
