Penguins (2) @ Red Wings (1)

I usually pull something like this together every year after the Stanley Cup final, and it takes a day or two for some of the front pages of newspapers to come in. Here's a look at how various papers played the Penguins' big win

I'm no television ratings expert, but NBC's preliminary numbers from last night strike me as incredible, perhaps the best ever for a nationally televised NHL game in the U.S.

Kudos from The Litter Box for a phenomenal playoff run

Be you warned, for here there be (non-baseball) gifs.

Thoughts on Game 7 and the series between the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburgh Penguins

The Pittsburgh Penguins win the Stanley Cup!!!

The Red Wings coughed up a chance at the Stanley Cup.

On the strength of two goals by Maxime Talbot and strong goaltending from Marc Andre Fleury, the Pittsburgh Penguins won their 3rd Stanley Cup championship tonight in Detroit.

Here's hoping Bettman and the NHL learns how to promote non-English speaking players, because no matter what anyone says, this is Evgeni Malkin's team.
