Former Whaler Brendan Shanahan, bottom, scored twice.
 
Wire-To-Wire Wings
They were predicted to win it all from the beginning of the 2001-02 season, and the Red Wings delivered Thursday night. Two second-period goals were enough to help veteran-laden Detroit to hoist the Stanley Cup on Thursday, beating Carolina 3-1 and winning the finals in five games. It's the Red Wings' third Cup in six years and the 10th in the club's history.
