The difference between the Anaheim Duck fans and the Red Wing fans?
Expectations.
The Ducks had a great regular season. The Wings barely made it to the playoffs. On Sunday, the Wings downed the Ducks 3-2 in the seventh game of the series.
Now, it's off to Chicago for the Wings.

A great beginning turned into a sorry end for the Ducks, who burned up the NHL in the early weeks of this lockout-shortened season but were too burned out Sunday to put up much of a consistent challenge to the inspired Detroit Red Wings.
Bob Wojnowski of the Detroit News wrote:
It took a while, but when the Red Wings finally had a chance to take this series, they seized it with force, in feisty and familiar ways. They skated through time zones and danger zones, regenerating before our eyes, again lining up behind their captain.
