Congrats To The Red Wings
Have to give a tip of the hat to the Detroit Red Wings, who won the Stanley Cup last night. While the Penguins are loaded with some of the best young talent in the world, they ran into a buzzsaw of a Red Wing team. Detroit was deep, disciplined and you just can’t outwork them - a tough combo to beat.
Niklas Lidstrom held the Cup as the first European captain to ever win it all, which should start to quell that debate (that a Euro captain couldn’t lead his team to a Stanley Cup win) and Henrik Zetterberg won the Conn Smythe (MVP).
While his team did lose, it’s highly doubtful that was as close as Syd The Kid will get to the Cup…he’ll be the one hoisting it in the not too distant future.
