		The Red Wings won their 10th Stanley Cup in a season they dominated from start to finish, Bowman won his record ninth title, and future Hall of Famers Dominik Hasek and Luc Robitaille each won their first championship.
		It was the same role Ray Bourque filled last year when, capping a 22-year career with his first Stanley Cup, he accepted it from Colorado captain Joe Sakic and hoisted it high.
		But it was Hasek's almost perfect play in the final three games and the timely scoring of Brett Hull and Larionov that turned around the series and finished a season dominated by Red Wings from start to finish.

		Each of the Red Wings' last three finals appearances ended in sweeps, as they were swept as a big favorite by New Jersey in 1995.

		He reacted with a mixture of horror, anger, and sympathy when, only six days after Detroit celebrated its Stanley Cup victory, Red Wings defenseman Vladimir Konstantinov and the team’s massage therapist lay in comas after their chauffeur-driven limousine crashed on the way home from a golf tournament.
		To put Lindros’ disappointment in the ’97 finals into context, consider that Messier did not win a Stanley Cup until his fifth season; Gretzky also won his first in his fifth NHL season, after a year in the long-defunct World Hockey Association.
		And one of the hard lessons of 1997, one with a particular resonance for him, appears to have been a realization that there is no magic—that what he once identified as almost superhuman will is basically a potion composed of talent, work ethic, and a liberal dash of luck.
