Igor Larionov tells team back home to ‘play without me’ so he can celebrate with Detroit Red Wings

It’s crazy to think that it has already been over 25 years since the Detroit Red Wings won their first Stanley Cup since 1955. In 1997, the Red Wings defeated the Philadelphia Flyers four games to zero to hoist their first Stanley Cup in 42 years. The entire city of Detroit (and everyone else in the area) celebrated in the streets. On Thursday, some of the players from the ’97 squad were at Little Caesars Arena to celebrate the 25h Anniversary of winning the Cup. One of the players in attendance was Igor Larionov, who had to miss coaching a game to be at the celebration. ▬ About Detroit Sports Nation ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ https://detroitsportsnation.com In 2010, Detroit Sports Nation started in the same way many a great night has, in a dimly lit bar over a couple beers. From that one night, where a simple idea to present sports news from a fan’s perspective was hashed out over a table of beer and peanuts to the grand scope of everything that Detroit Sports Nation encompasses today, is simply mind-blowing. With a strong focus on local teams, Detroit Sports Nation beat writers are dedicated to bringing everything from breaking news to scores and schedules to the masses. Each member of the DSN Writing Team works tirelessly and in their spare time, they do it out of their love of the game; there is something to say about that. ▬ More Videos ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Subscribe to @detroitsportsnation: https://bit.ly/3J96gzb TikTok: https://bit.ly/3jb5nLP ▬ Social Media ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/detroitsportsnation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/realdetroitsportsnation/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/detsportsnation ▬ Podcasts ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ You can also find this and other episodes at all of your favorite podcasting destinations, just search up Detroit Sports Nation.
