Everything decomposed pre-match was against “Penguins.” North American, domestic experts and bookmakers gave an advantage, “Red Wings”. And what were trumps in “Pittsburgh”? Marc-Andre Fleury, and indeed the entire team in away matches with “Detroit” is played so poorly, Sykora was injured and could not help the partners, Crosby and Malkin in the series against the points almost no gain, the statistics also was against the black Gold: the team, second in the series 0-2, won the seventh match of the final twice, most recently – more than 30 years ago … But the life – not statistics. In the decisive moments of triumph are strong in spirit, ready to fight to the end. Then it becomes clear who can ignite himself and partners, who are just burned out.

More than a hundred

match the team this season. But it was not important, since solved all the latest, final, decisive …

“Everything was against pre-match decomposed” Penguins. “NORTH AMERICAN, domestic experts and bookmakers gave an advantage,” Red Wings “

Began dashing rivals. “Wings” on the rights of the owners rushed forward. “Pittsburgh” on the Rights of the guests fought off an attack, not forgetting the very dangerous snarl. But here in all its glory manifested itself Chris Osgood. Pressure, “Detroit” came to naught after the removal of the middle period, Brad Stuart. For half a minute, “Penguins' opponent in the area were taken, but the account remained undiscovered. At the end of the home teams exchanged dvadtsatiminutki dangerous moments. Maltby and Fedotenko their chances are not used.

Second period began for the “Detroit” with a bolt from the blue. Completely harmless episode ended Stewart's mistake at the gate. Transit through the puck skate Malkin was at Maxim Talbi, which hit Osgood's exactly the “house”. And then thundered, even for “Pittsburgh.” Franzen caught Crosby on the power device, and a Canadian, limping on one leg, rolled to the bench.

Let

Sid is not gaining points, but how much effort it takes away an opponent of Defense? While not lost someone – a captain. And then there Gill went out of season. “Detroit” has scored the most since before the last match. Do not beat the red and white now. As you know, you do not score – scoring you.

Punish an opponent for extravagance is the same Talbi. Advocates of “Wings” made a mistake again, this time in another zone, and once again become a fatal mistake. Picking up the puck at his blue line, Max did not share with anyone, went into a zone of an opponent and shook the cobwebs from the upper corner of the gate Osgood – 2:0. That's easy. And who would have thought! Not Malkin, Crosby did not, and gray-looking and homely Talbi decide the fate of the most important match of the season, but may for someone else and careers. Here it is the role of personality in history!

Third period turned to “Pittsburgh” in hell. Driven by their fans, “Detroit” just rolling out your opponents on the court. True to the results of the rolling Fleury came the rare. Total 7 shots hit the target. Defencists “Pittsburgh” allowed his opponent to control the puck, but close to the gate were not allowed. Then, “Red Wings” used his favorite weapon – long throws, and seven minutes before the end of the period by the change – 2:1. This is Ericsson's loaded from the blue.

“The third period turned to” Pittsburgh “in hell. Driven by the fans,” Detroit “just rolling out your opponents on the court. But Fleury came the results of the rolling rarely”

Delivers fantastic ending. “Detroit” literally lived in the area of ​​”Pittsburgh.” One of the lingering sound of combinations topped bar. This Kronvallu lacked luck. “Wings” took off the goalkeeper and further increased the pressure.

And six seconds left. Zetterberg wins face-off. It should be shot from the blue line. The puck bounces to Lidstrom, who throws in a completely empty corner … but there appears the figure of Fleury, who did not jump on the puck, he falls for her, like a wounded … Serena. All!

And then – embracing, kissing each other and the Stanley Cup and, of course, the presentation of Evgeni Malkin, “Conn Smythe Trophy” as the most valuable player playoff.

Jack Bravo, bravo Sydney, Bravo Max! And of course, is Dan Bylsma bravo!

History repeated itself. In 1984, “Edmonton”, led by Gretzky and Messier young heralded the arrival of a new dynasty, wresting the cup from aging, “Islanders”. Now a new dynasty has become the “Pittsburgh”.

“Detroit” – “Pittsburgh” – 1:2 (0:0, 0:2, 1:0)

0:1 – 21.13 Talbi (Malkin), 0:2 – 30.07 Talbi (Kunitz, Scuderi), 1:2 – 53.53 Eriksson (Lidstrom, Hudler)
