Favorite sports team/player/moment:

Detroit Red Wings. My favorite moment as a Red Wings fan was when they won the Stanley Cup in 1998 against the Washington Capitals. The handoff of the Cup from the Captain of the team is always highly anticipated. Steve Yzerman placed the Stanley Cup on the lap of Vladimir Konstantinov, who was a former Red Wings defenseman that was paralyzed the previous summer in a tragic limousine accident. The team huddled around Vladdy and they all did a lap around the ice. Absolutely incredible moment!
