1. 2008 Stanley Cup

Hands down the biggest moment of the last 15 years. The only thing missing from Nick Lidstrom’s perfect resume was being captain of a Stanley Cup winning team. He became the first European captain in NHL history to lift the cup. This was also the first and only Stanley Cup for Conn Smythe Trophy winner Henrik Zetterberg. This team had an outstanding defensive core but make no mistake, it was Datsyuk and Zetterberg driving the bus. Both of them had arguably their best seasons as Red Wings. For Kris Draper, Kirk Maltby, Darren McCarty, Tomas Holmstrom and Nick Lidstrom this was their 4th Stanley Cup in 11 years. A dynasty for the ages.
