I can't string together anything better than what the sometimes brilliant Mitch Albom writes this morning...

Last dance. Lights out. To paraphrase Marlon Brando, "it coulda been a dynasty."

Instead it's considerably less. The Wings of Hull, Chelios, Shanahan and Yzerman have likely skated their last turn. And, perhaps fittingly, the final game saw Steve Yzerman at home nursing a wounded eye, Chris Chelios wearing street clothes with a bum shoulder, Shanahan blanked, as he'd been almost all playoffs, and Brett Hull playing like an old man trying to avoid getting puddle-splashed by a bus.

Calgary 1, Detroit 0.

Paradise lost.
