Stanley Cup Champs!

That’s right, your 2009 Stanley Cup Champs are the Pittsburgh Penguins! I was so excited that we were back in the finals and now it’s unreal that the Cup is back in Pittsburgh. This series with Detroit had it’s up and downs, losing game 1 and 2 in Detroit, coming back to Pittsburgh and winning the next 2, then getting embarrassed in Detroit 5-0, saving the season in game 6 with a victory, and finally winning it all in game 7. I said last year that the Pens didn’t want it enough and this year they proved they did. It was a very close series and one I really enjoyed. It was great to see Sidney Crosby raise the Cup for the first time, it brought chills to the back of my neck!

It’s crazy how the pens have grown up right in front of our eyes. Malkin was a monster in the regular season and in the playoffs, he really matured over this past year. Jordan Staal who is only 20 years old improved both his offensive and defense game. Fluery really learned how to fight adversity this year bouncing back and helping the Pens win the cup. Finally Sidney Crosby, what a great leader and person you could count on when we needed him.

It has been 17 years since the Pens won the cup and it was about time we brought it back to Pittsburgh. The whole city went nuts Friday night and I was out at Steelhouse in Station Square for the game. It was a great atmosphere to watch the game and an even better atmosphere to celebrate the win! Instead of posting pictures I made a video you can check it out below. Check out my Stanley Cup Champs Flickr set for all the pictures from the night.

The game was a bit anti-climactic…I was expecting more competitiveness and for the game to go to overtime. Oh well, I’m glad the Pens won!

We watched it in such a huge group that I don’t really remember much. We all got completely drunk after about 30 minutes and I’m not sure what happened afterwards
