Pens win Stanley Cup

SCRATCH THEIR NAMES IN THAT FABLED CUP, LORD STANLEY!

What a year! What a series! What a final! Does it get any better than Game 7 of a Stanley Cup. All the marbles as Mike Lange said. Wow! I'll post my favorite pics here. There's one of the guys on the bench looking at the clock and the last action and jumping over the boards to celebrate. 20 yr old Jordan Staal with the Cup raised screaming in primal joy. Owner Mario Lemeiux looking at the celebration, his eyes revealing the dream had come true. So many great moments! I can't go through them all. Malkin was possessed at times, Scuderi goal tending, the flower so clutch, Crosby, Talbot, Kennedy, Staal short handed. It was a great run. I have so much more time now that I don't read 'Empty Netters' religiously. If you want to know why the Pens are a 1st class organization, check out the text Mario sent the team after they lost Game 5 BADLY. He sent another before game 7. 'Play without fear and you will succeed. See U at Center Ice' words to live by.
