from Damien Cox of the Toronto Star,
Last night was surely about the Detroit Red Wings and their remarkable organization, now defiantly the class of the Original Six, usurping the unofficial title held for a quarter-century by the Montreal Canadiens after the NHL expanded in 1967.Winners by a 3-2 score last night, they’ve now won four Cups in 11 seasons.
But it was also about Crosby, Malone and the Penguins, very much so. They proved they were more than the ‘83 Oilers, for they weren’t swept, as many feared they would be after Games 1 and 2. They scraped and clawed their way into the final seconds of play last night as a Crosby shot bounced tantalizingly in the crease, but stayed out.
To understand how much players and coaches and every member of an organization pours into taking a serious run at the Cup, you need to sample the atmosphere and emotion of the loser’s dressing room.

I thought the Pens were overmatched throughout the series. They were fortunate to win two games. Detroit is just too good. Pitt needs to be a little tougher, find another top offensive D-man (maybe Letang) and possibly get a new coach. Or they can just wait until Detroit get bad but that may never happen…..
