Penguins Exorcise their Bad Playoff Final Memories

...and THAT is why hockey is the greatest sport in the world.
according to talk show host Mark Madden. It truly was nice to see a non-Penguins team blow a lead for once.

A hyped-up game from the start of the year, the Penguins and Red Wings were destined for a titanic rematch after last year's finals.

The game was a remarkable drama that built on the strong rivalry that is starting to grow. The leaders of the team, Crosby, Malkin, and Staal you can tell decided to step up their talent and fought off the hard working defensive system that you could tell was frustrating the Penguins. It took an extra effort from an entire team to show the Red Wings that they weren't going to forget what happened in the Finals last year and are now stronger having learned from the experience.
