Penguins Win Stanley Cup

THE PITTSBURGH PENGUINS HAVE WON THE 2016 STANLEY CUP. They beat the Sharks 3-1 in San Jose and have won their first Stanley Cup since 2009. Sidney Crosby surprisingly won the Conn Smyth trophy as the most valuable player in the playoffs. He also passed the Stanley Cup to Trevor Daley who broke his ankle during the playoffs and he passed it to Pascal Dupuis who had a blood clot that ended his career during the season. For the Sharks, they have made an amazing run to the Finals that ended 2 games away to the Stanley Cup. 18 year Sharks Patrick Marleau sadly did not win the Cup and this could be his only chance to win the Stanley Cup unless he plays somewhere else in the future or wins it here in San Jose. Brian Dumoulin, Kris Letang, and Patric Hornqvist were the scorer for the Penguins with Hornqvist's being the empty netter. Logan Couture was the only one who scored for the Sharks this game. The Penguins will be having their Stanley Cup, parade soon and the Sharks will just have to hit the golf course. I will be putting out more info tomorrow in my Penguins season review that should come out tomorrow morning. Could the Sharks have won the game? Did Sidney Crosby deserve the Conn Smyth? Will the Penguins win it next year again? stay tuned....
