2009 Stanley Cup Playoffs

[SabresRule]

It's amazing how far the Pens have come since February.

They fired Therrien when they were tenth in the conference- at the time, if you asked me who would represent the East in the Stanley Cup Finals, I would have said Boston, Washington, or New Jersey- Pittsburgh truly defied all the odds.

Down 3-0 in game 6 to Philly, down two games to none against both Washington and Detroit, only to ultimately triumph in game 7 on the road.

Damn it's good to be a Pittsburgh sports fan, Steelers win the Superbowl and the Penguins win the Stanley Cup in the same year.

Yes, you won't see THAT happening in Detroit !

They got the Tigers and Pistons.

Pittsburgh in 2009 = Boston in 2007?

Were the fans booing because Crosby stiffed the Wings on the handshakes? Didn't look like he was in line with the rest of the Pens.

You got to love the Detroit fans for booing that idiot Bettman.

Priceless.

LORD STANLEY, LORD STANLEY...... GET ME THE BRANDY!!!!

I'd like to congratulate the Pens on this victory and Championship. Even though I'm a viscous hater of all things Pittsburgh, I can still find it in my heart to congratulate them in their time of glory. To win 4 out of 5 against the Wings to win the Cup is an amazing accomplishment and well deserved.

Congrats boys. Enjoy the celebration.

True.

IMO, this series may have had the feel of a Passing The Torch moment.

This'll be my last word on the playoffs:

Where does this year's Stanley Cup Finals rank all-time?

Kinda like the Oilers and Islanders.

For me, about 12th, we've got 11 Stanley Cups to our credit, this one was not quite as good.

No. I meant how the young lions beat the proud veteran champions.

It's like when the Oilers beat the Islanders in 1984.

A non-hockey example would be when the Bulls beat the Lakers in 1991 or when the Pistons beat the Celtics in 1988.
