Before game 7 Maxime Talbot was asked who he thought the hero would be? He responded:"I'd like to think it's going to be me." Was he right or what. Maxime Talbot scored the Penguins only goals in game 7 as they won 2-1. In the second period it was a scary moment for the Penguins as Johan Franzen hit Sidney Crosby right in the left knee when there was no puck in sight. So is it a fare hit or not? I'll let you be the juge of that. But Sidney Crosby returned in the third period and played 1 shift which lasted 32 seconds. But he stayed on the bench and later lifted the Stanley Cup.
With just 2 seconds to go Nicklas Lidstrom came in from the point and took a shot which made Marc-Andre Fleury dive to make the save which more impotantly won the Stanley Cup for Pittsburgh."We said it when we started the playoffs, if your team plays well enough as a team and everyone has a chance to put the cape on and certainly Max put the cape on tonight," stated Penguins head coach Dan Byslma. When Penguins owner Mario Lemieux was asked how much does winning the Cup mean to Sidney Crosby ?
He reasponded:"It means everything to him," Lemieux said. "This kid, all he thinks about is winning championships. His whole life is training and practicing and playing hockey. He's a great kid, a perfect hockey player, that's all he does, think about hockey every day. It's amazing. I wish I would have had that discipline back then." The Penguins will look to defend there Cup victory next season.
The Penguins have won the Stanley Cup!!!!!!
