Red Wings are Stanley Cup Champions!!!

I know it's a little late to be blogging on this but I've been busy. :P The finals were a fun series and full of great moments. Both teams had flashes of brillance. I've been a Wings fan all my life and it was nice to see them clinch a 3rd cup in 11 years. I think Pittsburgh's age got the better of them. They became impatient at key points in games. Next year however they could be a top contender again for the cup if the management can keep the key players there. I think a very pivotal moment in the series is when the Wings were able to kill a 5 on 3 penalty in game 4. That was definitely the moment Zetterberg sealed the deal for the Conn Smythe trophy. The major killer for the Penguins too was the fact that every player on the Detroit side seemed to be contributing. This is evident when you look at the goals scored, it's all over the place. Sure some same players were scoring but for the most part the goals were pretty spread out. It seemed Crosby was the only player getting any goals for Pittsburgh. It definitely felt like Detroit had more depth as the series went on. Anyone watching could see though that some Penguin players just need a little more push and the depth could be there. It'll be very interesting also to see how the Wings handle Hasek retiring. Will Osgood still be the number 1? Will they bring up Howard? Will they grab a free agent in the NHL? I'm hoping the Wings can remain a contender next year for the cup and bring home another one. GO WINGS!!!
