I haven't written a single blog on the NHL Playoffs this season because I didn't want to jinx my team the Penguins.
Wasn't even tempted to do a Stanley Cup Final Preview because after being handled by the Detroit Red Wings in last year's Finals (Detroit won 4 games to 2) I wasn't confident the Penguins could turn it all around and stop the Red Wings from repeating.
But stopped them they did.


Evgeni Malkin won the Conn Smythe Trophy as Playoff MVP - well deserved - and along with Max Talbot (two goals in Game 7!) and Jordan Staal carried the Penguins in the last period of the game as captain Sidney Crosby was a passenger with a knee injury suffered midway through the second period.
WHAT A FEELING!
- I am stoked and although the pictures attached to the blog today are direct phone camera efforts from the HD Tv - they are fresh!

THE PITTSBURGH PENGUINS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!

The last minute or two felt like an eternity, but the man above - Marc-Andre Fleury stood tall and won the Stanley Cup for the Penguins!
