PITTSBURGH PENGUINS 2, DETROIT RED WINGS 1
***Pittsburgh wins Stanley Cup 4-3***
It was a not a disappointing game, even though the result was disappointing for me. I personally despise the Penguins on levels beyond typical sports hatred. I hate them more than the Steelers, so it's not just a Pittsburgh thing.
I was wrong in my prediction of Detroit in 6. But I was right in predicting that if Pittsburgh won, Evgeni Malkin would be awarded the Conn Smythe. Malkin had an assist on the Penguins' first goal of the night, had 2 goals plus 5 assists in the series, and 14 goals plus 22 assists in the playoffs.
Cindy Crosby went from ghost to AWOL when a hard Franzen check benched him for the rest of the game. His mere 10 minutes of ice time was pretty solid evidence that he's simply not as amazing as people seem to think he is.
I'll give him credit for handing the Cup off to Wilbraham's Billy Guerin.
By the way, all the Detroit Red Wings shook hands with the Penguins after the game. I guess they're not that competitive.
But why the hell were Red Wings fans lingering in the arena, watching the Penguins celebrate? That's like catching your wife in bed with another man and sticking around for the money shot. Just leave the building. No need to watch a visiting team celebrate on your ice.
I'd feel bad for Marian Hossa if I were a much nicer person. But I find his situation hilarious. He takes less money to leave Pittsburgh and go to Detroit. Then for the 2nd year in a row, he loses in the Stanley Cup Finals. Shouldv'e gone for the money, Marian.
My God did Chris Osgood choke. On both goals he let in, he was caught out of position. When he's enshrined in Toronto someday, he'll become the most overrated Hall of Famer in North American sports.
It's hard to believe, but the 2009-2010 season is like 4 months away. Early prediction for the 2010 Stanley Cup: Boston Bruins over Detroit Red Wings in 5 games. And the 2010 Winter Olympics Ice Hockey Champion: DEUTSCHLAND!!!
Marco Sturm will win a Stanley Cup and a Gold Medal in the same year.
