It's over! Congratulations to the Detroit Red Wings who defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins 3-2 last night to win the NHL championship and bring Lord Stanley's Cup to Hockeytown for the fourth time in 11 seasons. That's domination! The difference between winning and losing really is just a matter of inches as the fans in Pittsburgh can attest this morning. The final game essentially boiled down to two plays. The first came with the Red Wings leading 2-1. Penguins goalie Marc-Andre Fleury misplayed a shot from Detroit's Henrik Zetterberg with just over seven minutes into the final period. The puck fell behind Fleury and he accidentally knocked it into the goal when trying to cover it. Most of the players on the ice thought Fleury had it stopped, but the puck trickled across the goal line as Pittsburgh's Ryan Malone arrived a split second too late to swat it away. That goal, which put Detroit ahead by a score of 3-1, proved to be the difference. The Wings eventually won the game 3-2, but not before the Penguins could make a last stand. With about a minute and a half left, Marian Hossa lit the lamp as the Penguins were on a power play and had pulled their goaltender to create a two-man skating advantage. That pulled Pittsburgh to within a goal of tying the game, which they nearly did. Hossa picked up a rebound from a Sidney Crosby shot with just seconds left and backhanded a shot that slid slowly across the goal mouth as time expired.
