from Eric Duhatschek of the Globe and Mail,
In one corner, there are the Pittsburgh Penguins, champions of the Eastern Conference, the young upstarts, closing in on a Stanley Cup championship in only Sidney Crosby’s third season.
In the other corner, here come the Detroit Red Wings, the model of NHL stability, experienced, steady, making their fourth appearance in the Stanley Cup final in the past 11 years.
It is a battle for the ages — the young star power of the Penguins against the defensive efficiency of the Red Wings.
added 11:50pm, from Michael Rosenberg of the Detroit Free Press,
The Red Wings are going to face the Penguins in the Stanley Cup Finals, which is all sorts of perfect. The television ratings will be comically low; that’s just reality for hockey right now. But forget TV ratings for a minute. Anybody who likes this game has to love this matchup.
