2-1 in favor of Detroit now right? Pittsburgh still has a mighty task at hand-winning three games before Detroit wins two.

We'll see if the Penguins pass an even greater test than Wednesday night and that would be to tie the series.
That 17-game home winning streak won't matter to them if they don't win Game 4.

Meantime, the Los Angeles Lakers are in the NBA Finals for the first time in four years after eliminating
the defending champion San Antonio Spurs last night, 100-92 in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

The Detroit Red Wings are the 2008 Stanley Cup champions.

They defeated the Pittsburgh Penguins in Game 6 by a final score of 3-2 last night at Mellon Arena.
Brian Rafalski scored a power play goal just 5:03 into play while Henrik Zetterberg and Niklas Kronwall
each notched two points. Chris Osgood made 20 saves to secure the victory and propel Detroit
to their 4th Stanley Cup title in 11 years.

Zetterberg's eventual series-winning goal with 12:24 left in the game was scored on a freaky play in which
the puck slipped through Marc-Andre Fleury's pads and knocked in over the goal line. He would later claim
Conn Smythe Trophy honors as the playoff MVP.

Evgeni Malkin and Marian Hossa each scored power play goals in a losing cause for Pittsburgh. But the outcome
of the game would ultimately not be determined until Hossa's last second gasp at the tying goal was denied,
a heartbreaking play for Penguins fans as the 2007-2008 season came to an end.

It was, in all honesty, an unsurmountable task for Pittsburgh. They needed to win 3 straight, and the chances of that happening were near nil.

Pittsburgh played a fine series though. You just can't get yourself into a 3 game deficit against a team like Detroit.

Looks like Boston is gonna be the champion.  :twothumbs:

Which I'm glad of. I'm sick and tired of hearing people drool uncontrollably over Kobe Bryant. Yes, he's a great player. No, he's no better than Dr. J, Magic Johnson, Shaq, Larry Bird, or any of the other greats that came before him.
