And the Cup goes to …

I’m sure you’re all fully aware; the Penguins won Game 7 2-1 to claim the Stanley Cup. It was a hard fought win, with Detroit giving it their all from the start of the game, but the Pens’ offense and goalie were right on the money on Saturday night. It was a fitting end to [...]
