For most Pittsburgh Penguins fans, it must have felt like Deja Vu all over again when they found out that they would be facing the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup. This time however the story had a different ending, the Penguins win their first Stanley Cup since the season of 1991-1992 by the score of 2-1.
Much maligned Pittsburgh goaltender Marc-Andre Fluery made 23 saves in the victory including one in the final couple second to steal a possible overtime period in game seven.
Pittsburgh center Evgeni Malkin took home the Conn Smythe Trophy for the post season MVP award. The goals that eventually gave Pittsburgh the victory came from center Maxine Talbot who scored both of them in the second period.
Penguins head coach Dan Blysma becomes the second rookie head coach to be hired midseason to win the Stanley Cup. (The first being Al McNeal of the Montreal Canadiens back in 1971) Pittsburgh's Sidney Crosby also took home the honors of being the youngest captain to win the Stanley Cup.
Congrats to the Pittsburgh Penguins for their 2009 Stanley Cup Victory!
