Stanley Cup

The Pittsburgh Penguins overcame a shaky first period and a devasting hit to Sid "the Kid" Crosby to secure Lord Stanley's Cup. It was a great ending to a very exciting playoffs that I can say drew me into hockey. The action in the playoffs was great and I was thoroughly pleased with each game I saw.

The Penguins proved they were the best team in the league by handing the Red Wings a loss at home in Game 7 and that without the services of Sidney Crosby for one and a half periods. Maxime Talbot and Flower Fleury stepped up their games to provide the Penguins with the Cup.

These playoffs had great play and great matchups, unfortunately games were really only on Versus. The NHL is close to becoming a force as a popular sport and only needs some bigger attention on the tube to achieve that. I hope that it happens because these Stanley Cup playoffs were great and would love to see more and have others see it as well.
