Eastern Conference Recap: PITTSBURGH PENGUINS TO THE STANLEY CUP FINALS!!!




After 16 years of frustration, the Pittsburgh Penguins return to the Stanley Cup after a dominating 4-1 series win over their rivals Philadelphia Flyers. Philly had its shot in Games 1 and 2, but could not capitalize. Here's a game per game recap.

Game 1: The Flyers came out swinging after Petr Sykora scored the first goal of the game. They scrapped and took a 2-1 lead, but Sidney Crosby tied the game quickly after a redirection. Before the 1st period ended, Evgeni Malkin shoots a wicked wrister in to give the Pens a 3-2 lead. The highlight of the game came in the 2nd where Malkin get plastered into the glass after a shorthanded attempt only to get himself up on the same play and get fed a pass for a breakaway where he slaps one home past Marty Biron. That's pretty much how the game ended. Pens lead 1-0




The Malkin shorthanded Goal

Game 2: The Flyers were much better this game. The Pens struck first with a Sidney Crosby power play goal. But the Flyers once again came together and tied the game. Marian Hossa tallied the Pens' next goal to give them a 2-1 lead. However for all of Evgeni Malkin's abilities, he made a major gaffe shorthanded towards the end of the period and Mike Richards of the Flyers made him pay. The game winning goal came from an unlikely source as the fourth line of Gary Roberts, Georges Laraque and Maxime Talbot capitalize to give the Pens the edge. Jordan Staal caps it off with an empty netter. Pens lead 2-0


Great Bantamweight fight between Upshall and Tyler Kennedy to begin the highlights.

Game 3: Flyer fans were hostile. Orange was worn everywhere. But the Pens found a way to shut them up. It felt like everything was going the Pens' way. Case in point the first goal. Ryan Whitney shot one which bounced off the defenseman and into the net. The Marian Hossa scores an unreal goal!



The Flyers cut it in half, but the usually offensive first Pens clamped down on defense. Ryan Malone and another Hossa goal dooms the Flyers. Pens lead 3-0



Game 4: The Flyers weren't gonna go away. 3 first period goals crushed the Pens. The lone highlight(s) was Jordan Staal, whose grandfather died two days earlier and flew back from his funeral and almost singlehandedly carried the Pens back in this game with 2 goals. Pens lead 3-1



Game 5: SHEER DOMINATION
From the outset, the Pens set the tone with goals from Malone and Malkin. The second was even worse for Philly. Marian Hossa, another Ryan Malone goal and Jordan Staal embarrass the Flyers. To add more salt Pascal Dupuis tallies one in the third for a 6-0 domination. Marc-Andre Fleury was stellar once again making his 3rd playoff shutout of the year. Penguins advance to their first Stanley Cup in 16 years.



So it is set





I will have a preview of the Finals as well as a chronicle of my trip to Pittsburgh for the Stanley Cup Finals. Keep tuning in... GO PENS!!!

16 YEARS OF WAITING ENDS TONIGHT?

Sixteen years ago the Pittsburgh Penguins last made the Stanley Cup Finals and it was the first time I watched hockey in general. I was hooked. That year the Penguins won the Cup and I became attached to the sport and the Pens. Since then there were a few synonymous things and persons associated with my team. Heartbreak. David Volek. Cancer. Rats. Philadelphia Flyers. Garry Valk. Andy Delmore. Keith Primeau. Martin Brodeur. Trades. Michal Sivek. Basement. Eddie Olczyk. The Ottawa Senators. 16 years of frustration of not making the championship can end tonight. In that list, it will make it much sweeter. The Philadelphia Flyers. Somehow someway the Flyers always managed to beat the Penguins everytime. Not just during the regular season this year, but the 97 Playoffs when they ended Mario Lemieux's career with a 4-1 series victory, or the 2000 playoffs when the Pens had a 2-0 lead going into Pittsburgh then in some hockey God madness the following two things happened back-to-back OT's.


Andy Delmore wins Game 3 in OT


Keith Primeau wins it in 5 overtimes. I still can smell the vomit on my shirt after that mess.

So who do you think got momentum in that series? Even now that Sidney Crosby is leading this team, the ruthless Flyers fans always has something to say. Even their head coaches. Remember 2 years ago when Ken Hitchcock called Sid a diver? Or when Derian Hatcher continuously smacked his face with his stick? Well that just made Sid a better player. Personally as a fan, anytime the Pens beat the Flyers, its always a happy moment. But quite frankly, the next win against the Flyers will erase all the bad memories vs. Philly. I actually don't care that the Pens swept them in the regular season last year. A Penguins win tonight (SWEEP IN PHILLY) will not only end frustrations vs. the Flyers, but erase those memories listed above you...


You ruined my childhood DAVID VOLEK!


Garry Valk had NO PLAYOFF GOALS so far, so who does he score his 1st against?


THE 2003-2004 Penguins were in the basement? I remember the 20 game losing streak and how it felt like they won the cup with that OT win vs. Phoenix. But I stuck with them.


And who can forget last year?

If you're a Pens fan and you stumble on to this site, watch all the videos, cause it will all be erased after tonight. But I know after this next win, it won't be over, but wouldn't IT BE NICE just to think about it before it becomes reality.
