And it's not so much that the Wings proved you can win with a European captain, or that you know the Pens will be back (PLEASE RESIGN MALONE!), or that the series was just so entertaining and well played you can't be disapointed with the outcome even if you are a Pens fan.

No, it's that I was reading the Detroit Free Press and they spoke of the celebration.

Now, remember, when the Pistons won the NBA title, their fans celebrated by killing people.

But the Red Wings? Despite the overflow celebration onto the streets- with people piling into pickup trucks and the like- Detroit police report there have been NO ARRESTS!!!

I ask you to compare this with in 2000 when the Lakers beat Indiana and the riots outside the arena were such more than 10,000 fans, media, the Pacers, and even some of the Lakers players could not leave their arena.

We surely can expect more of the same after the Lakers sweep this heavily awaited series with the Celtics.

That the Lakers will sweep in four.
