The Wings with newly acquired traitor Marian Hossa who left the Penguins to be on a Stanley Cup winning team… and for less money. Had Hossa stayed with the Penguins for more money, he may have won the Cup with them. Don’t think that didn’t make the Wings defeat just a bit sweeter for the Pens. But I say "may have won" because I'm not at all sure the Pens would have won with Hossa on their roster. His leaving allowed them to bring in the players who formed the team that won this championship.
"It's A Great Day For Hockey — Badger Bob Johnson."
And for the Penguins, these are the greatest days in hockey.
And as their fans lined the parade route today to thank them and cheer them, this hopefully will be the beginning of many more great days for a team that everyone said wasn't ready to win.

Way to Go Pens! I though is was hilarous the part about Hossa....what a jerk...thats Karma for ya! Anyway I thoroughly enjoyed the series. There is nothing better than a 7-game Cup Final. And the fact that the road team only wins 20% of the time in game 7's shows how much the Pens wanted it!
