PrintCongrats to the Pittsburgh Penguins and all of their fans. Well fought, well played, well deserved.
The Penguins become the first road team to win a game 7 in a final series in professional sports since the 1971 Montreal Canadiens. Now how is that for a streak?

P.S. Here's hoping Bettman and the NHL learns how to promote non-English speaking players, because no matter what anyone says, this is Evgeni Malkin's team. Malkin led the league in regular season and post-season scoring. Any chance he doesn't get a Hart to go along with that Conn Smythe?
Malkin didn't score a goal in the last three games of the finals, but he led all playoff scorers with 36 points -- the most since the Kings' Wayne Gretzky had 40 in 1993 -- and his pass set up the first of Maxime Talbot's two goals Friday night as the Penguins beat Detroit 2-1 in Game 7.

Great game…..big balls by the Pens to go into Detroit and pull this off. I was so pumped for the last couple mintues I dont know If I could make it if the Wild ever made it that far.
Would sure like a chance at it though….Congrats Pens!

Best. Win. Ever.
Hey Hossa!
Hey buddy! Remember how you used to play for us, and you left to win a cup?

Comment 1 I absolutely love the fact Hossa got the Cup shoved down his throat. Maybe that will learn him!!
Comment 2 Detroit fans are pretty sad. Zero class is right on the money.
Comment 3 The third took basically forever. That yawning net and that incredible save. Where can you get that type of desperation and all out determination of stopping that puck. No other sporting playoffs compare to hockey.
Comment 4 Good Morning America made me puke this morning with their coverage on how poor Detroit had it so rough because they didn’t win the Cup, and wah-wah-wah. They didn’t say much about the winner of the Cup. Anyone else see that story?
