The Stanley Cup Finals have went to the limit in terms of games and in terms of excitement and effort. Alas, the Pittsburgh Penguins stepped up their defense and held the Detroit Red Wings' offensive juggernauts in check.

Evgeni Malkin is your Conn Smythe winner for playoff MVP, the faithful at the Joe Louis Arena are understandably livid, and Marc-Andre Fleury put an exclamation mark on Game 7 with a glorious save that kept the 2-1 lead in the dying seconds.

I would like to congratulate the Penguins for their hard-earned third Stanley Cup in franchise history. Check out Pensburgh where they are probably in a state of euphoria.
