It’s a rematch of last year’s finals as Pittsburgh and Detroit battle for the Stanley Cup starting on May 30th. This is the first Finals rematch since the 83-84 season. Last season, the Red Wings used timely goals and stout defense to defeat the Penguins 4-2 in the best of seven series. This year, they’ll give it another go.
Apparently, the real conference finals should have actually been the conference semifinals. Both Pittsburgh and Detroit needed seven games to defeat Washington and Anaheim respectively. The actual conference finals were a different story altogether. The Penguins, led by the dynamic and youthful combination of Evgeni Malkin and Sidney Crosby (28 points each in the playoffs) easily dispatched the far overmatched Carolina Hurricanes 4-0. The Chicago Blackhawks made the Western finals slightly more interesting by only losing 4-1 to Detroit.
