I wish the Pens wouldn't have waited until the last 2 minutes to try and tie up the game. I thought they were going to score on that last play!
I was happy to watch the wings players skate around with the cup though. Even if I am a die-hard penguins fan. They played a great series/season and deserved the cup. Looking forward to next season. (I sure hope the Pens can keep Hossa!)
Congrats to the Red Wings and a valiant effort by Pittsburgh. I'm glad the series ended up going deep as I feared a sweep after the first two games in Detroit. I think the young kids on Pittsburgh learned a lot and they should/could be a formidable force in the East for a few years.
Mike Babcock does seem like a pretty humble and classy guy and he's a good coach. He made some smart forward adjustments during the course of Game 6 that made a lot of sense.
I also feel good for Osgood. He doesn't get much respect, but he definitely got the job done this year.
That was a pretty entertaining series after the first two games. I hope a good number of people tuned in to watch Games 5 and 6 in particular.
With Pittsburgh being a serious Cup contender, there will be no shortage of players wanting to go there. I think they'll be able to replace Gonchar when they have to.
But yeah, take away Lidstrom and the Wings don't win four Cups.
Been a Pens fan since I was a little kid playing street hockey. I was distraught when there were talks of the Pens team moving. I thought I was going to have to be a Blue Jackets fan.
