Yes, the Wings finally put away the Penguins in game six, though they couldn't do it without scaring us till the last second. Osgood once again had us holding our breath until the final horn sounded. Though luckily this time, Ozzie came out on top, and made the clutch stop that the Red Wings needed again in the final minute, and this time it ultimately won them the Stanley Cup. Zetterberg's game winner was a really sweet goal too, and it has to kill the Penguins to know that that is what ended up denying them a chance at game seven and possibly the Stanley Cup. Z-Money also really deserved that Conn Smythe Trophy, and I'm glad they didn't give it to Chris Osgood, especially after that game five loss. I think the Pens are going to be a really good team down the road with all their young skilled players.... but so are the Wings. And right now, I'm thinking that in the next 15 years we're going to see this match up in the finals numerous times, and this will turn into a huge rivalry with the two teams always meeting in the finals like the Lakers and Celtics in the 70s and 80s. Right now though, it's Red Wings 1, Penguins 0.
