Detroit Red Wings Stanley Cup Finals History
The Detroit Red Wings have made it to the Stanley Cup Finals 24 times in the history of their franchise. Their first trip to the finals was in the 1934 Finals when they played the Chicago Blackhawks and lost 3-1. They would miss the playoffs entirely the next year and then in 1936 the team would win its first Stanley Cup Championship by beating the Toronto Maple Leafs 3-1. Not to be outdone, the team won the Stanley Cup the following season also by defeating the New York Rangers 3-2 in the finals.
The last time that the Red Wings have won a Stanley Cup Championship was in 2008. Under coach Mike Babcock, the team finished the regular season with a 54-21-7 record. The Nashville Predators were first up in the '08 playoffs and the Red Wings won that series 4-2. Next up in round 2 was the Colorado Avalanche. The Wings only needed 4 games in the best of 7 series to sweep the Avalanche 4-0 and make it to the conference finals to play the Dallas Stars. While the Stars turned up to be a tougher matchup than the Predators were the round before, Detroit was still able to beat them in 6 games 4-2 and solidify their spot into the 2008 Stanley Cup Finals vs. the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Red Wings would once again only need 6 games to defeat their opponent as they took the series 4-2 and once again, the Stanley Cup was home in Detroit.
