Henrik Zetterburg may have locked up the Conn Smythe Trophy with his performance in Game 4 for Stanley Cup Finals. The Red Wings delivered a 2-1 win in Pittsburgh to open a 3 to 1 series lead on the Pens on Saturday Night. Zetterburg and his linemates fended off a 5 on 3 powerplay with 9:50 to go in 3rd period while the Wings were clinging to a one-goal lead. Zetterberg essentially locked up the Pens captain Sidney Crosby during the powerplay, and was able to possess the puck after clearing an errant pass from Evgeni Malkin. Zetterburg even managed a shorthanded shot off to effectively kill off the 2-man advantage. Wanna see more? Click on the web link provided below... Thanx for resding!

So close, yet so far away.
Once again, the Detroit Red Wings put on a defensive clinic and got a nice roll of the puck in the third period leading to the winning goal, as the Wings took a commanding 3-1 lead in the Cup Finals with a 2-1 win in Game Four at the Igloo.

War's over. Detroit's dropped the big one.
What? "Over"? Did you say "over"? Nothing's over until we decide it is!

If you watched Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight and still are not a hockey fan, then you need to go kill yourself. Immediately. Unbelievable game and, by all rights, the Red Wings should've taken it going away. Pittsburgh looked timid, especially in the third period and first OT where they were dominated. The Pens power play continued to look miserable (how ironic that...
