From TSN:
The National Hockey League’s ‘dream match-up’ was a nightmare for the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final.
It started badly enough when goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury fell face first as he made his customary pre-game sprint on to the ice, while veteran public address announcer Budd Lynch mistakenly called captain Sidney Crosby ‘Steven’ during the ceremonial faceoff.
But more importantly, the Penguins’ youth and inexperience caught up with them in a 4-0 loss to the Detroit Red Wings, giving the Western Conference champions a 1-0 lead in the best of seven series.
