The Detroit Red Wings defeated the Calgary Flames 2-1 to finish the series in 6 games. This was the 4 straight playoff appearance for the Calgary Flames and the furtherest they've advanced since their Stanley Cup run in 1989.

For Detroit, they move on to face the Ottawa Senators who swept the Boston Bruins in 4 games.

"We're very excited. It all comes down to the final." Said young Russian sniper Pavel Datsyuk (pictured) of the Red Wings.

The Wings were a tough nut to crack for the Flames as they boasted a solid blend of youth and experience. Leading the charge is centre John Madden, acquired for Brendan Shanahan in 2002, and veteran centre Sergei Fedorov and standout defenseman Nicklas Lidstrom. The youth movement of Zetterberg and Datsyuk adds another dimension that makes the team difficult to contend with. The Wings hope to win their first Stanley Cup since winning back-to-back in 1997 and 1998.

For the Flames, it will be an off-season of decisions. Do the Flames top-brass bring GM and Coach Dave Fyvie back for another kick at the can? Or will the team go in a new direction.
