from Mark Spector of Sportsnet,
There is a new Stanley Cup champion as the work week begins, and the National Hockey League is better for it.
Even to those of us who saw the Detroit Red Wings as a team with so many heroes that it could never go wanting in search of someone to don the cape, we realized the obvious as the Stanley Cup final wore on: Whether or not the Pittsburgh Penguins would turn out to be the better team, they are undoubtedly the better story.
Sidney Crosby is a sexier sell than Henrik Zetterberg, at least in North America—not to mention seven years younger.
Pavel Datsyuk is an artisan whose skills are appreciated by hockey people the way an opera critic differentiates between a good tenor and a great one. But Evgeni Malkin’s game is the Van Halen concert to Datsyuk’s Baroque concerto.
